Stopped for lunch on the way back from the Hebrides. Excellent, old fashioned service, we felt very spoiled and valued as customers. Delicious food and wonderful ambience. The building and grounds are from a time gone by. The history of the building is all around, on the paintings on the walls. A real Downton experience and value for money. We cannot recommend this gem highly enough and we will make it a fixture on our calendar for future holidays. Thank you.

Afternoon tea was just outstanding, particularly as we could choose individual preferences for sandwiches. Scones were warm and light with clotted cream and homemade jam. Cakes absolutely delicious. The level of attentive service throughout was as good as I have encountered anywhere.

Unforgettable stay in this surprising hotel for the quality of the welcome, the humor of the owner, the park and the magical magical journey in the rhododendron forest

What a great place to stay. The best part was the service which makes everything else special. The duty managers who I learnt have been working there for 19 seasons were so attentive and friendly and brilliant at their jobs. Dinner was also amazing again I believe the chef has been there for a while and it reflects in the beautiful food. All the wait staff as well were amazing and so polite. All boutique hotels and general hotels should learn something from this place in how to run a hotel. Oh yes and also close to the beautiful Rogie falls which you can walk to from the hotel.

Very nice house with a fantastic garden. Very good location in the middle of picturesque nature. Food is mostly regional, very tasty and artfully served. Staff above average friendly, very accommodating and competent. We saw several houses on our tour of Scotland, but we remember this one as being particularly welcoming and nice.

We stayed for one night and had a lovely experience. Our room was spacious, with beautiful views overlooking the gardens at the back of the hotel. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, allowing us to enjoy a great night’s sleep. There was plenty of wardrobe space to hang our clothes, and the bathroom was well equipped with a generously sized shower and a separate bath. We dined in the hotel restaurant, and the meal was delicious. There was an excellent selection of dishes with great flavours. I also appreciated the staff’s recommendation of a local gin, which was a lovely touch. After dinner, we enjoyed a quick stroll through the gardens, which provided the perfect way to wind down before heading back to our room. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Breakfast the next morning was equally delightful, with a good variety of options. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel in a charming location, and I’d love to return for another visit.

This charming hotel is delightful in every way and so very comfortable. The rich interior historical decorations are fascinating as are the incredible grounds; so many different trees and plants to see! And let’s not forget the rabbits and horses! Early mornings on the back patio are truly magical! I was only here for two days and during that time, I felt truly at home. The staff are truly special. My only regret was that I wasn’t able to stay longer in this special place.

Exceptionally warm experience An absolute pleasure of a guest house. The rooms are beautifully appointed with great attention to detail, from the lighting and comfortable bedding, carpets and custom drapes to the handsome bath with plush towels, and good water pressure. Everything was spotless and tastefully done all through-out the house. The setting is tranquil and beautifully maintained, lush with trees and flowers of all sorts, giving every window a lovely view. One of the many things we appreciated about Coul House were the various public spaces you could enjoy - the big, beautiful dining room; the cozy bar; a little snug with just enough tables and seating for a quiet game of cards or a private chat; the conversation circle by the fireplace in the foyer, a frequent place where families would gather. We never had dinner at Coul House (we typically have a large lunch), but we did enjoy more than one soup and sandwich in the bar during the evening. Breakfast was always delicious and made fresh-to-order, served in the handsome dining room, with it’s beautifully set tables and big windows overlooking the garden. In a case of perhaps saving the best for last, the exceptional service and friendliness of the hosts and staff cannot be overstated. Everyone, to a person, was professional, kind and personable. Many of the employees have been with Coul House for years, they truly work as a team, and such longevity speaks well of the owners. Without hesitation, we HIGHLY recommend Coul House.

I’ve stayed here with my wife on 3 different occasions. Twice in Nov 2022 and recently in Apr 2024. That we’ve been back thrice says something. Rooms are lovely and cosy. The water pressure is excellent. We had garden view rooms during our stays and it’s nice to see wildlife like rabbits hope around the lawn in the morning. Above all, the hospitality was fantastic and faultless. Special shout out to Chris for his exceptional service and for making my wife and I feel so welcomed. Dining there is also highly recommended. We had all our dinners and drinks at the hotel because it was just too good!

What an amazing place. Service polished to a mirror shine from start to finish. Stayed here with our dog in one of the cosy downstairs rooms. The food was truly excellent, a menu full of creative takes on classic dishes and a bar with delicious cocktails for before dinner and an impressive tome of a whisky list for afterwards! Old fashioned in the best possible sense of the word - all the little things got absolutely right. We enjoyed a warm and friendly welcome from when we walked in the door to when we left in the morning which felt all too soon. We will be back!

Booked for lunch, a first time visit for us. A very imposing Georgian house (1821) reached via a long driveway (in good condition) and set in beautiful grounds. Large carparking area near the entrance with easy access. Beautifully decorated through out with a literally warm welcome in reception with a roaring fire in a Jacobean fireplace. The main dining room is elegant and well lit in the daytime with a very large south facing bay window. The service was excellent with the co-owner (Stuart) taking a personal interest in his guests. The menu is in transition to a new one so it was a bit different to the on-line version. A sensibly sized menu with a good range of choice and some imaginative creations. The courses arrived in good time and were beautifully plated. Portions were spot-on for us. The food was excellent. While the main dining room would be for special occasions for us, there is also a sandwich option and a spacious and comfortable bar.

Hidden away in an idyllic location this Historic Victorian Mansion has been sympathetically updated. It has a specific market in mind and succeeds in achieving it.

We had a great lunch. A sophisticated and very good menu. Lots of thought has gone into the design and delivery of the experience, and it works a treat. Food was top notch, plenty of variety and a clever and capable chef is clearly in charge. Pricing is fair for the quality, ingredients are local/regional where possible and this really makes the menu feel quite special. Excellent wine list with an abundance of choices; this again has been very well thought through, something for every palate and pricing is sensible. Highly recommended.

Had a very pleasant dinner here with my family. The atmosphere was super cosy with soft music and a roaring log fire. The staff were kind, attentive and unobtrusive. I am a coeliac and needed gluten free food. This was no problem and most of the menu could be adapted to make it suitable, I was even given freshly made gluten free bread which was delicious! At no point was I made to feel like my dietary needs were an inconvenience and it made things so enjoyable to not feel left out because there were numerous options for every course. This is more of a fine dining place but it’s worth every penny for the quality of the food, the ambiance and the dedication of the waiting stafff. Couldn’t recommend it more highly 😊

We’ve visited here a few times now and each time we leave having thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The Hotel is set in a stunning location and at this time of year, the grounds are absolutely stunning. Since the weather was so good during our stay, we actually managed to sit out on the terrace outside the bar, enjoying the sunshine. The staff are all very attentive and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. You definitely get they feel that nothing is too much hassle. They also contribute to the hotel’s very relaxed and chilled out atmosphere. I’d highly recommend you stay to eat, the food is brilliant. We’ve eaten here a few times now and never leave disappointed. Food is tasty, well proportioned and there is plenty of choice on the menu. We enjoy Coul House Hotel so much we’ve booked our wedding here for later in the year. Highly recommend, hard to beat.

Set inside the wonderful Could House Hotel (think Bridgerton) this restaurant is very good. We have eaten here twice and all the dishes we had were very tasty. Service is absolutely excellent. For me it just misses out on five stars as it just doesn't quite pull off fine dining. But I would certainly have no problems coming back again.

Blown away by the beautiful building after a drive up through the forest edged road, opened the front door to a lovely roaring log fire at reception and a warm welcome from the gentleman on duty. Sat down on the chairs beside the fire and menus and drinks in our hands in minutes and felt at home at once, not ill at ease because of the grand establishment just a genuine Highland hospitality warmth in the building which has a beautiful ambience and reflects the staff. After looking at the menu our order was taken and the food was in a different league the like I haven't tasted in years, in fact started to realise how good food could be, it was heaven in every bite just perfection, we could not fault anything at all. We were celebrating our sons 21st Birthday and thanks to this beautiful Hotel and staff, it will be a thing not only he but us all as a family will treasure for a long time, a fantastic end to a wonderful day celebrating his Birthday. Treat yourself you will not be disappointed and experience real Highland Hospitality at its finest.

Sat in front of the fire in the hallway and within ten minutes with a Kumeu River SB served. Food was really excellent - Ballottine Rabbit to Venison Loin to Petit Fours.

I had already reviewed lunch here, but we went for Valentines dinner on Friday night. Not disappointed! The service is first class. We were seated in the lounge with our drinks, and were given olives and a bombay mix. We were also given the menu here and once we ordered had time to relax with our drinks before being taken through to the restaurant. The choice of food was excellent and all served with a smile from all the staff. The ambience was so lovely with the tables dressed in white table covers, lovely linen napkins, and one red rose with a beautiful candle on the the table. A log fire was burning too and a chandelier on the ceiling sparkled with small lights attache d going into each corner of the ceiling. Very nice. I had the marinated King Prawns and Hubby the brown onion soup. Both were delicious. My main course was the catch of today which was Salmon en Croute with lentils, asparagus and broccoli . Hubby had the roast duck again with same veg but potatoes. Will definitely be back again.

We have visited the restaurant twice. The service is superb, the menu choice is excellent, the wine list is extensive—and only slightly overpriced, but the food is priced reasonably. Give yourself time to arrive a little earlier to enjoy the bar.The hotel, which houses the restaurant, is not as grand as the restaurant, I am afraid. It feels more like an upscale B&B, having stayed there for a couple of nights, see my other review. However, the restaurant is top-notch.

I recently was tasked with babysitting a friends 3 kids plus my own son. Wanting to take them out for a wee adventure that would keep all ages happy, I decided the fairy walk at coul house hotel would be good. The boys absolutely loved it. So much work and effort has gone into it and the boys were constantly in awe of their surrounding. We were starving afterwards we had already been in to look at the menu and visit the toilets before the walk and the gentleman who greeted us was extremely friendly and welcoming. So we decided to go in for some food. 3 bowls of chips,a sandwich and a hogie later, we were all re-fuelled and ready to go home. The staff are all very friendly, professional and informative (I overheard another male member of staff giving 2 guests information on a local walk). Would love to come back for an afternoon tea with some friends

è a pochi minuti a Strathpeffer ed è una bella casa di campagna all'interno di un bel parco. si parcheggia davanti all'ingresso. L'interno è adeguato allo stile della casa ed è molto piacevole, accogliente. ci siamo accomodati in sala bar e abbiamo scelto i piatti che desideravamo per cena e anche il vino. si va in sala quando è tutto praticamente pronto. Il bar è ben fornito e il barman, che si rivelerà tutto fare, è molto gentile ed è il migliore di tutto lo staff. Abbiamo mangiato una zuppa di funghi, buona, e il filetto di manzo tenero e gustoso. Il vino Malbec argentino era giusto. I camerieri giovani devono un po'...maturare visto l'ambiente in cui lavorano.

We have visited here before with our friends and once again struck gold with our recent experience at Coul House 21/8/19. We live at Drumnadrochit and look forward to visiting this outstanding restaurant. The greeting by front of house staff is always warm and welcoming as well as highly professional. The food is "divine" with a menu to suit all tastes. Every course from start to finish is beautifully presented - you eat with your eyes! - and this place does not disappoint. Each course was served by lovely staff who were more than helpful.On this occassion although I was very, very tempted by the fantastic range of desserts I asked if they had any fresh strawberries & raspberries per chance since I am watching my calories!!! The restaurant manager was only too happy to oblige, no if or buts here but excellent professional service unlike some other establishments where it can be the too hard to do box. Thankyou all once again - we had a lovely evening - a credit to the area and Scottish cuisine.

Middag og dessert var flott tilrettelagt og smakte kjempebra. Sønnen vår på 10 år gav tommel opp på kjøtt middag Historien til stedet var spennende.

Reluctant to write a poor review but hope that it might help others. The reviews on here are very mixed. We did not stay but had an evening meal in the main dining room. The menu was the sort of thing that is found in many average Scottish hotels - not inspiring and the presentation was quite old-fashioned. I found the overall experience disappointing but heard afterwards the owners were away so perhaps that had something to do with it. To be honest, I am surprised this hotel is in the Good Hotel Guide as it is not in the same class as others included. Sorry.

We visited with friends night (12/11/18) as they used to live at Contin and have eaten here many times before - it is their fav place. I can definately see why. On my first visit here I can honestly say this is the best meal out all year. We were warmly greeted on arrival and shown into a cosy lounge with log fire. After choosing our courses we were shown into a lovely dining room this time by a very polite helpful young man. Our courses arrived and each course was freshly cooked, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I had the hummus fritters, steak course (the steak melted in your mouth) and then the passion fruit/lemon grass panacotta dessert with ginger biscuits Every single past of the meal was superb and we also asked for extra bread too - not because the portions were small but simply because it was delicious and def homemade. It was a lovely meal, great ambiance and all the staff we encountered personable and professional. Thank you for a great evening - we will def be returning from our home in Drumnadrochit.

This review is as a restaurant. We did not stay the night. We were the birthday lady, her sons, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. We had drinks at the bar by the open hearth fire. We studied the menu, clarified a few fine points from the menu and ordered. Then we were invited to go to our table. We had starters, mains and desserts. The dishes varied from satisfactory to excellent.The duck and the lamb were particularly good.

We stumbled across the Coul House on the way back from a rather soggy morning walk and were looking for a place to eat. It was already the back of 2pm and we thought the place looked far too smart to accommodate our muddy boots & paws. We went in anyway to ask if they could sit us and were received with a very warm welcome. We eat from the sandwich and soup menu in the lounge. This house is so beautiful and cozy, they had open fires roaring in the entrance hall and in the bar. All about the food was delicious, tasty red pepper and orzo soup, hock-ham and lentil soup, homemade bread, great tasting mature cheddar cheese, fab steak, onion and mushroom sandwich, all very tasty, even the shortcakes and fudge that accompany the tea. The service was very friendly and so accommodating. We would love to come back for proper diner, clean and properly dressed this time, although we were never made to feel that it was a necessity. Also would like to walk around the grounds and find the fairies.

A pre- dinner dram in the cosy bar offers an extensive choice of whiskies and highland hospitality to set the mood. The dinner menu is excellent and the service and food in the lovely restaurant is delicious whatever dish you choose. Round off your evening with a coffee beside the imposing log fire, a special malt whisky and a piece of shortbread.

If you do not have reservations for dinner, they start you in the bar with a drink and you order your food there. When your table is ready, they seat you and your food comes soon after. Food was very good. The staff are attentive and quick to bring what you ask for. Very professional.

We visited here for tea and cake while visiting friends in the area. We were a party of 4 adults and 4 children. The staff were friendly but the service was slow. We recieved luke-warm tea after a long wait and then eventually 45 minutes after ordering and chasing up our scones they arrived. We did receive a complimentary tea and coffee refill but the scones were overdone and dry and so after the wait with 4 children we left disappointed!

Nádherné místo. Skvělé jídlo. Výborná obsluha. Není to úplně levné, ale rozhodně jsme nelitovali. Byli jsme vážně maximálně spokojeni.

This restaurant is very special. It is set in a wonderful room with tremendous views over the hotels gardens. The service from the staff is first class, they are efficient and very accommodating. The food is excellent and the dining is relaxing and a delight. The breakfasts are also delightful with wonderful choices. Would I come again? Most definitely.

Wir kamen spät am Abend aus Ullapool zurück. Nach Ullapool gab es weder ein Restaurant noch einen Pub an der Strecke. Wir erinnerten uns an die Auflistung von Restaurants, die wir im B&B; erhalten hatten.

Hadden iets te vieren toen we hier aten. Er was voor ons gereserveerd. Echt iets bijzonders als je hier dineert. Eerst iets drinken in een aparte ruimte voor je naar je tafel wordt gebracht. Perfecte ambiance en een ruime keuze van een zeer goede kwaliteit. Een restaurant op stand tegen redelijke prijzen.

Two nights, two breakfasts and two dinners, all of excellent standard. I had the calves liver with red onion marmalade, very tender and cooked to perfection. There is always a catch of the day, ours was monkfish coated in chorizo flavoured panko crumbs , delicious. Efficient service, just fast enough but not too fast, hate being rushed in restaurants. I did see a couple of high teas, they looked good, if you like that sort of thing.

I can’t recommend Coul House highly enough. We have stayed here for the past 10 days. The hotel and grounds are lovely, the staff can’t do enough for you and the food is something very special. Overall it has been a most enjoyable experience. This is an excellent place to visit.

Very good food and friendly, excellent, service in a slightly starchy atmosphere. Good value considering the quality and complexity of the dishes. One star off maximum because the dining room could seriously do with some new chairs (or, at least, the seats of the chairs...

The food was so good we dined in on all 4 nights. The menu was limited but with a choice for all tastes. A comprehensive wine list and selection of drinks. A great range of whisky and gins among other things. Good value for money....

An absolute gem of a find, just off the wonkey bridge over the river Ness. Check out their app for online orders as they do some stunning foods (sandwiches and homemade lunches). Absolutely worth a visit!!!!!

For an alfresco 'fika' in the late Autumn sunshine, we had coffee and their last pieces of cake. Brilliant wee place.

Das Restaurant ist ein verstecktes, auf den ersten Blick ziemlich unscheinbares Juwel. Ohne einen Hinweis aus dem World Wide Web wären wir sicher nicht darauf gekommen, dass man hier einkehren sollte, wenn man sich in der Umgebung von Tain/Schottland befindet. Im Restaurant hängt an der Wand eine Urkunde: der INVER INN ist bei einem Wettbewerb um die beste Küche der Highlands immerhin bis in die Finalrunde vorgedrungen. Ich hatte einen Fish Pie, der sensationell lecker schmeckte.

If only there were more cafes like this is around other remote parts of Scotland. Wonderful food, fantastic service and a nice vibe.
