Great location and customer service. Staying in an old castle has its draw backs ( no elevator with room on 4th floor) , smaller rooms but well worth the experience. Food was good with a nice selection. The bar is a fantastic scotch bar with very comfortable seating and a**osphere with a great fireplace. Staff was superb and can tell they are trained well and enjoy their job. Enjoyed our stay here very much and will be back agin(. 3rd time here)

Lovely old castle turned hotel. The rooms were comfortable and had nice touches like robes and slippers. The whiskey room was very cozy and the food in the restaurant met all our needs. The employees there were friendly and helpful, we had an issue with locking the door to one of our rooms and they helped resolve this instantly. I would definitely go back.

We were really looking forward to staying at the Castle Hotel, the most expensive we booked on our trip. Our room was ok, but needed some tlc, a few stains on the carpet, tear in the duvet cover and one of the easy chairs lacked any stuffing! Dinner choice was very limited, fish and chips disappointing although the fish special was good. Breakfast buffet was fine but lacked many hot options. Coffee was excellent. Worst of all was the fire alarm at 1am apparently caused by a spider, so an awful sleep.

Visited the castle bar and restaurant many times when visiting as the staff and food are amazing. First time staying and I must say first class service from staff. Room and a**osphere were fantastic. Whisky bar is sublime what choices, staff and locals were excellent at helping me pick different malts most of closed distillery’s. Also great to walk along the road and visit the distillery and the fantastic staff at Thompson Bros shop were they had a few bottles open to try.

A lovely hotel. A fab room with massive bed overlooking the rear garden. A £2,50 breakfast is ridiculous. We had a full continetal and bacon eggs etc. plus tea and coffee. A nice friendly bar and staff. A good location in the town right across the road from the cathedral.

Spent Easter at the beautiful Dornoch Castle. Staff were attentive as soon as we arrived. Were shown around the Castle and then to our double room which was lovely and clean. Bed very comfortable. Restaurant staff were friendly. Continental breakfast was lovely. Selection of croissants, breads, meats, salmon, fruit, cheeses and cereals. Also bacon and eggs. Fruit juices and teas and coffees. Lunch and evening meals were great and reasonable prices. Whisky bar had a varied selection of whiskies. And bar staff very knowledgeable. Bar also had wines, spirits and beers. Staff could not do enough to help. Nothing was too much trouble. We are going to book another stay this year.

We stayed on Saturday 23rd March and had a brilliant time. Every staff member we met were friendly and efficient, from reception to restaurant. We had a great room (old courtroom) and ten restaurant served very good food. The Whisky bar is great with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent in terms of choice. Great location and very cosy.

Our friends were visiting us on the Black Isle for New Year. We stopped in for coffee at the Dornoch Castle Hotel after a bracing walk on Dornoch beach on New Year’s day. We a fabulous seat beside a roaring fire and had coffee with the most delicious homemade shortbread. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They have an amazing collection of rare whisky which the barman was happy to tell us about. Definitely worth a visit.

We spent a night at the hotel on our NC500 trip and had a great stay in the tower room. It was very spacious with nice views of the cathedral. There was a huge four poster bed, large bathroom and comfy chairs beside the massive fireplace. The turret loo was a bit of a squeeze but part of the character of the place. The wee dram of whiskey was a nice welcoming touch!
