About this property
Burnside Retreat is a modern and comfortable three-bedroom property at the heart of the historic town of Dornoch.
This fully furnished accommodation offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, sleeping up to six guests, along with two bathrooms, including one en-suite. Burnside Retreat offers a comfortable and welcoming base for families, golfers, and groups seeking to enjoy Dornoch year-round.
North Coast Holiday Homes is not located on site, however, we are more than happy to help if you have any questions.
Nestled within the enchanting town of Dornoch, Burnside Retreat is surrounded by rich history and breathtaking landscapes. Dornoch beckons you to immerse yourself in serenity, creating an ideal setting for those seeking a genuine Scottish adventure.
For golf lovers, staying at Burnside Retreat will mean that you are only a 2-minute walk from the comfort of your bed to the first tee at the Royal Dornoch. The Royal Dornoch is known for its Championship Course which offers a magnificent challenge featuring stunning coastal vistas; however, the lesser-known Struie Course is also a must-play throughout your stay. Playing a round of golf here not only hones your skills but also provides a chance to embrace the natural splendour that defines Dornoch.
A mere 10-minute drive from Burnside Retreat lies the iconic Glenmorangie Distillery. Whisky enthusiasts can revel in fascinating tastings, savouring the unique flavours of this globally acclaimed Scottish spirit.
Burnside Retreat’s prime town centre location serves as an excellent base for exploring the local shops. From distinctive boutiques to traditional Scottish craft stores, guests can indulge in a delightful shopping experience, discovering treasures that reflect the town's cultural vibrancy.
Beyond the picturesque streets, Dornoch also has a wide range of culinary offerings. Guests can explore the varied flavours of the Highlands, enjoying traditional Scottish dishes at local restaurants that highlight the region's fresh ingredients and artistry. Not only will you be enjoying great local food, but the Highlands are known for their friendly locals who will offer you the best customer service around.
Whether it's enjoying whisky tastings at Glenmorangie, honing your golf skills at Royal Dornoch, exploring local shops, or relishing the flavours of Scottish cuisine, Burnside Retreat stands as the perfect sanctuary in Dornoch. It not only provides convenient access to these attractions but also offers relaxation, allowing guests to unwind in comfort after a day of discovering the finest that Dornoch has to offer.
Burnside Retreat is located at the centre of Dornoch making it the ideal place for someone to stay if using the public bus or private hire taxis upon arrival or departure, as the Stagecoach bus stops is no more than a 2 minute walk from the front door. The property is also very well lit at night due to the surrounding street lights.
Burnside Retreat does have parking available for approximately 4 vehicles, depending on size, with additional on-street parking available in the surrounding area.
At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, fully kitted out with everything guests need for home-cooked meals. Whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast or a relaxed evening dinner, the kitchen offers ample space and equipment, while the dining area comfortably seats up to eight guests — ideal for entertaining friends or welcoming family members to join you.
The lounge is a warm and inviting space designed for unwinding after a day out exploring the area or enjoying a round of golf. With generous seating, a Smart TV with access to all your favourite streaming channels, and a cosy log burner, it’s the perfect spot for relaxed evenings in and an especially welcome feature during winter stays.
Upstairs, the property offers three generously sized bedrooms, all finished to a high standard and providing plenty of space for a comfortable stay. The master bedroom features a double bed and a private en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is fitted with a double bed, while the third bedroom offers both a double bed and a single bed, making it ideal for families or flexible sleeping arrangements. All bedrooms are also equipped with their own TVs for added comfort and convenience.
Outside, guests can enjoy a large garden area along with ample parking spaces, making arrivals and departures easy and stress-free. With its modern finish, generous outdoor space, and unbeatable location just moments from the golf course, Burnside Retreat offers a welcoming and practical base for enjoying everything Dornoch and the surrounding Highlands have to offer, at any time of year.
When travelling to Burnside Retreat, we recommend planning your transport in advance or ensuring you have access to a car where possible.
While Uber has recently started operating in the area, availability can be limited, and wait times may be longer than in larger towns. Public transport options include local bus services (Stagecoach or Ember) and occasional private hire taxi companies.
Dornoch does not have a ScotRail train station; the nearest railway station is located in Tain.
