The Castle was built in the 13th century as the Bishop’s Palace of St Gilbert, who founded the Cathedral. Owned and run by the Thomson family since 2000, Dornoch Castle Hotel has been carefully refurbished to maintain the historic character of the Castle, and provide comfortable accommodation. Choose from deluxe rooms in the oldest part of the castle, superior rooms in 15th – 17th century sections or the garden rooms.

Dornoch Castle Hotel is the ideal venue for your wedding reception. Begin your day with pampering and relaxation with our local beauty therapists, then step out on the red carpet as you walk the short distance to the Cathedral. Have you photos taken in our walled garden. Let our chef plan your dream menu and then dance the night away before retiring to the honeymoon suite.
