Breakfast was great. Staff were really helpful friendly and nice. The setting and house were stunning and the history really interesting. Walking the dog in the grounds was convenient and a beautiful start to the day.

Catriona United Kingdom

What an incredible experience! From the location (a house which foundations date back to the 1200s and which welcomed Bonnie Prince Charlie and his soldiers!) to the loveliest staff, you’re not booking a hotel you’re booking an experience! My friend and I left with our eyes filled with stars. I’ll be back for sure.

Lola France

The rooms are luxurious and very clean. Breakfast was divine and made very enjoyable with the company of an excellent waiter, Kyle, who was good fun and very entertaining. The walled garden was lovely.

Julie United Kingdom

Patrick United Kingdom

The staff, in particular Stephen, absolutely made the experience so special for us. We live in Inverness but had always wanted to stay at Culloden House for the history. All the staff were so friendly, knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for us. The whiskey selection is amazing! and Stephens vast knowledge and willingness to share really helped us enjoy our choices. Our bed was enormous and very comfortable, the bathroom spotless and modern and breakfast was lovely too, great selection and very fresh. Thank you for a lovely experience!
