The breakfast was good - but the choice could have been wider. The short freckly waiter was excellent and his years of experience showed, as did that of the evening guy at reception. The others on reception were fine too. The staircase is awesome. The woodwork too. The bed was comfy. There were tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom. The murals in the dining area were very good. The furniture was excellent. And the carpets. I first stayed at the hotel in 1957, and my last stay was 1970. In some ways not much has changed (though see below) but now the rooms have en suite, TVs, tea/coffee. Etc.

Very nice location by the Royal Dornoch Golf Course. This is a grand old hotel that has maintained its grandness.

Peg

Historic old hotel, wonderful old lounge and lobby. Young ladies at front desk were the best! Very friendly and helpful. Great location near Royal Dornoch Golf Club, short walk (maybe 5 minutes) to clubhouse. Short walk (maybe 10 minutes) into center of town with shops, pubs, restaurants, cathedral. Good breakfast and dinner. Get a pint and look out across the famous golf course!

We enjoyed the ambiance of the hotel and our cozy room. The location was an easy walk into the charming town center, where we spent most of our time. Our room was cozy nicely decorated, but a little tight.

We love this hotel. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It is an old hotel which may be in need of some tender loving care at times but lovely. The service was good and everything was clean. We loved the staircase and the history of the building tells you stories

Place really needs a refurb. Bit of dirt and mould around the windows that couldn't be opened due to knackered pulls. Shower wasn't the best. Breakfast was poor.
Location was nice and quiet. Views over the golf course were pleasant to wake up to.

“Extremely relaxing: the hotel is a grand old lady in need of some TLC.”

One of the waiters was a bit abrupt at breakfast (admittedly we scraped in just in time!). There was fluff and dirt in the corners in the bathroom. One of the bedsheets, whilst spotless, had small holes in it. The original bedroom windows were in dire need of paint, putty and repair in places. The stair carpet has seen better days. Various grasses are sprouting from the gutters. A railing between the driveway and the pitch and putt course would be useful, to stop cars going over the edge. The pitch and putt course was in a state - bunkers overgrown, no sign of greens, and the putting green was no more. Get rid of the gaming machine that hits you just as you enter the hallway - it cheapens the place.
The breakfast was good - but the choice could have been wider. The short freckly waiter was excellent and his years of experience showed, as did that of the evening guy at reception. The others on reception were fine too. The staircase is awesome. The woodwork too. The bed was comfy. There were tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom.

Booked a double got a family room, which was dirty, shown another room again family room, dirty, duty manager cleaned original room. Woken at 2am couple next door arguing our door was hit heard things getting smashed shouting swearing threats of violence. In genuine fear scared to even phone reception in case he tried to gain entry to our room as he was in total rage. Lasted for at least 3 hours. When we mentioned it in the morning to reception, claimed knew nothing about and no other guest had mentioned either which I find very hard to believe. We were more or less fobbed off, all he could say was oh you should have called us, didn’t seem bothered at all. Would be reluctant to stay here again as attitude was appalling.
The location was fantastic

I didn't like cobwebs hanging all over the roof, looking behind the bedside tables etc the skirting is covered in cobwebs, this place has not seen a decent clean for ages. A tired, tired hotel. Find an establishment that cares about its customers.
Avoid it, rooms are filthy, if you love cobwebs and stained carpets etc this is for you.
