Lovely, comfortable hotel
It’s a lovely hotel - all the rooms are large and didn’t feel at all crowded, even in the bar which was quite busy in the evenings. Bedroom was very large and comfortable, with a nice en-suite shower room. A very good breakfast was provided with lots of choice. My only negative is that it is pretty expensive - although we stayed as a ‘treat’ at the end of a touring holiday in the Highlands and it was very nice! 😃

Not enough staff on duty to provide dinner service. The staff were very pleasant though. Menu far too expensive for this level of hotel.

8/10 Very Good

The room picture Expedia shows in the reservation and in this review is complete misrepresentation of the room we were provided; significantly smaller, appearance of furnishings dated, cramped sitting area and no bay window. I don’t know if the hotel is responsible or Expedia for this picture being used, but it is a bait and switch. They can easily show pictures of a variety of room choices/accomodations.

Smart hotel next to the Royal Dornoch Golf Club. In walking distance to the beach (where you can swim if you’re brave or own a wetsuit!) and the town where there are many options to eat if you decide not to always dine at the hotel. We had a smart, modern room overlooking the golf course and sea. It had a large, comfortable bed and monsoon shower.

In need of a 5 star place to rest after 9 days of
It was a great place to stay weather you play golf or not. Good food and the bed was to die for. Super bar and fire place in the bar. Only tough part is carrying the bags up the stairs.

Staff is unbelievably amazing. Royal Dornoch Golf course is literally downstairs. It's clean and has a traditional vibe. Would recommend anyone that is visiting the town or playing at their breathtaking golf course.

Town was lovely. Hotel is a golf course right on huge beach. Service was fantastic. Room had great view of course and water. Only negative was our room had a traditional “double bed”. So we felt cramped sleeping at night. Room could hold a larger one. So hoping they upgrade for future guests. Enjoy our stay immensely.
