This hotel is phenomenal. I don’t say that lightly, I’ve stayed at many unique , great hotels, but Links House is truly above them all. The service, the comfort of the quality bedding and linens, the wonderful breakfast that is offered to all guests to mention a few were exceptional. The location is perfect if you’re interested in golfing Royal Dornoch or visiting a quaint village in the Highlands. I highly recommend this hotel!

10/10 Exceptional

This is one of those special places that is worth the trek. Once you step foot into the front door it feels as if you’ve stepped back into a different time. The finishes are all rich and appropriate and the town itself is adorable. Service is outstanding, bed was delicious and would go out of my way to stay here again!! True luxe on a small scale! A bit difficult to find which bldg to check in so ask for clear directions prior to check in.

Memorable experience
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The Links House is a very special Inn in the Scottish Highlands. The rooms are elegantly decorated and very comfortable. The food in the Mara restaurant was excellent. Dornoch is a historic town in the area and is a short walk from Links House. The first tee of Royal Dornoch Golf Club is only a few steps away. Lastly, the staff is very friendly and customer oriented.

Overnight stopover

Hotel rates normally too expensive for us but due to Hotels.com silver members offer was able to enjoy an amazing overnight stopover. Complementary in room welcome cocktail, shortbread and chocolates, lovely touch. Everything about this accommodation was to the highest of standards including staff. Will always check room availability when making future trips in area.
