Although it is called a castle, there is not much 'castle.' Most of the rooms and breakfast area are located in a more modern extension in the back. Nice view of gardens in the back of the hotel. The shower pressure was poor. Had Wifi, though limited to front of hotel. Very good breakfast. Location was ideal in this charming... more

Just got back from staying the weekend at Dornoch Castle Hotel and we loved the whole experience. On arrival on the Friday evening, we were greeted by a very nice lady who, after checking us in, personally took us to our room. She was so nice and helpful. We were in a Garden Room which was very pleasant indeed, with... more

When we decided to get married in Dornoch, we made arrangements to have our reception at the Castle Hotel. Ros and Colin couldn't have been more helpful - everything went so smoothly and we and our guests had a fabulous time (Ros even managed to make sure it was sunny - or so she told me!!). We spent our wedding... more

The hotel is looking rather down-at-heel and this is regrettably reflected in the attitude of some of the staff, particularly the younger ones who at times exhibited a 'couldn't care less' attitude to quite simple requests. The staff were clearly overwhelmed at dinner (it took us an hour to be served our first course and even then it was luke... more

We had three rooms in this hotel. One had a leaky ceiling with a view of the roof. One had no ventilation at all. One was okay. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly and helped in any way they could. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. more

We stayed for one night as part of a long weekend break. It is a very old historic building in the heart of Dornoch and we found it a very pleasant place to stay. The room was average size but very clean and tidy with everything you would expect. The bathroom was very clean with a huge shower, plenty of... more

Deceided to have a weekend away with my fiance up north and booked 2 nights dinner, bed and breakfast in Dornoch Castle Hotel. I just fancied a change from our usual fairly modern hotel chioce and an Old Castle seemed a great idea. I was not disappointed our room was gorgeous in the castle and the staff were very warm... more

My husband and I stayed at Dornoch Castle Hotel as part of our honeymoon in the Highlands. We've stayed in 4 different hotels in the past 3 weeks ranging from 3* to 5* and i have to say that Dornoch Castle was the best. We stayed in the Old Courtroom which was fab, a big four poster bed and open... more

Stayed at the Dornoch Castle Hotel for 3 nights in a Deluxe Room, Dinner Bed and Breakfast. Location was mainly due to golfing at Royal Dornoch, Brora and Tain. The rooms themselves were not the greatest in that the walls are quite thin and they are in need of updating, however they are immaculate and spotlessly clean. The bathrooms are... more
