All 21 Dornoch Castle Hotel en-suite bedrooms are tastefully decorated with a strong emphasis on comfort and tranquility but still having that Baronial home atmosphere. There are Deluxe Castle Rooms, Superior Castle Rooms and Garden Rooms, the latter were built in the late 70's and form the easterly wing of the castle. The hotel has undergone some major refurbishment recently and there are many rooms of individual character.

Most bedrooms overlook the formal walled gardens and some have wonderful views of the Dornoch Firth and the hills beyond. There are two with views of Dornoch Cathedral.

Dornoch Castle Hotel offers the traveller an ideal place to relax after a day on the golf course (Royal Dornoch Golf Course being the closest), or a day spent enjoying Europe's last wilderness with the abundance of bird and sea life which frequent this corner of the coast, or just to wind down after a day's travelling with a 'dram' by the fire.

Complementing the castle, miles of golden beaches and tranquil seas, make perfect settings for whale and dolphin watching, while the great lochs are excellent for fishing and there is stalking too. Enthusiasts can take delight in the abundance of bird life: red kites, ospreys, golden eagles, and puffins all frequent this beautiful corner of Scotland.
