Dornoch Station Hotel, now part of the Marine & Lawn brand owned by US-based investor Adventurous Journeys (AJ) Capital Partners who bought the hotel last year, has completed its extensive renovation and has relaunched under a new name ‘Dornoch Station’, giving a nod to the original name, the ‘Station Hotel dating back to 1902.
Now featuring 89 spacious guest rooms and all new public spaces, the grounds are also home to a new putting green and the hotel also has a new restaurant and a new bar.
Led by AJ Capital’s in-house interior design team and inspired by the Scottish Highlands, hunting cabins, and lodges around Loch Ness, the lobby houses existing wood panelling as the design aimed to restore and celebrate the original design features.
Bar Ross, named after Dornoch native Donald Ross, the famous golf course architect, features natural colours with green tiles celebrating the golf lawn, and 
Royal Dornoch Golf Club tartan adorns the walls surrounding a snooker table. Bar Ross offers classic cocktails and a wide selection of whiskies, wines, and beers as well as Scottish bar snacks.
Championing seasonal ingredients and local suppliers, The Golden Gorse restaurant which takes its name from the local Sutherland gorse plant, is offering a seasonal, all day a-la-carte menu, afternoon tea and Sunday Roast menu.
Seaside themes can also be found across the hotel, with shell-shaped lighting installations and wood-carved lighthouse-shaped tables in the bedrooms.
The hotel joins its Marine and Lawn portfolio whose growing portfolio of Scottish properties includes Rusacks St Andrews, Marine North Berwick, and Marine Troon.
