Dornoch Castle Hotel

Bar meals, garden restaurant and exclusive dining in the Vault


About Dornoch Castle Hotel

Whether you want that special candle-lit dinner in the Garden Restaurant which overlooks the formal walled gardens, or a more informal meal in comfortable surroundings in front of the roaring log fire in the 11ft fireplace which was formerly the Bishop’s kitchen in the 1500s there is an excellent choice of dishes. This room has been transformed into a comfortable bar and reception and features 15th century stone walls.

Outdoor dining is available in the garden and under the stretch tent during the summer months.

For a private dining experience, we now offer the Vault.

Pre-booking is recommended for Afternoon Tea. On sunny days the garden is a sociable hive of activity with customers enjoying an open-air dining experience on the lawns.

Dogs are welcome in the walled garden.

Dornoch Castle has an excellent reputation amongst the local populace and visitors alike and is now recognised as one of the premier dining venues of the north and has retained Rosette status for the past 6 years.
