Our hotel on the NC500

A golfing adventure awaits you at our hotel in Dornoch. Located just a few yards from the first tee of the legendary Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Welcome to golfing heaven! Join us to play by the sea on the legendary links.

Step out of the hotel and down to Dornoch Beach. Meander along golden shorelines and feel the sand beneath your toes and cool western wind on your face. Breathe in the fresh sea air and coconut-scented gorse and listen to the sound of waves crashing as you reset yourself to Highland time.

Relax after a day of playing by the sea. We have 22 contemporary guestrooms, many of which overlook the well-trimmed rolling greens of the golf course and out to Dornoch Firth beyond.

We also have 14 luxury apartments that are available on a self-catering or fully catered basis. The perfect option for families, groups or couples looking for long term stays or a comfortable base to explore the surrounding Highlands.
