"We really felt right at home as soon as we walked through the door. We had everything we needed to cook our meals, close to sites, as well as the most delicious pizza delivered by our host! Highly recommend ordering from them if you stay-and order the Cheeky Scotsman pizza👍 Beautiful ocean view in a quiet town, walking trails along the beach. It was the perfect place for us to explore the east coast! Super comfy bed, very clean accommodations, lovely picnic table and chairs right outside your...

"The property was nice and clean. Parking was easy, right on the property. Located right on the beach and footpath, so the ocean view was nice. The owner supplied all of the usual conveniences in the kitchen and bath. I was concerned about the Alexa device that seemed to be always listening, so we unplugged it. The radiator beside the tele was emitting an electronic signal, but I could not find the actual source. We were unable to operate the heating, so it was a little chillier than we expected....

Royal Golf Hotel

Royal Golf Hotel

8/10 Good
"The view from the dining room (across the first tee at Royal Dornoch, and over the Dornoch Firth) is stunning. Food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent, and the staff were very helpful. Our only disappointment was the view from our bedroom, featuring a fire escape and staff walkway. Not important as we were only staying one night, but I will check the room before booking when I return."
