A 500-year-old converted Scottish castle, this hotel is set in the center of Durnoch, opposite a 13th-century cathedral. It features period features throughout the property, as well as fine dining and quiet walled gardens. Bright rooms all have a TV, tea/coffee and a private bathroom, while some also include a seating area and a four-poster bed.
