Translating in Gaelic to 'pebbly place', Dornoch is a delightful seaside resort in the North of Scotland. It is a beautiful town with so much to see and do and it is a place full of history and culture. Dornoch is home to the 13th-century Dornoch Cathedral and directly opposite the cathedral is Dornoch Castle which is now a hotel making it the perfect place to stop off and stay awhile. Dornoch has a golf course that has been voted the fifth best outside of the US so is well worth a visit. No visit to Dornoch is complete without a visit to Dornoch beach situated on the beautiful Dornoch Firth and with its miles of golden sands is a great place for beach walks and activities. Aside from the beauty and history, Dornoch has a great range of shops, galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants to discover and is the perfect place for picking up gifts to take home to loved ones.

The little gifts of water and biscuits went down well. This is also the first time our lovely four legged lady was also well provided for, very thoughtful.

The ensuite shower hot water pressure was poor. The property needs portable towel rails as they don't dry in the ensuite, we used the back of the dining table chairs. A bigger mat at the door would be advisable, although we took our shoes off at the door they were bringing in pine needles.

The description doesnât mention that there is a good size ensuite in the double bedroom, plus a separate bathroom. The lounge/diner/kitchen is spacious. The dining table would easily seat 6 people. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user with a 17â manual chair and was delighted to be able to move around the whole chalet with ease. You may find a small threshold ramp useful to aid entry via the double patio doors. Our dog was immediately relaxed there, and there are so many walks in all directions. Thank you to Lauren and Gary for sharing your lovely space
