In need of a 5 star place to rest after 9 days of

It was a great place to stay weather you play golf or not. Good food and the bed was to die for. Super bar and fire place in the bar. Only tough part is carrying the bags up the stairs.

Smart hotel next to the Royal Dornoch Golf Club. In walking distance to the beach (where you can swim if you’re brave or own a wetsuit!) and the town where there are many options to eat if you decide not to always dine at the hotel. We had a smart, modern room overlooking the golf course and sea. It had a large, comfortable bed and monsoon shower.

We cannot say enough about the staff at the Royal Golf Hotel. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed. You can walk to town and all of the sites of Dornoch in minutes. The beautiful beach is a short walk away as well. And golf, it’s right out the front door. We would highly recommend

Lovely, comfortable hotel

It’s a lovely hotel - all the rooms are large and didn’t feel at all crowded, even in the bar which was quite busy in the evenings. Bedroom was very large and comfortable, with a nice en-suite shower room. A very good breakfast was provided with lots of choice. My only negative is that it is pretty expensive - although we stayed as a ‘treat’ at the end of a touring holiday in the Highlands and it was very nice! 😃

Town was lovely. Hotel is a golf course right on huge beach. Service was fantastic. Room had great view of course and water. Only negative was our room had a traditional “double bed”. So we felt cramped sleeping at night. Room could hold a larger one. So hoping they upgrade for future guests. Enjoy our stay immensely.

The room picture Expedia shows in the reservation and in this review is complete misrepresentation of the room we were provided; significantly smaller, appearance of furnishings dated, cramped sitting area and no bay window. I don’t know if the hotel is responsible or Expedia for this picture being used, but it is a bait and switch. They can easily show pictures of a variety of room choices/accomodations.
