Top Dornoch Beach Hotel Reviews

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!"

Seabank House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, wonderful owners. Beautiful breakfast and gorgeous surroundings"

The Highland Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"Place was lovely and staff very helpful and welcoming. Lovely big rooms. Dinner was a let down and not worth the extra money Breakfast was much better"

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."

Tulloch Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed the unique hotel .we did miss having the ghost story tour that we experienced in 2019 Well maintained and great staff in pub and breakfast room . Thanks from Canada"

Courtyard by Marriott Inverness Airport

8/10 Good

"Upgrade the Tv. It’s 2026 and everyone wants access to Netflix/prime /youtube ect"

Royal Golf Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel rooms are very small and desperately need to be updated. The staff was wonderful. The bar service is slow but room is charming."

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."
