The castle became a hotel in 1947 and great care has been taken to preserve the historic character of the building. The current owners are only the third since 1947. This property is listed Grade B by Historic Scotland and lies within a conservation area. The Royal Dornoch Championship Golf Course is just a short walk away and being just off the main A9 road and North Coast 500, it is perfect for holidaymakers coming to/from Inverness and the airport.

Strutt and Parker estate agents add: "The accommodation, food and beverage and wedding trade has proved to be a successful mix of business shown by the healthy turnover and profits. There is the further potential to apply to reinstate a planning consent for a bedroom, spa and restaurant extension."
