    Very friendly welcoming environment. Excellent choices for breakfast/ evening meals in the restaurant which had a lovely view. Lively bar area which hosted live entertainment on our visit ( this is a regular occurrence at the venue). Room was pleasantly decorated and had a good sea view.

    Water pressure was lacking a little in the shower

    Check-in was easy and informative, they helped organise a table in the restaurant for dinner and a grab-and-go breakfast for our early start! The room was equipped with kettle, tv, toiletries, and the bed was very comfortable.

    Twisty, steep stairs, lack of parking and small en-suite, but better than having a shared bathroom.

    It’s, history, the decor, the staff, the food and the entertainment.

    We come in from the USA jet lagged and have a drive to our flat in Dornoch. This is the perfect place to stay before or after an international flight. Just great

    The entrance from the rear of the building takes you near the entrance to the bar and there is no obvious reception desk. When we arrived, I went inside to check in. There was a function going on in the bar and it was really noisy and crowded. I had to go to the bar and attract the attention of one of the bar staff, a young man. He didn't utter any words of welcome, but he began to check us in using an electronic device on the bar. He told me we were in room one and handed me the key. Not knowing the layout of the hotel, and there being no apparent signs pointing to the rooms or anywhere else, I asked him. "How do I find room one?" His reply, totally straight-faced, was, "It's got number one on the door." He wasn't trying to be funny, I think he just thought I was stupid. I said, "No, which direction do I go in?" He pointed towards the doorway leading to the hall and said, "Up the stairs and turn left." When I told my wife about it, we both had a laugh, but it wasn't really the way to deal with a paying guest.

    The location was lovely, overlooking a wide grassed area which led to the beach. The view from the room was really beautiful. The room itself was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The food in the restaurant was lovely. We had really nice steaks. At breakfast, a really nice lady served us and chatted to us and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed our stay.

    I wasn’t warned that there were steps at an angle immediately on entering so I nearly fell down them because my view was obscured by the gear I was carrying. Otherwise perfect

    Breakfast was very good, as was the dinner although so generous that I only had a main. The room was generous for a single room & had a lovely view. The walk by the sea was great.
