The Hotel claims to be the number one whisky bar in the world. Certainly the best I have been to. I was given some excellent recommendations for under £10 each, all cask strength single cask and over 23 years old.

Very atmospheric and a great selection of malts, some pretty rare. Reminds me of a wonderful…read moreArmagnac bar in Gascony. Foreign visitors will love this iconic establishment for its gentle background music and woodsmoke from the large open fire.

After calling 7 or 8 places, none of which would be open at 8:30 (after our round at Royal…read moreDornoch), Morangie House could accommodate our group of 7. We were so pleased that they were the place we landed on. They were so friendly, the food was amazing, and they didn't rush us out, even though the kitchen was closing shortly after we arrived. We were staying nearby and sad that we weren't staying there. Our group had the crab cake, king prawns, and smoked salmon starters. For entrees we had the steak, bolognese, venison, burger and steak pie. Then several had the brownie and sticky toffee pudding. I have to say that we'd been having sticky toffee pudding everywhere we've been and this was, by far, the best we've had. I didn't get pictures of the desserts because they were eaten so quickly. Don't hesitate to go here.

If you're staying to play golf in Dornoch, you won't find better accommodations anywhere. The hotel has storage for your clubs in a private locker room, a putting green, and is only a few steps from Royal Dornoch's first tee. This is truly a rare gem that shouldn't be missed.

The rooms are very tastefully decorated - just beautiful. I love the bathroom fittings! Oh, there is one thing that has changed for the worse. You can't have dinner here any more. What a pity. It was as great as the extraordinary breakfast. The Durness region is very remote with spectacular countryside and white beaches.

The Carnegie Lodge Hotel had been recommended by so many people that we just had to go and try it…read more We were staying overnight in Tain so it was an ideal opportunity. My husband and I are a couple of foodies and I must say we weren't disappointed. With a chance to persuse the menu and order while having a drink, it was a great chance to get our tastebuds into gear. We were escorted into the restaurant and seated and our starters came right away it was wonderful. I can talk about the food forever. It is wonderful, the choices great and I got the feeling that a great chef was at work behind the scenes. The meat was moist and wonderful, the sauces out of this world, and at last veg that had a wee bite but wasn't brick hard which seems to be endemic now. We were dressed up for dinner and the food reflected that. It was an indulgent, sexy wonderful experience. Would I go back? How do you think I arrived at this page? I was getting the number to book again. We live in Glasgow, but are going to the Carnegie Lodge Hotel for dinner once a month. Why cos we're worth it!

4.5 Stars for the bar/drinks (we neither ate nor stayed here)…read more The bartenders were both very friendly. Also, they serve real sized drinks here: pouring 35ml of whiskey (unlike so many other places in the UK that pour a paltry 25ml). Also, they not only had a great selection of whiskeys from which to choose, but they also had some recommended whiskey lists which did not disappoint (the Glen Scotia 15 and the Benromach 15 were both big hits with my tastebuds). I am only deducting 1/2 a star for the ambience, because it is nothing special. But, if you want something nice to sip on, and some friendly bartenders to engage with, make your way to Ceilidh Place.

So having taken a family of four to both Ill give you some tips. They are both lovely ways to stay but if you want your kids close and safe while still having a door between you for alone time with your partner stay in the inn. If you plan to make your own meals to save money stay in the bunkhouse. But even if you choose the bunkhouse it's worth paying for a breakfast in the Inn.

Everything was wonderful!…read more My relationship with Royal Marine started months before we got there. When we were told our friends would be getting married in a castle, they found this hotel for all of us to stay at. Since I was told the hotel only had twenty rooms, I thought I should get on it. I emailed them and paid my deposit. When I received a copy of the Bride Guide's schedule of our Scottish Adventure, I had to call/email again to extend our booking. Since our group didn't book the whole hotel, there were still other patrons around... I hope we didn't bother them. When we arrived, we were shown our room. There is no elevator... luckily I had my massively heavy backpack. The large staircase was only two short flights. Our room was a nice size. There was a beautiful armoire, a desk, a sitting area... the bath had a towel warmer. So every morning we had breakfast in a very beautiful dining room with large windows streaming in light... FULL SCOTTISH PLEASE! Some mornings, some of my friends just wanted some of the cold items from the buffet: a couple different juices, cereals, fruits, a cheese plate... there might have been other things, but I'm a late sleeper and more interested in the black pudding with runny yolk eggs running into them. They also had toast, oatmeal... the bride's brother ordered all three fish delicacies. He said it was salty. I thought all the food was good. Usually, I am a toast with peanut butter kind of person... they reignited my love of frosted flakes. The staff is lovely. Really accommodating. Rob was amazing... a hero that saved the day since the wedding planner really fell short. Scott from Dunrobin Castle and Rob working in tandem made the day wonderful. Royal Marine also catered the dinner at the castle and it was lovely. All the food was good... The Beef Wellington with a layer of my summer love- haggis. So yummy. It was also my first encounter with Cranachan. Who knew cream and raspberries with oats could be so good? If you're going to be out past 10pm or 11pm, you have to let the staff know so they can give you a key to be let back in. They do have two night managers, but they could be dealing with other things and not hear you knocking. I don't know where you'd go though. Brora seemed to be a sleepy town. We stayed up late a couple of nights in the foyer rooms. One night, one of the night managers asked if I had phoned them... I thought back to when the bride got mad and called them and had words... I said no, wasn't me. They have pool, but my friend's family walked out to the North Sea instead.
