Words from our Guests

“Just home for a lovely meal at the castle. Had the steak which was melt in the mouth. Chips & veg were piping hot and delicious. Staff very friendly and attentive – one waitress in particular very friendly and nothing was a hassle. Would recommend and visit again if I return to Dornoch”
