Ingram House Scotland

A divine Highland hideaway for your chosen few

One of our smaller properties, but perfectly formed, Ingram House is a gorgeous stone-built cottage for up to eight guests, next to Dornoch Cathedral. It’s all relative of course, and with three reception rooms, a stunning kitchen with a quartz-topped central island, and four big bedrooms, Ingram House is plenty big enough for a celebratory getaway for family or friends in the heart of one of Scotland’s most charming seaside towns.

Walk up the garden path and step inside to a welcoming space with period features and contemporary décor which complement one another perfectly. All the front facing rooms also have lovely views of the cathedral. Relax in the snug area, where soothing tones of greys and neutrals help to restore your sense of calm. Or gather in the brightly coloured lounge with the log-burner blazing, after a day exploring Scotland’s unspoilt northeast coast.

The smart open-plan kitchen has all the mod cons you need for cooking up hearty Scottish breakfasts and celebratory dinners, with space at the kitchen island to perch and chat. The sunroom is a verdant oasis with a stylish nod towards the house’s Victorian heyday, and it opens onto a formally laid garden and terrace, where you can gather for cocktails on summer evenings.

The four supremely comfortable double bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, offer peaceful sanctuary after your Scottish adventures. Whether you’re exploring this gorgeous town’s sandstone buildings and medieval architecture - including the cathedral, just a few steps away from the house - or climbing the Highland hills, spotting seals down at the coast or golfing on the historic links of Royal Dornoch Golf Club, Ingram House is the ideal place to stay.
