Links House at Royal Dornoch

Very comfortable with some fine touches

This is one of those special places that is worth the trek. Once you step foot into the front door it feels as if you’ve stepped back into a different time. The finishes are all rich and appropriate and the town itself is adorable. Service is outstanding, bed was delicious and would go out of my way to stay here again!! True luxe on a small scale! A bit difficult to find which bldg to check in so ask for clear directions prior to check in.

Our stay was ruined due to our awful experience at dinner, so not much.

Dinner. We ate in the restaurant. It was awful. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary. They stuck us in the back room away from other guests. I ordered the steak, medium rare. It came rare, grey in colour (as not seared properly) and bleeding all over the plate. I returned it and it came back still rare. They didn't bother to replace my side dishes which became cold and inedible. I gave up by this time and sent everything back as I had lost my appetite due to all the problems. The matre-de / manager never once came to our table to apologize. Then she decided to take the optional service charge off the bill and only charge me half for the full 3 course set money. I therefore ended up paying nearly 60 pounds just for a starter!! I complained again and she took another 25 pounds off the bill. A proper facility would not have charged me anything. The whole matter completely ruined our stay. Also, they are building a new golf club house in front of the hotel so views are poor.
