Lovely Cottage
Enjoyed our stay in Dornoch. Extremely hot week - could have done with a lighter downie! Enjoyed trips to Dunrobin Castle, Portmahomack, Cromarty via Nigg Ferry and of course Dornoch's wonderful beach. Beer Garden at Dornoch Castle Hotel and Royal Golf Hotel recommended. Minor points: i)TV acted up a bit ii)could do with more face/hand towels and toilet rolls Thanks Helen

Great location
Very good week. Handbook had all information we required. Excellent location enabling us to walk to all the restaurants and stroll round the town. No basic issues. One slight one was the hand basin. Hot tap only had a 1/4 turn so very slow plus plug didn't sit properly and allowed water to flow out.

Perfect stay in Dornoch!
My two weeks in Dornoch could not have been more perfect at this property. The location is ideal and the Donald Ross history angle makes it even more special for a golfer. Communication was great and Julia, the owner, was very available. I did not have any issues or concerns during the stay as everything was straightforward and in excellent condition. Thank you again, Julia—I hope to be able to stay again next year!
