"We were travelling from Australia on the first leg of the nc 500. Beautiful village. Hotel very quiet generally but our room extremely quiet. Good comfortable bed. Adequate sized room. Staff friendly and helpful. Dinner enjoyable and big breakfast. Good sized car park. Lots of quiet areas to sit and relax. You may find the stairs a challenge with big suitcases. A very pleasant stay."

"The view from the dining room (across the first tee at Royal Dornoch, and over the Dornoch Firth) is stunning. Food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent, and the staff were very helpful. Our only disappointment was the view from our bedroom, featuring a fire escape and staff walkway. Not important as we were only staying one night, but I will check the room before booking when I return."

"Struttura in posizione molto bella fronte lago. Le camere sono confortevoli e spaziose. Per cenare nel ristorante della struttura si deve prenotare ed essere lì entro le 18:30, chiude presto. C’è però una mini cucina con tutto il necessario per potersi cucinare qualcosa in stanza, con 2 piccoli tavolini da sistemare davanti alle 2 poltrone della zona salotto/tv di fianco al letto. Gli altri ristoranti sono almeno a 25 minuti di auto dalla struttura. Noi ci siamo trovati molto bene. Parcheggio privato dietro la camera. Comoda se si vuole girare la zona e soggiornare in un posto immerso nella tranquillità"
