2 Quail, Scottish Highlands

This friendly B&B is a homely hideout in the Scottish highlands, just 10 minutes’ walk from Dornoch beach. It’s renowned for excellent home-cooked breakfasts, but did the rooms and service impress our inspectors on their visit?

How we inspect hotels

Unlike all other national UK travel magazines and newspaper travel sections, Which? Travel never accepts freebies.

All of our hotel inspections take place anonymously. We book in to a standard double room online, just as you would, and we sample the hotel’s facilities, just as you would. We never let on that we are from Which?

That means no special treatment, no reviewer upgrades and no opportunity for the hotel to influence our verdict.

And no matter how badly the hotel fares, we will always publish the review, warts and all.

We do this, so you can make the most of your breaks, and avoid staying in places like the Royal Albion.
