Top Helmsdale Hotel Reviews

Royal Golf Hotel

Royal Golf Hotel

8/10 Good
"The view from the dining room (across the first tee at Royal Dornoch, and over the Dornoch Firth) is stunning. Food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent, and the staff were very helpful. Our only disappointment was the view from our bedroom, featuring a fire escape and staff walkway. Not important as we were only staying one night, but I will check the room before booking when I return."

"The perfect B&B in the beautiful highland town of Dornoch. The staff really couldnโ€™t do enough for us, the room was very comfortable and spacious, the breakfast was excellent. You couldnโ€™t ask for anything more and I really couldnโ€™t recommend staying here enough, if we are lucky enough to be in Dornoch again Iโ€™d stay here without a second thought."

"The location of this property is lovely but a bit of the beaten track. It does feel like it starting to get a bit tired but also has loads of character. The evening meal was excellent and the breakfast was very good. Did have a wonderful nights sleep."

Links House at Royal Dornoch

Links House at Royal Dornoch

10/10 Excellent
"The Links Hotel is beautiful, well decorated and comfortable. We stayed in the newer building and when we walked into our room my first response was how much I loved the colors. Our room had a view of Royal Dornoch Golf Course. The bed was comfortable, the sitting area very nice and situated to the view. The huge bathroom was spacious and luxurious. We arrived to two little glass bottles of an Auld Fashioned with shortbreadโ€”yummy! There is an espresso machine and tea service outside the rooms on the second floor for all to use, a mini fridge full of cold waters and chocolate bars on the shelf. Breakfast is included and was quite delicious. We highly recommend The Links!"
