Pros:

The hotel was generally clean and staff friendly however it lacked some of the facilities you would expect at its price point. For example, there was no in room Tea and Coffee making facilities; rather there was a station located in a common landing up 20 stairs from our room. Meaning you had to dress before an early morning cuppa and you were reluctant to have a late night drink for fear of disturbing other guest. Additionally, we were only give a second remote needed to switch on the the TV after having to call reception twice. Breakfast was very good with nice produce freshly made. Unfortunately the same could not be said for the evening meal. The deconstructed Cullen Skink simply didn't work and my wife's main fish dish was cold and had to be sent back. My food was not taken back meaning that we effectively did not eat together. We had booked dinner on the second night of our stay but cancelled because of our first night experience.

Pros:

This hotel is phenomenal. I don’t say that lightly, I’ve stayed at many unique , great hotels, but Links House is truly above them all. The service, the comfort of the quality bedding and linens, the wonderful breakfast that is offered to all guests to mention a few were exceptional. The location is perfect if you’re interested in golfing Royal Dornoch or visiting a quaint village in the Highlands. I highly recommend this hotel!

The best hotel in the Highlands we have stayed in for many years.
Pros:

Staff, room, cleanliness, location, quality of the breakfast

Cons:

We were unable to eat in the hotel restaurant in the evening due to a function being held there. However, the staff of the hotel found as an alternative in the town.

Dornoch è un paesino incantevole
Pros:

La
Struttura è incantevole, al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato un aperitivo in camera, molto ben servito.

Cons:

La colazione poteva essere meglio, non era adeguata alla strutta. La nostra camera era davanti alla cucina e siamo stati un po’ disturbati dal rumore che proveniva dal ristorante.
