Difficult to add to the previous comments. If you can get a reservation in this highly rated B&B I gaurantee you won't be disppointed! Isla clearly takes a great deal of pride in "Highfield House", and pulls out all the stops to make guests comfortable. My wife and I stayed for two nights and we certainly felt we got value... More

Difficult to add to the other top rating reviews, as I agree with all of them. We too have stayed at loads of B&Bs, and this is the best. It was actually slghtly more expensive than most others we have used, but the difference was overwhelmingly justified. We were in Dornoch on family business, and Highfield House was the perfect...

It you’re visiting the highlands, this is the place to stay! The house is beautifully furnished and the food is both delicious and well presented, and the hosts, Isla and Hugh, are very welcoming and extremely helpful. The B&B has an excellent location as well, situated just a few minutes walk from the centre of Dornoch. I had a wonderful... More

Highfield House is absolutely first class in every way. I felt more like I was staying in an exclusive boutique hotel than a B&B. Isla and Hugh are gracious and interesting hosts. The breakfast was superb!

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2012

Over the years, I've stayed at a lot of B&Bs, and I generally don't enjoy them much. There seem to be two general classes of B&Bs: poorly-adapted homes owned by grandmothers that barely fit a travelers' needs, or over-priced mini-mansions which feel more like museums than residences. It was much to my surprise to find the Highfield House is in... More

A group of 6 golfers at the Highfield House in July of 2012. We travelled to Dornoch to play Royal Dornoch and stayed at the Highfield House after I read reviews of the place on this website. The establishment is a 5 minute drive from Royal Dornoch GC, and is within walking distance (probably 20 mins at most) of the... More

Highfield House is very nice and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. Everything is well maintained. The breakfast was great and had a good choice. Also the location is good - in walking distance to Dornoch (max. 10 minutes walk) which is a very nice small town. Isla was friendly and helpful also with recommendations of what to see... More

We stayed here last summer, and loved it. The room was beautifully furnished with a wonderfully comfortable bed and very well appointed bathroom. The breakfast was vast and the staff were charming. As B&Bs go it does not get much better.

My husband and I booked an overnight stay in Dornoch to break our drive North to Orkney, and are SO delighted we chose Highfield House as it is in a beautiful location and offers everything (and more) that you could wish for. The rooms are spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished, and Isla made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was delicious... More

We stayed here several nights. Perfectly located on the edge of town, Highfield House is deserving of 5 stars. The beds were so comfortable, the linens crisp, the room spotless, the breakfast fare diverse and fresh, and the evenings very quiet. Thanks Isla! We'll return one day.
