Excellent dog-friendly hotel

Excellent stay at Dornoch Station, along with our dog. Hotel and staff very dog friendly. Breakfast service on the first day (with our dog, in the lounge) was incredibly slow; but second day (without our dog, in the restaurant) was speedy. Quality of food and drinks excellent!

Felt it was a bit overpriced and undelivered. Bit of a communication mismatch. No offer of help with luggage, Breakfast was not served - it was a buffet. View from our very pricey rooms was of a tarmaced roof which had had several seagull visits. I know dealing with those characters and their calling cards is allied with cleaning the Augean stables.Seagulls do what seagulls do. However I'm sure the hotel would be just perfect for golfers. One of my chums wanted to see the course which is why I had booked the hotel. Certainly the view of the golf course from the front door and porch was stunning. Staff I met were pleasant and well presented. I would recommend the hotel to golfers.

Staff were very good. Food excellent. The issue is that this is not a 5 star hotel in its amenities. The big fails are the lift which keeps sticking and doesn't then work, the truly dreadful paintwork, tables where the varnish has degraded so everything sticks to the surface, room fridges don't cool, holes in the bath towels. Positive, this could be a marvellous hotel.

Lovely hotel in quiet village, beautiful location

The hotel is in a lovely old building, next to a golf course and the coast, in a pretty village. My wife and I enjoyed our stay there. It is a quiet and comfortable hotel, with good dining. I could imagine sitting out on the front verandah on a warm day, with a cold drink in hand; a very pleasant place to be.

Reception, downstairs lounge and bar area were very warm and nicely furnished and decorated. Extremely poor service at breakfast. One person serving and we waited 1hr 15 for food even then we had to ask to order. Food was nice when it came but disappointing overall.
