@cntraveler

"Links House, in Dornoch, an hour north of Inverness, is set around a 19th-century manse, a five-star hotel with 15 elegant rooms decked out in tasteful tweeds, as well as a highly rated gastronomic restaurant and wine cellar. The rooms are split between three adjoining Sutherland sandstone buildings, with five bedrooms in the original 1840s manse and 10 more in the new buildings either side. There are hip and cool antler-base benches and colorful William Morris-style curtains, as well as paintings of Highland cows and kilted mountain men adorning the walls. Even better, Links House is just 50 feet from the first tee of the Royal Dornoch Golf Club, which regularly features in guides to the world’s best links courses. If golf doesn’t rock your boat don’t worry—there are countless walks and drives to be had, as well as tours of Dunrobin Castle and, of course, whisky tastings in the library or lounge. Add to that Dornoch’s Blue Flag beach just 10 minute's walk away, and you’ve pretty much got the lot."
