Top Dornoch Beach Hotel Reviews

Seabank House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property run by wonderful people. Great place to stay"

Courtyard by Marriott Inverness Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Perfectly situated. Friendly team. Excellent breakfast."

The Highland Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"The communal areas were decorated in keeping with a classic highland theme which was good. The room although clean and comfortable would benefit from modernisation. Breakfast was decent with a mix of fried and continental options. The car park was full when I arrived which was late evening to be fair and there was plenty of street parking around."

Tulloch Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a fun experience. Understand that this is an old property so it won’t be up to date modern and pristine. But it was a great place to stay for a night with kids."

Invernairne Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The evening receptionist was exceptional! The whole premesis was quiet and comfortble. The breakfast was excellent. There is a short walk from the guesthouse to the beach and then a long walkway. The gardens are fabulous - I wished I was staying longer!"

Royal Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Warm & friendly welcome made our check in a great start to a lovely stay. The room, although at the rear of the property with no views, was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was a bonus as we didn’t expect it to be included and it was quite delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to everyone."

Mansfield Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a convenient, yet quiet, place to spend a couple of nights relatively close (for an American) to Inverness. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and had great views. If visiting in warm weather, no A/C might be an issue for you, but the windows open and we were comfortable in September. On-site breakfast and restaurant were very handy and tasty. Easy parking. If it had a lift/elevator, it would be perfect."

Novar Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was prompt. Premises was clean throughout. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Nice bar area. Good quiet location."

Dornoch Station

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant older hotel, well maintained. Beautiful views and very close to the Royal Dornach golf course"
