Very spacious, comfortable and clean. Lots of little bits of homeliness around. I particularly liked the giant dominoes. Walked to the beach in about 10-15 minutes. And was in walking distance to town. Can recommend the Dornoch Bookshop and Cocoa Mountain for the best hot chocolate.

    Lovely room, modern decor. The bed was so comfortable. We really liked that our room had access to the outside decking, perfect for an early morning cup of coffee or to watch the sunset. Monica and Santa were so accomadating. Breakfast was very tasty.

    Perfect location just a short walk from the main street in Dornoch, also very close to the golf club and beach. Loved the clever use of space and the way the bed folded out.

    The caravan was clean and tidy. Heating was on when I arrived which was so lovely as it was chilly out! Everything I needed was there and plenty storage for my own belongings/ food. So close to the best beach around, I went down to watch the sunrise then came back up to get ready for my day.

    An impressive building and a wonderful location by the seashore. A little outdated here and there but very clean which matters the most to me. I had the luck of waking up to an incredibly beautiful morning watching the early sun dry out the mist having tea in the room before going for a stroll on the beach.

    Lovely location and we had a beach view room. We received a warm welcome from reception and our dog was made a fuss of, which was lovely. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. This hotel has huge potential to be outstanding with some investment, just a shame it hasn't received the tlc it deserves. However, that said we were well rested and ready for our next day of travels.
