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.

For those who love brevity; Avoid this place…read more For the rest of you; There must've been a problem with paying the electricity bill because the place was not adequately heated and it was zero degrees outside. The decor was tired and dingy. Dust was accumulating on the light fittings. Ramsay would've said 'What the f=+*'. The service was hesitant. We had to wait a considerable time to be noticed; when eventually we were noticed there was a somewhat grumpy girl took our order served us. A more cheery girl served There were only two tables with guests, a worrying sign on a Thursday night. On the positive side the food came quickly, was warm and the portions handsome. The wine was mediocre but no 'by the glass' option on the very sparse wine menu. The price was low which might explain a lot. Perhaps you should avoid this one and opt for the far better Morangie Hotel.

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!
