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!

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.

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.
