We stayed at 5 star Dornoch Station on. B & B basis for 1 night. The room was good the receptionist and bar staff were all good. However, the breakfast was horrendous. Totally shambolic, we were served Luke warm coffee from a flask, my wife ordered porridge with honey only, without the accompanying raspberry compote and almonds. After a long wait a full porridge with everything was delivered - which my wife didn’t want and couldn’t eat. I ordered a poached egg on toast which looked good when it finally arrived. First bite I had to spit out onto the plate. Full of egg shell, not just an odd piece, but a mouthful of them. We were offered replacements, which we politely declined and immediately checked out of the hotel to find somewhere else decent to have breakfast. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced this issue - very dissapointing and not acceptable from a so-called 5 star establishment.

Beautifully located with sea views and a gorgeous sandy beach nearby — perfect for family walks. The refurbishment is tasteful and respectful of the hotel’s history. However, service falls short: breakfast is slow and understaffed, and room servicing is inconsistent — used cups left, and tea/toiletries not refreshed. A charming place, but let down by 3-star-level service.
