fine dIning at the vaUlt

Dornoch Castle’s private dining space, The Vault, is set in the 15th-century cellar of the castle, offering a unique fine dining experience. The five-course menu is created with fresh local ingredients by the expert kitchen team, with influences of Dornoch Distillery running throughout.

If whisky is more your thing, arrange a private whisky-tasting session where knowledgeable bar staff will take you through the traditional production process that takes place on the grounds of the castle as you enjoy a wee dram or two.

thiNgs to do at dOrnoch

While you could spend your entire stay exploring the castle itself, there’s also plenty to do in the surrounding area. Take a fresh coastal walk to Dornoch Point to spot wildlife and take in the stunning views up the Dornoch Firth, or visit the famous Royal Dornoch golf club and walk in the footsteps of golfers dating back to the 16th century. 

However you choose to spend your days, you know you’ll have a beautiful room at a luxury castle hotel to return to for a good night’s sleep.
