10/10 Excellent
"A very quiet and private place to stay, especially as there aren’t many other options or facilities nearby. You’ll mainly need to rely on the hotel’s own restaurant, but luckily the dinner was very good and we really enjoyed it. The staff were also friendly and helpful. A great choice if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful and away from the crowds."

Links House at Royal Dornoch

Links House at Royal Dornoch

10/10 Excellent
"The Links Hotel is beautiful, well decorated and comfortable. We stayed in the newer building and when we walked into our room my first response was how much I loved the colors. Our room had a view of Royal Dornoch Golf Course. The bed was comfortable, the sitting area very nice and situated to the view. The huge bathroom was spacious and luxurious. We arrived to two little glass bottles of an Auld Fashioned with shortbread—yummy! There is an espresso machine and tea service outside the rooms on the second floor for all to use, a mini fridge full of cold waters and chocolate bars on the shelf. Breakfast is included and was quite delicious. We highly recommend The Links!"

10/10 Excellent
"We chose the Bridge Hotel as a stopover on our way to the ferry at Scrabster. The hotel is in a lovely period building just opposite the old bridge/river. We were greeted by a roaring real fire in the characterful entrance/lounge. It has a grand feel with lots of interesting cabinets /curios and prints on the walls. Our 2nd floor room was spacious with good views to the hillside. The was plenty of choice in the breakfast room next morning. A perfect stopover..."

Bettyhill Hotel

Bettyhill Hotel

8/10 Good
"Wonderful staff - could not have done more to help or be more friendly! There was a good selection of food but I found it overpriced for what it was - mains start at £20. It's classic type food which was cooked well but not outstanding. The room and bathroom were incredibly clean and well presented. The bed was slightly uncomfortable, though and I couldn't help but think that an investment in new mattresses would go a long way, especially for tired travellers after a long day! Otherwise, this was a wonderful hotel in a great location if you're doing the NC500."
