This is our second visit to Dornoch Castle, and there’s always the worry that a second stay won’t live up to the magic of the first. We needn’t have worried though - we had a wonderful visit once again and are now even more enthralled with the Castle and the amazing staff. The castle is clean, full of wonderful character and has lots of lovely, quirky details. The beer garden is a great space to spend a sunny afternoon, the bar is atmospheric and the perfect place to sample some good, old Scottish hospitality. Our room was sunny, beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Reception staff, house keeping, bar and restaurant staff were kept busy, and managed to smile their way through some very long shifts. They were engaging and helpful and a real credit to the hotel. The restaurant was just as fabulous as we remembered too. Great atmosphere, attentive staff and the food was superb. So good, we didn’t remember to take those Instagram worthy photographs of our meal choices, we just dived in! An absolute treat! We really can’t wait to book our next visit - this place is a wee gem!
