The Hotel

Nestled in a historic corner of the Scottish Highlands, Dornoch Hotel overlooks Royal Dornoch Golf Course and is bordered by pristine beaches and walking areas. Situated within easy reach of the historic town of Dornoch, home to the 13th-century Dornoch Cathedral and Dunrobin Castle, the hotel serves as a convenient spot for exploring the Scottish Highlands and the region’s unspoilt coastline. The bedrooms feature en suite facilities, TVs, hairdryers, telephones and tea- and coffee-making facilities. The two on-site restaurants offer a place to fill up after a day of sightseeing, while the wood-panelled bar and sun lounge are a good place to relax and enjoy a drink or two.

Groupon’s Guide To The Scottish Highlands

Guests may go rambling around lakes and hillsides or trek the known routes in the Beinn Eighe nature reserve, near Kinlochewe. Walking aside, many fishing areas and golf courses are dotted around the area for more conventional activities.

Visitors may explore the great outdoors, taking to Loch Linnhe with a boat ride out to Seil Island for a nature-spotting trip. They may keep eyes peeled for herons and seals, with the odd porpoise known to sometimes make an appearance. Travellers may head north towards Fort William and find throat-warming ventures in the Ben Nevis Distillery at Lochybridge. Further afield, potentially snowy peaks can be sought on Glencoe Mountain, and visitors may even enjoy a whizz on the ski slopes.
