Last year a friend and I cycled from JohnO'Groats to Land's End. When we arrived at Auchlea, Fiona was extremely welcoming and allowed us to store our bikes in the garage. Our room was extremely comfy and we had everything we needed and were advised by Fiona of a nearby restaurant which was ideal for us to walk to. The... More

We spent a short family break in Dornoch in early spring. Despite it being the tail end of winter, the region didn't feel cold; rather, it was basking in its own mild micro-climate! Auchlea is only a short drive from the historic town and easily found from the main road. The house is surrounded by beautifully kept gardens and has... More

I have just returned from spending a week at Auchlea and would rate my stay as exceptional. I was immediately struck by Fiona's relaxed welcoming caring manner. Fiona goes the extra mile for her guests in order to ensure that they are comfortable. The B&B is warm, bright, ultra clean, and very comfortable. The setting is beautiful and her grounds... More

She also provides very good tips on local eating establisments. This was a guys golf outing, no surprise, to Dornoch. I will go back with my wife... More

We had a wonderful two days here. Our host was friendly and very helpful. The highlight was the wonderful breakfasts with a view across the bay out from the conservatory that most people would pay a fortune for.Every effort was made to make your stay enjoyable. Home made jams and bread just added to the wonderful breakfasts.

Auchlea is a very comfortable and modern home. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dornoch and Fiona made my family and I very welcome. Breakfast was a treat with homemade bread and jam and this level of service really made the difference for me. Would definately return and look forward to staying there again.

We stayed at Auchlea last year on our way to Orkney and were so impressed, we decided to stay again this year, this time, on our way home from another Orkney trip. The first thing that strikes you about Auchlea B & B, apart from being in a very peaceful location near the lovely town of Dornoch, is how clean... More
