We first stayed in this hotel on our honeymoon 30 years ago and have just returned there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had a great time! The hotel owners and staff made you feel very welcome. We booked DBB for 5 nights and the food in the restaurant was excellent. Breakfast each morning was also very good. Our room... more

This is a very nice hotel located in the centre of Dornoch. The rooms are very well presented and the staff are keen to help. So why is the food standard so low? We travelled far and wide on the 2 weeks around UK and we can truthful say that the food here was the poorest we had eaten. We... more

4 golfers, stayed at the Castle for a night. The staff were very friendly and willing to have a laugh, Phil was more than willing to talk about his wine and whiskey selections. Superior room was very comfortable and what you'd expect in an old setting. Food was very good, well prepared and presented, a night in the bar with... more

Inside and outside, the hotel itself has a very traditional Scottish castle feel to it. The bar has a very pleasant ambience with a log fire to help you unwind. The restaurant overlooks the gardens where traditional Scottish food is served under candle light in the evenings. Adjoining the hotel is a fantastic contemporary gift shop well worth a visit.... more

My wife and I stayed at the hotel for our joint 30th birthdays for a long weekend. We desperately wanted a quiet getaway where we could relax, enjoy beatiful surroundings, eat good food and generally just recharge our batteries. The hotel exceeded our expectations - amazing food, friendly staff, warm & welcoming atmosphere. Then there was our room - The... more

We had a wonderful New Year in The Dornoch Castle Hotel which is situated within a beautiful village which is very unusual for Scotland with it's light coloured stone buildings. We were superbly looked after throughout and the staff were exceptional. We stayed in the old part of the hotel and had a lovely room, which was charming and well... more

We have just had a wonderful Hogmanay break at the Dornoch Castle Hotel - and what a way to start the New Year!! We arrived on Dec 30th and stayed until Jan 2nd, and from the moment we set foot in the castle until the sad moment we had to leave, we were thoroughly spoiled!! The hotel is magnificent .... more

As a group of 4 people celebrating a 50th birthday, we would like to express how we thoroughly enjoyed this winter break.

The restaurant menu was superb and we felt the whole experience was wonderful We would love to return some time in the future and... more

Dornoch is a small community with little choice of good hotels. This hotel would attract more customers if improvements were made. Staff come from the local community and seem to lack any international experience. A good food menu but lacking in what i would call local dishes which would be interesting to foreign visitors. All in all a bit overated. more
