(You can go and see this amazing scene for yourself every day at low tide). The Kitchen is open plan to both the Dining Room and the Sun Room.- The Sun Room. This area, just off the Kitchen/Dining room, is a peaceful, well-lit place to sit and read a paper – or just to join in with the chat from the kitchen.
Dining Room. This room has a wooden farmhouse table which can seat 8-10 for long, holiday dinners, as well as a window seat for enjoying the afternoon sunshine. There is a Bluetooth speaker on the breakfast bar for your use. Sunken into the wall is our “House Honesty Bar” which we keep stocked with some local whiskies for your enjoyment.

Guest Reviews
“The house is picture perfect, and so tastefully decorated … just a few minutes walk to the town …”
“We had an amazing week at The Meadows. The house is picture perfect, and so tastefully decorated and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped as well. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk to the town of Dornoch and a ten minute walk to the Royal Dornoch golf club. Victoria, the house manager, was so helpful, giving us tips about where to shop and local restaurants. We loved our stay and will be back for sure. 5 stars!”
” … easy walking distance of the town, restaurants and the Royal Dornoch golf club. … exceptional attention to detail.”
“I stayed at The Meadows Accomodation in early July 2024 with three fellow golfers. The house is quaint, beautifully presented, spacious and well appointed. It has four ensuite bedrooms, a nice open plan kitchen and dining area, a laundry and a very comfortable lounge/TV room. Ginny went to great lengths to make sure the house was perfect for our arrival, even buying my favourite coffee pods. The location is exception, about a wedge from the main street and within easy walking distance of the town, restaurants and the Royal Dornoch golf club. Luigi, our favourite restaurant of our two week Scotland trip, is only 50 metres away. A highlight of our stay was our in-house ‘Nae Bother’ dinner, a superb seafood three course meal prepared by the lovely Victoria. The quality of the house, the location and the exceptional attention to detail by Ginny and Victoria make this a must stay private residence if you are visiting Dornoch. I hope to be back and cannot recommend The Meadows highly enough. It easily justifies a five star rating”
