Dornoch Castle Hotel

All work and no play is no fun.

Find your fun with today’s Big Deal on a Highland getaway to the cosy and romantic Dornoch Castle Hotel.

Highland hotel with a story

A scenic hour-long drive from Inverness, the family-owned Dornoch Castle Hotel can trace its earliest roots back to a 13th century bishop’s palace.

Back in the day, its views across the Dornoch Firth to the purple hills of Ross and Cromarty made it a strategic military garrison.

These days, the same views, combined with 21st century creature comforts, mean that Dornoch Castle Hotel is a much sought after tourist destination.

Highland heritage

Available seven days a week, today’s Big Deal is for two people to stay in one of the hotel’s Garden Rooms.

Overlooking the walled gardens, these bright and sunny rooms are part of the modern garden wing and are all ensuite with a shower or bath and shower. All have twin or superking beds.

This offer includes gin truffles and a welcome drink served in the bar on arrival. Choose between a single malt whisky or a gin or whisky cocktail.

A full cooked breakfast is part of the Deal and you will be able to linger over your breakfast as the offer includes late check-out to noon.

There is a £20 per night supplement for Friday and Saturday stays.

Scottish produce

If you choose to take other meals in either the candle-lit Garden Restaurant or in front of the open fire in the more informal whisky bar, then you can look forward to the finest Scottish produce.

Golspie haddock, West Coast mussels and Highland venison are the sort of ingredients that make regular appearances on the menu.

Guests will enjoy a £10 discount on food when spending £50 or more.

The bar also has a very special range of malt whiskies – perfect for the whisky fan who wants to explore this iconic Scottish spirit.

Plenty to see and do

Set in the beautiful town of Dornoch and situated directly opposite the inspiring 12th century Dornoch Cathedral, the hotel is ideally located for hill walking, fishing, distillery visits and, of course, golf.

The famous Royal Dornoch Championship Golf Course is only a stone’s throw from the Castle.

Happy guests

Previous visitors have loved their time at Dornoch Castle Hotel. These edited excerpts were left by recent visitors on TripAdvisor:

‘Really splendid place to stay… Our room was very good – small, but very adequate and full of character – very comfortable with excellent bathroom facilities… For whisky drinkers, this is heaven. Never seen so many brands in our life – and some of them unbelievably priced… Breakfast was excellent – cooked to order – much better than a buffet – ten out of ten for that. Would not hesitate to stay here again.’

‘Fantastic weekend trip away… couldn’t fault a thing! Room spacious and tidy, bar staff friendly, waitresses attentive, food great! Was washed down with various whiskies recommended by staff (very knowledgeable about them too). A great visit, will definitely come back.’

Today’s Big Deal at Dornoch Castle Hotel would be ideal for a relaxing break – ideal in the hectic run-up to Christmas.
