With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Tain, 17 miles away, has to offer. Royal Dornoch Golf Club, Dornoch Beach and Dornoch Cathedral alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t skip Brora either! Just 20 miles away, Dunrobin Castle, Clynelish Distillery and Loch Brora are essential stops here.
