Top Dornoch Beach Hotel Reviews

Royal Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and cosy. Breakfast was delicious. All staff were pleasant and helpful. We throughly enjoyed our stay."

Courtyard by Marriott Inverness Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Worth the price to be next to the airport"

Delny Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful spot, especially with kids, as the common space has a slide, pirate ship climber, farm animals to see (goats, chickens, ponies) and grass to run on. The glamping cabins were quite clean and "cozy", as you'd expect, but we fit 3 adults and 3 kids in there. We were able to buy some firewood for a cooking fire. Definitely recommended for anyone looking to get a bit of a camping experience. Owners were very friendly as well, and generally available as needed."
