We stayed at this old castle hotel as a base for the wonderful Dornoch and Tain golf courses. Comfortable rooms excellent breakfast and very helpful staff and a good bar stocked with many malt whiskeys.

We had a lovley stay at The Dornach Castle Hotel, the staff were very helpful and the food in the garden resturant was lovley, The hotel is in the centre of this beautiful village. We had a really goodnight sleep and our room looked over the gardens. We will go back and stay here again.

It was nice to find this hotel after a long drive through the barren Scottish landscapes. The bar downstairs is very nice. We did not stay in the castle itself which really was a pity. Breakfast was very nice with plenty of choice.

I booked what looked like the best room in the hotel (The old courtroom) for one night at the rate of £250 pr ,and if i'm honest the room was nice ....... but never was it worth that sort of money. The rest of the hotel was average at best , the dining room was like a conservatory that looked... More

The Dornach castle Hotel is a lovely hotel with a friendly staff and neat wood paneled bar with many selections of whiskey and knowledgable staff. The hotel was close to beach. Dunrobin Castle a short drive away. Quaint village The hotel restaurant was superb and presentation of food beautiful. Tomato Brie risotto highly recommend

We stayed there in Sept/Oct 2010 when we were in Scotland for our honeymoon. We stayed for two nights and as this was our "treat" for our honeymoon we went all out and got the deluxe "Old Courtroom" room. Both my husband and I loved it. This is the room to get if you actually want the "feel" of being... More

Had a very pleasant stay here this weekend. The hotel tries very hard and exceeds it's three star status. However having stayed in a deluxe room for the weekend I have to say the bed was so uncomfortable ! The wc area smelled funny ,maybe due to all the ivy outside on the wall and the birds who nest inside... More

Two of us had lamb and the other two had pork, the portions were not very big at all, 3 small slices or meat, 2 potatoes and not much else. The yorkshire pudding was cold and the pork was inedible, we... More

Dear Cameron_W96, Thank you for taking the time to review your meal at the Dornoch Castle Hotel. We were disappointed to read that you did not enjoy all aspects of your meal with us. Most of our customers who come in for Sunday lunch find the portions to be of a generous size. It is unfortunate that you did not... More
