The Highland Sanctuary is a beautiful coastal retreat set just north of the historic town of Dornoch, less than a ten-minute drive from Royal Dornoch Golf Club, offering golfers and their guests peace, comfort, and an exceptional Highland setting.
Owned and hosted by long-standing members of Royal Dornoch Golf Club, the Sanctuary is well suited to golfers, with hosts who understand the rhythm of the game and the importance of rest and ease between rounds. The hosts are Airbnb Superhosts, recognised for their attentiveness to guests, with the house consistently rated five stars and ranked in the top 10% of homes on Airbnb.
The house has undergone a complete transformation, blending modern comfort with traditional Highland character. Warm, welcoming interiors feature a log fire, Aga, and a thoughtfully curated collection of artworks gathered by the hosts during their travels around the world, adding a personal and distinctive touch.
Set within mature gardens, an elevated patio overlooks the sea, where the sound of waves breaking on the nearby shore can be heard. Embo’s award-winning beach is just a short walk away, with wide golden sands and open coastal views.
The Highland Sanctuary is a private, fully accessible, whole-house stay sleeping up to seven guests, providing a calm and comfortable base from which to enjoy Royal Dornoch and the Scottish Highlands.
“Lovely stay at the Highland Sanctuary. We stayed while on a golf trip — the house is great, in a perfect location and right by the beach. We would definitely stay again.”
For extended family members or additional guests wishing to stay nearby, Highland Sanctuary’s sister property, Cosy Cottage, sleeps up to three guests and is located directly opposite. Together, the two properties can accommodate up to nine guests.
