Wedding & Holiday
Combined 2 Days in Dornoch Castle Hotel with 5 Days at Cottage in Tain after the wedding. The cottage has been modernised but still has some original features. It is spacious, comfortable & well equipped with everything you could possibly need. If you enjoy baking, utensils are all there, including a Food Mixer. The garden is private & was an added bonus as we enjoyed great weather. The shower room was a good size, great shower, Both bedrooms were large with comfortable beds. Cottage was tastefully decorated throughout by the owner, with beautiful blackout blinds in the bedrooms she made herself. We particularly liked the personal items belonging to her grandmother which she thoughtfully incorporated into the cottage when decorating. The sympathetic decor gave the cottage a modern feel, whilst retaining it’s soul. For us, a warm homely feeling inside. A very much loved home !!! Local shops, cafes etc are two minutes walk & Tesco 5 minutes by car. Cottage is very well situated to tour the area. Nicola, the caretaker is extremely helpful & on hand should you need her. Highly Recommend & hopefully return for longer next time.
