The Links House is a very special Inn in the Scottish Highlands. The rooms are elegantly decorated and very comfortable. The food in the Mara restaurant was excellent. Dornoch is a historic town in the area and is a short walk from Links House. The first tee of Royal Dornoch Golf Club is only a few steps away. Lastly, the staff is very friendly and customer oriented.
