The corner room had incredible views, but the kitchen noise disturbed our sleep.

Had a blast with friends during our stay! We explored the stunning beach and played a round of golf nearby. The rooms were comfy, and the staff was super friendly. Breakfast offered a nice variety, but make sure to ask for extra toast if you want more! a great place for a fun getaway.

On the downside, our check-in was a bit rocky as the early check-in request wasn’t communicated well, leading to a minor room mix-up.

I enjoyed my stay at The Royal in Dornoch. The views of the golf course and the beach provided perfect scenes for my photography. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Though the restaurant service could be improved, I found the dining atmosphere cozy. A lovely stay overall.

i've always loved staying in dornoch, and this time was no exception. the views from our room were breathtaking, overlooking the golf course and the firth. dining was a standout experience, especially the perfectly cooked breakfast with a variety of options.

the bar lacked a cozy atmosphere.

I had a lovely stay where I enjoyed a fantastic breakfast each morning, especially the pancakes, and the gigantic shower felt like a spa day! The hotel had a cozy garden area for relaxing and a nice bar to unwind in the evening. The bathroom could use a little TLC, but overall, it was a nice experience! 😊

great setting but some modern updates needed

The hotel's surrounding environment was picturesque and offered a serene atmosphere. I particularly appreciated the high-quality meals available at the on-site restaurant, which made dining convenient due to limited local options.

Some of the amenities felt outdated.

I had an amazing time during my stay here, especially when they surprised me with a birthday gift in my room and a complimentary upgrade! The pool area is perfect for relaxing, and I loved lounging on the sun terrace. The only hiccup was that the shower could have used better pressure, but it didn’t really dampen my experience! 🎉

enjoyable walks to fascinating historical sites and local eateries

I stayed in a comfortable room with a lovely view over the golf course and had two super days exploring nearby historical landmarks like Dornoch Cathedral and indulging in wonderful meals at charming cafes just a short walk away.

Stunning views and warm atmosphere

The hotel offers breathtaking views of the golf course and nearby beach, making it a lovely setting for relaxation after a day of activities. My room was fantastic with a comfortable large bed, and the breakfast selection was wonderful, featuring a variety of freshly cooked options. a subtle update to the air conditioning in the rooms would significantly enhance comfort during warmer days.

The stay was a delightful retreat, especially enjoying the breathtaking views over the golf course and nearby beach. The spacious Deluxe King room was really comfortable, providing a great atmosphere to relax after a day of exploring. The service was exceptional. the friendly staff made us feel right at home. Dining in the brasserie was a treat with a cozy vibe and quality meals throughout our stay.

our stay at the royal was quite nice. the views over the golf course and beach were breathtaking. the deluxe king room was spacious and comfortable, making it a great place to relax. a standout was the friendly service we received from the young receptionist and isla in the restaurant. dinner offered a good menu, and it felt cozy dining there.

would recommend

Would definitely recommend for a mini-vacation

Wonderful staff, lovely views, the staff at the hotel were absolutely wonderful, especially in the restaurant at breakfast and dinner, and the view towards the beach was lovely with easy access to the golden shorelines.

Nothing, everything was great.

Our room was lovely and toasty after the manager upgraded us. The lounge was cozy, and the views were delightful!

We nearly froze our buns off in the original room! Not the best experience—it's not a snow lodge, darling!
