“Delightful luxury hotel set on one of Scotland's most picturesque links golf courses. Rooms have a distinctly Scottish feel with tweed headboards and tartan patterned quilts. The fine dining restaurant serves an ever changing menu of locally sourced delights and an extensive range of wines. ”

Hotel review

Right next door to the Royal Dornoch Golf Course, Links House is ideally positioned for golf lovers, but this 180 year old manse house is much more than just a golfing destination. It’s also a luxury highlands resort, with a fine dining restaurant MARA, cosy bar, and a sandy beach just steps away. The hotel consists of three buildings, where bedrooms, suites and apartments house tartan clad furniture, luxury bathrooms, and manor house décor. Wood panelling, art and antiques, and original fireplaces, make each room and apartment feel like a home. An hour’s drive from Inverness, Links House offers the use of fishing tackle, bikes, and a tour of the gardens where produce is grown especially for the restaurant’s menu. All that’s missing is a spa, but with views like these and the sea lapping the shore just beyond the golf course, relaxation arrives naturally.

"After a windswept walk on the beach at Royal Dornoch, one of the prettiest spots on the north-east coast, sink into a bespoke tweed sofa by the roaring fire in the wood-panelled library of this elegant manse with a warming dram."
