Gruinard Island Scuba Diving Vacations

Nice clean hotel, and well maintained grounds, but a bit unimaginative with breakfast options. Not much beyond the fry-up options. Being an old building it was also a bit noisy with squeaky floorboards and creaky stairs.

Very tired old property. When they showed us the room it first reminded me of one of the servant quarters in a recent historic house tour. We booked a classic double. The room was damp, full of dusty furniture and the bed mattress springs were gone. There was a tiny window with a view to nothing. We lasted 10 mins and left. The manager gave us lots of options, one being the same room type and the other being the front door with just an apology and no refund offered. First time I ever left a property because of the condition but it was our final night in Scotland and I wanted somewhere special. This wasn’t it. It’s 2 star accommodation for 4 star prices. Didn’t stay to rate the food but the living room and dining decor seriously needs a makeover for 2026. It’s not 1926!

great property walking distance to shops and restaurants. great views

Very spacious nice 2 bedroom in a great location. They even thought about parking which was included and walking distance at the local mall. Only warning is no elevator (unless we missed it the entire time) which could prove challenging for some people. We were ok but 2 large 50lbs suitcases for the family up and down were not expected and may not be for everyone.

The hotel is very pretty and well situated in town right on the river. Our rooms were as described however; the ventilation in the room was insufficient. We visited in July and even with the fan on, windows open, the room was very warm and stuffy. We ordered drinks at the bar and service was rather slow (even while the bar was not full of patrons). Service at the front desk and around the property were otherwise very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic stay. The staff was warm and welcoming and even upgraded room.The restaurant and their breakfast were great and right next to Royal Dornoch golf course. Perfect 😊
