    Wallace House is absolutely charming. It is spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable. The owner lives locally and sent us a message to make sure all was well on arrival, which was much appreciated. Treats for humans and dogs gratefully received! We couldn't recommend Wallace House highly enough for a really relaxing get-away. Dornoch has good amenities for its compact size: try Luigi's for wonderful Italian coffee and great seafood, and The Castle Bar and Restaurant for its lovely historic interest, sunny beer garden, and excellent pizzas. The beach at Dornoch is gorgeous, wide white sands that run for miles - this is a haven for dog-lovers.
