Immediately adjacent to the 1st tee of the Royal Dornoch Golf Club lives a charming five-star boutique hotel names the Links House.
The Links House is home to fifteen individually designed, characterful bedrooms with views across the Royal Dornoch links, that dreams are made of. Each room, quirkily named after a Highland Salmon, contains the finest antiques, artwork, and fabrics ensuring the ultimate luxurious stay which will be unforgettable. Rooms are available as Deluxe, Luxury, Bespoke Apartments, and Exclusive use.
Housed in the historic Manse House are five Deluxe bedrooms. The Manse House was originally built in 1843 and was fully refurbished in 2013. There are views of the private putting green, Royal Dornoch and beyond.
There are eight luxury suites located in the Georgian Style Mews which opened in 2013. These rooms again boast views of the putting green, Royal Dornoch and Dornoch Firth beyond. They are traditionally styled, with expansive seating areas, writing desks and spacious ensuite bathrooms.
On the penthouse level are the bespoke apartments with majestic views as far as the Kyle of Sutherland. They feature a separate open plan spacious lounge, expansive walk-in closets with bespoke built-in chests. All bedrooms benefit from exclusive Hypnos beds, the finest Italian five-point bed linen, spectacular views, ensuite bathrooms with heated floors and towel rails and complimentary Penhaligon toiletries.
For dinner, you can choose from the a la carte menu with Head Chef Javi Santo’s seasonal larder allowing his imagination to run wild. Whether its Dornoch mussels, game from Binary Bridge or one of Javi’s fabulous tasting menus, you cannot fail to be impressed and wowed by the creativity and flavors on offer. Born in Barcelona, Javi has been a prodigy of the Roux stable having worked at Rocpool Reserve, Greywalls, Inverlochy Castle and the Michelin starred La Gavroche; what more is there to say, you are in for some experience.
A vast wine cellar with aged varieties from both the Continent, the USA and around the Rest of the World, is available to compliment your meal fully.
After dinner it is time to retreat to the library to relax beside the roaring fire and enjoy a single malt carefully selected for you by the team of experts at the Links House, what could be more perfect?
As well as Royal Dornoch right on your doorstep, you also are spoilt for choice with Brora, Carnegie Golf Links, Castle Stuart, Tain Golf Club, Golspie Golf Club, Nairn Golf Club, and Could Links only a stone’s throw away.
