Delicious Dinner Experience

I had an very nice dinner at The Dornie. The batter on the fish was impressively light, reminiscent of tempura, and the chips were absolutely delicious. Their Cullen skink soup, made with plenty of smoked haddock, potato, and cream, was a highlight of my meal. The food felt traditional yet well-prepared, and I left thoroughly satisfied.

My stay in the double room was wonderful. The room was not only clean, but the bed was so comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. The decor was simple, yet inviting, and I felt right at home during my stay. Every detail contributed to a cozy atmosphere that I truly appreciated.

Great Water Pressure

The bathroom in my room was another highlight. The shower had excellent water pressure, providing a refreshing experience after a long day of exploring. Everything was well-maintained and clean, making it a relaxing space to unwind and refresh.
