What JohnA likes about Dornoch Castle:
Central easy to find hotel. Pleasant staff , room satisfactory but light in bathroom dull ,no coffee sachets in room . Meal reasonable value and food tasted good , wine and beer good . Very noisy dining room , with little ambience . Wooden rooms or sheds spoiled the garden look . View all feedback. What KennethN doesn't like about Dornoch Castle:
Corniche Castle! Expected great things and was sadly disappointed. The thin ribeye steak reminded me of Ponderosa (an average fast food steakhouse in the US). The venison burger was decent and had a good taste. The experience was fine but didn’t live up to expectations. View all feedback.

The service was terrible, and dinner took significantly longer than expected (and we were not on any timeline or in a hurry). Not sure if they are short staffed...
