Golspie Inn

4/10 Poor

"Price does not reflect the state of the hotel…"

Bannockburn Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Gave us a room upgrade. The room was spacious and light. Plenty of blankets towels and tea/coffee supplies. Dinner downstairs was excellent and our waitress Emily was bubbly and very sweet. The room was a bit dated but that added to the charm. There was a well equipped kitchen with refrig and stove. No breakfast at this inn. But there are options close by. The bar had a lot of options and the prices very very reasonable. Would absolutely stay here again. "

Dornoch Station

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful hotel. Arrived for an overnight stay, booked standard king, checked in, was given a standard twin, as it’s same cost, we accepted, it didn’t matter. Room was pretty small but nice, not a great view, but was adequate with a very small wardrobe (4 hangers), wardrobe had no other storage space, as top shelf had the room safe, iron, fan etc stored there. Now here’s the weird thing, there were no drawers anywhere in the room to store underwear, T-shirts, jumpers etc. Called down to reception thinking we must be making a mistake only to be advised “You are correct there are no storage drawers for clothing in this room or any other”!! After further discussion with the very nice duty manager we were upgraded to a bigger room, really lovely, but still no storage drawers. Not sure what we would have done if we had been there for a week or where the many golfers who are there store anything. As it was, a few items went in the wardrobe and the rest stayed in our holdalls! I will repeat, this is a great hotel, beautiful location, good staff, clean, very nice bar area, lovely breakfast. However, invest in what every other hotel has, a couple of drawers for clothes in the bedrooms and maybe one in the bathroom."
