Cooking in the Highlands: Life in the Kitchen at Grannie’s Holiday Park

Are you a Chef looking for a fresh start from the city grind? If you’re tired of dull views from your kitchen window, we’ve got something that’ll really get your creative juices flowing.

At Grannie’s Heilan’ Hame Holiday Park in Embo, Dornoch, we aren't just offering a job, we’re offering a total change of pace. If you’re looking for a career with a little more sizzle (and a lot more scenery), this could be the recipe for your perfect next move.

Location, Location, Location!

Forget the traffic. Grannie’s is nestled right on the shores of the Dornoch Firth, boasting some of the most incredible beach views in the Scottish Highlands.

Imagine finishing a busy lunch shift and stepping out for a 10-minute stroll to clear your head. Or spending your days off exploring local castles, waterfalls, and wildlife parks. It’s a quiet, relaxed pace of life that lets you enjoy your downtime. 

Whether you’re into world-class golf, hiking, or just a peaceful coastal breeze, Dornoch is a hidden gem that feels like a permanent holiday.

If that’s not enough to convince you, we’ve already written about 5 reasons why Grannie’s is the place to work. 

That’s not all, however! 

We’re investing £1 million in 2026 to bring brand new accommodation to our stunning park in Sutherland, just in time for the Easter holidays. This exciting development will add 21 new caravans to the park, with 7 available for holidaymakers and 14 available to purchase as holiday homes. 

With this expansion, the park will grow to 435 accommodation pitches, giving even more guests the chance to enjoy everything Grannie’s Heilan’ Hame has to offer!

This follows last year’s million-pound investment, which introduced fantastic new facilities, including:

• Children’s play area
• Adventure golf
•  Arcade & arts and crafts den
•  Multi-sports court
• New food and drink outlets like Joe’s American Grill, Scoops, and The Fish & Chippery

Grannie’s Heilan’ Hame employs over 100 team members during peak season, and you could be one of them! This investment is part of our wider plan to invest £50 million in 2026 to enhance facilities, expand pitches, and create even better holiday experiences across the UK. Keep your eyes peeled for more information!
