Smart hotel next to the Royal Dornoch Golf Club. In walking distance to the beach (where you can swim if you’re brave or own a wetsuit!) and the town where there are many options to eat if you decide not to always dine at the hotel. We had a smart, modern room overlooking the golf course and sea. It had a large, comfortable bed and monsoon shower.

It was a great place to stay weather you play golf or not. Good food and the bed was to die for. Super bar and fire place in the bar. Only tough part is carrying the bags up the stairs.

Town was lovely. Hotel is a golf course right on huge beach. Service was fantastic. Room had great view of course and water. Only negative was our room had a traditional “double bed”. So we felt cramped sleeping at night. Room could hold a larger one. So hoping they upgrade for future guests. Enjoy our stay immensely.
