Many of the rooms are in a more contemporary extension at the back of the property and these lack the character of the main hotel. The rooms could benefit from some upgrading but were fine for our one night stay.

The hotel is in a lovely location in the heart of Dornoch. It is a beautiful castle building with attractive garden. The staff were lovely - and very helpful including afterwards - sending me an item I had left in the room. The food choice in the restaurant was excellent - we had a great evening meal and breakfast.

The one bit of criticism I have is the fact that the glass bottles were thrown into recycling right outside our room in the yard past 10pm which is not ideal when you have a young toddler who you’ve just managed to get to sleep and then suddenly you hear the crashing of glass which was really loud especially at that time of night.

The smaller menu for dinner which featured mostly pizzas! Also the ‘continental’ breakfast - we’re in Scotland so why not a good wholesome Scottish breakfast?

The housekeeping was a little lacking within the room itself however management addressed this for me very quickly and were highly responsive which I really appreciated.

The location is stunning, the rooms also very nicely decorated and presented. The hotel staff were lovely and we had a lovely evening in the restaurant and then in front of the open fire in the cosy bar. There is a stunning back court to take in the sun and relax.

What could be better than staying in a castle??? Facilities were modern enough but the vibe was the best.

The breakfast concept is a huge cop out. It displays laziness from the arrival into the dining area at breakfast time. There was no one to greet us or to explain where anything was. When someone did come out of the kitchen, she was so distracted by everything else, that the plates had run out and the tea and coffee machine had run out of water. The offer of a continental breakfast with cold - yep you read that right - cold. - fried eggs or bacon is a huge no no! Especially in a traditional setting. A full Scottish breakfast, either as an a la Carte, or as a buffet, should be offered. The toasters, which appear to be domestic type machines, also took a long time to produce any toast, OK when you’re at home but not for a setting where lots of people end up queueing up for toast.

The hotel concept is sound, the check in procedure was professionally dealt with and we were shown to our lovely room. We booked in for dinner which was of very good quality, drinks in the bar were also served without any issue, in a lovely cozy setting. The room was comfortable and we had a great nights sleep.

Good selection of quality charcuterie and smoked fish, but only served fried eggs and bacon for hot food at breakfast. Didn't offer to cook eggs in any other way even though I asked for scrambled egg to go with the salmon.

Location was excellent, near the golf course and walking distance to all the attractions in Dornoch. Quality of the food ingredients was good. The ambience in the bar and restaurant was lovely, and the staff were very pleasant and helpful
