Embo Escape Holiday home rental near Royal Dornoch Golf Club, Scotland

Welcome to Embo Escape rental holiday accommodation, situated two miles from the Royal Burgh of Dornoch.

Our holiday accommodation in Embo provides a 'getaway from it all' break while the area itself offers a range of activities: golf at the world-famous Royal Dornoch Golf Course (or one of the many in the area), walking in the neighbouring hills and tracks, fishing on secluded lochs, birdwatching at Loch Fleet Nature Reserve and beach combing on the award-winning sandy beaches - to name but a few!
