    The price of the room with breakfast was quite expensive compared to other hotels we stayed in while touring for the same room type with breakfast.

    There was a nice ambience in the hotel bar. The room was nice & very spacious.

    Eagle Hotel in Dornoch - a good place to stay

    Only one smallish quibble: our room was over part of the hotel where there was some kind of machinery humming all night - possibly cooling equipment? Funnily enough it was less noisy in the en suite so it's probably not apparent in other rooms. We slept (beds great) but occasionally woke to the hum

    This is a really nice place to stay in a beautiful small town on the coast. Family run and busy with a comfortable bar and restaurant where you can get decent food most of the day. Our room was good with very comfortable beds and an en suite shower room. Breakfast in the morning was substantial - we had the full Scottish to fuel us through a day of cycling but there are lighter options. The staff who we met were friendly and helpful. The place is well run . We would thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay

    The walls are very thin and the people in the room next to us came in at midnight and talked loudly until 2am so I got very little sleep. Quite expensive for the standard of the room.

    Great location and a nice pub atmosphere. Staff were friendly and the breakfast options were good. Generous amount of tea and coffee in the room.

    Nothing that can be changed but the view across the neighbouring gardens was “rustic”.

    Friendly staff and a relaxed environment. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the food was exceptionally good. I had the best chicken korma ever.

    Not a lot. It is a “country” type pub that has very good rooms.

    A lovely hotel in Dornoch with a very “pub” like feel and great staff. We had a really great stay there.

    We were in a room above the bar so could hear the noise from it however this did not go on for very long and we otherwise had a very peaceful sleep!

    Property centrally located with town centre, beach and golf club all within walking distance. The 2 main streets have a lovely variety of shops to browse in. There is no dedicated car park but we found parking on the main street in front of the hotel very easy. The checking was quick and easy and the staff very welcoming. The room was a good size and very comfortable. There is a good bar/ restaurant where we were able to book a table for dinner where you had all the usual pub grub options. Breakfast is served in a separate breakfast area and was again very good.

    Reception is dated and stairs were awkward and twisted. Difficult to get up and down with suitcases. Probably ok for younger travellers but not really suited to people with mobility issues.

    Good breakfast provided

    No off street parking, but it didn't matter as there were places to park near by. No fruit or yogurt offered for breakfast.

    Great atmosphere. Busy Friday night bar used by locals. Friendly and efficient staff. Rooms recently refurbished, bathrooms fresh and spotlessly clean. Good value for money that suited our budget and requirements. Would stay at the Eagle again, if we return to the lovely town of Dornoch.

    We stayed in room 4 above the bat restaurant which was noisy till closing time then cleaning at 7am with the hoover. It wouldn’t change my opinion that the hotel was amazing and I’d stay again

    Great room, facilities were fab! Big bath towels were amazing, so often you stay at hotel and get small towels! Breakfast was lovely, great choice, staff couldn’t be more helpful, nothing was a problem.
