Culloden House in Highland

I really wanted this to be great but in the end I just did not sleep well. The bed was very uncomfortable, and pillows were horrible square foam. The hotel is amazing, and I am sure it costs a lot to keep such a beautiful hotel but when 8 hours of the day is spent sleeping (the whole point of a hotel I think) I is missing some key elements. Outside of town so getting to other food is a bit of a task. The food was good but was missing something that just left be short of amazed. Second night we went to down and had a great meal.

Wonderful hotel in a manor house. The staff is friendly and works hard to please you. The food is excellent, wonderful dishes using local ingredients.

We only dined here but the overall experience was lovely. A grand old property, we were warmly welcomed with a drink in the lounge. The food was very nice and we finished our evening in the whiskey room. Well worth a visit if in the area.

The food was good but not just small portions but tiny portions. We were the only people in the dining room, but we made our own ambiance. The set menu for 2 courses was only £24.95. I would rather have paid more for decent sized meal. Afternoon tea much better value

Excellent expérience from the champagne reception to dinner to room! Delightful staff in all areas. Room amazing and clean. Dinner was terrific, wonderful quality. Wish we could spend more than one night, but alas, we are leaving for home tomorrow. Do NOT hesitate to stay/eat here!!!

Being a fan of the Outlander Television and book series, my wife immediately booked this hotel on our trip to Scotland. It is an impressive estate. The drive-in is things that are, frankly on television shows. Wide grounds striking views of the main house. And little secrets to be found around many corners. As an old manor house it has so much character and personality. And dedicated the front parlor to a bar/seating area which is perfect as you overlook the grounds. They have a wonderful restaurant that is open for breakfast as well as dinner, which we highly recommend. The rooms are large, comfortable with some modern amenities but still have an old manor house feel. The staff is friendly and accommodating and can help you plan your trips to the local area. Even if you just come by for a tea or a cup of coffee. It’s worth a visit.

Superb place, with all the charm of a traditional Scottish hotel. Friendly staff. We had a pleasant stay. The hotel rental is great for visiting the surrounding area.

Wonderful, nice location. Service and food excellent. Loved everything the hotel.

I don’t always leave reviews for hotels. I’m not a complainer and most hotels are adequate enough for me to enjoy my stay. But… we spent a few days at Culloden House this past week. This is an old manor type house, please keep that in mind. It is NOT a modern hotel. But that IS its charm and my son and I LOVED staying here. Culloden House’s hospitality was the best that I’ve experienced. (And I work in the service industry in the U.S.). Everyone in their staff was kind, lovely and extremely helpful. My son and I were blown away. He said to me several times, “everyone here is so nice.” Coming from New York this is a big deal! While the entire staff was amazing, I do feel I have to specifically point out, Kyle… he touched our hearts in ways that no other hotel staffman ever has. Culloden House’s biggest asset IS Kyle. We still talk about Kyle. He’s a gem of the Highlands. We hope Culloden House is good to Kyle and keeps him around. I cried when he left him. It was the only time in all this vacation that I cried when we left. For the rest of my life, I’ll think about Kyle, when I think about my trip to the Highlands. And Culloden House is a place I WILL come back to next year just to see Kyle again. Please do yourself a favor and book this accommodation , just to meet Kyle. You won’t be disappointed. Everything else is great too. ❤️

Historic home located in the relaxing Scottish countryside, the rooms and all environments are elegant, furnished with attention to the smallest details and very comfortable. The cuisine is very refined and delicious. Very professional and super super friendly staff.

We stayed here on our honeymoon 40 years ago, thrilled to be back. Excellent service, warm welcome, superb rooms, fabulous tranquil setting. We've only had a bar snack so far, but if that's an indication of the quality of the food, it will be every bit as good as we remember.

After visiting the battlefield this morning, my husband and I had lunch at the hotel today. I’d seen photos of Culloden House but the reality was even more beautiful. The dining room is the very definition of understated elegance; a crystal chandelier, polished wood and crisp, white napery. The service was excellent, the staff were wonderful and the meal was the best we’ve had in our two-and-a-half weeks in Scotland. We had the three-course set menu and our soup, main courses and desserts were perfect. After lunch, we had a delightful wander around the hotel’s walled garden which, on this beautiful sunny day, was a lovely way to finish off our lunch before our drive back to Inverness. Thanks for a great experience.

We loved our stay at the Culloden House Hotel. When you enter the doors the hospitality starts. They are so personable and accommodating. It’s such a charming place with so much character. The rooms were amazing. I got my best night sleep here out of all the hotels we stayed at during our trip to Scotland. The staff were so lovely to us. Food and drinks were amazing and the walled garden and neighboring highland cows an added bonus! I give it 4 stars for location only because it’s a little ways to the city itself but nothing a quick taxi ride (arranged by the friendly staff) can’t fix. Definitely would stay here again!

Very nice stay, slight problem with our room allocation which they sorted instantly and without fuss. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent as were all the staff, especially the food and beverage manager who offered advice on their massive range of whisky’s

Culloden House was our introduction to Scottish hospitality after flying into Inverness. It's a short drive from the airport, about half way before Inverness itself, and shares its name with the nearby battlefield that was the site of the last pitched battle on GB soil. I had seen pics of Culloden House, but suspected the reality might not be so grand, or that the manor house might be tired, or that we would be stuck in a more modern annex. But if anything, the host exceeded my expectations. Driving up to it I was almost afraid to go through the gates, thinking it was too grand an entrance for tourists. The staff were really excellent and seemed to enjoy their work. Breakfast was amazing, in a huge dining room. We didn't try dinner. The room was a lucky upgrade for us to a suite, which was HUGE and had the softest bed I remember in a long time. Luxury! It really felt like we were staying at a county manor house as honored guests. The walled garden is also massive and lovingly cared for. It was spring and we had cherry blossoms and daffodils everywhere. Well worth half an hour. 15 minute drive into Inverness itself. Probably not somewhere you can get by public transport.

The staff is really kid friendly especially the man that greets you, he is very friendly and fun.

Outstanding hotel in Inverness. Beautiful hotel with rich history. Staff 5 star and currently doing renovations. Only regret is I’ll be on west coast for trip in April. Will visit again soon.

A group of us chose Culloden House for our annual pre Christmas lunch. We arrived and enjoyed a drink in the bar before we were seated. The food looked incredible and tasted even better. We had excellent service from Kyle & Hazel in the restaurant. Would highly recommend this beautiful place for families or a group of friends looking for a pre Christmas meet up.

An excellent value for money set lunch. A lovely choice of delicious food with very attentive staff.we were allowed an after lunch walk round the beautiful walled garden.

One of the best travel experiences of my life! Culloden House was an experience into itself. We had a king size bed, which was super comfy, and the room was well appointed. The lounge area was wonderful to recoup after hiking the battlefield or a night cap after dinner. George will entertain you with historic stories...or it could have been me asking so many questions. Ha! The story of the house age is truly fascinating. Ask him about the origins of Drambuie. That's a great tale! Def do dinner though (reservations req). The experience of the hotel was off the charts, but the food took it to a whole new level. My hubs and I really enjoy high-quality, thoughtful courses. The variety and array was outstanding and was one of the best meals of my life! Very nice wine list also. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted as a friend. As you leave, you'll feel like family. We will be back. 💗

Lovely hotel on gorgeous grounds! Make sure you take a walk through the walled garden. Ask for the key. We had a spacious front bedroom the third floor. Out of 12 nights in Scotland it was the only hotel that offered to carry our bags upstairs (thankfully)! George and Kyle were outstanding. They were there when we retired for the night and there first thing in the morning when we arrived for breakfast. Service was impeccable. My only regret is that we missed Diana Gabaldon’s (Outlander author) visit just a few days later!

We celebrated my daughter's 25th birthday with an afternoon tea at the Culloden House. From the initial organization, to the tea-experience itself and the payment afterwards, we were more than satisfied. All special requests (vegetarian, lactose- and gluten-free) could be taken into account and we did not have the impression that the selection became poorer for those of us, who have these issues. Furthermore, we had a delightful fireplace room to ourselves, including a chessboard with historical figures. We were able to spend an awesome afternoon there, without having the feeling of someone hurrying us. At the End, when we paid, we had also an informative conversation regarding the history and the secrets of the house. From our point of view: Highly recommended!

The staff was kind and accommodating and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The rooms were lovely and the location was quiet and private while still being close enough to see the sites. The food was excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely place to come...food is superb.. plenty to eat...delicious fresh baked..prepared..plenty tea coffee on supply. Very relaxing no rush to finish..worth the money...support a local business that has trrated its staff well during this difficult time for hospitality. Thank you again all staff

Excellent dining, particularly if you are staying at the hotel. Started with a very nice amuse bouche, followed by perfectly seared scallops. As a main, went with the lamb. Beautifully presented, cooked to the appropriate temperature. The highlight, though, was probably the server. Just the right combination of efficiency and cattiness, made the meal even more enjoyable.

My oh my, I was pleasantly surprised by the scrumptious and eloquent serving of the afternoon tea. The treats and cakes as well as the sandwiches were completely delicious. I have a sweet tooth so indeed any cravings were quickly quelled by the sweet cakes. Lovely afternoon and definitely will be back. Thanks to all staff involved for making my visit a day to remember.

I'm so in love with their sweets! I'd get back here again when I get back to visit. It's just to die for and my sweet tooth is ecstatic.

Only here as we had been gifted a voucher for afternoon tea. This is an old and historic building but was always thought to be a bit upmarket with the prices they charge. However, our treat was pretty run of the mill - the usual obligatory sandwiches, scones with cream and jam followed by some sweet treats. Nothing to write home about - have had better in other establishments and costing less.

My husband and I stayed one night at Culloden House and dined at the restaurant and we were not disappointment. One of the best meals we have ever had. The service friendly and professional, presentation out of this world. The bagpipes are played at 7pm to pipe diners into dinner which was a very special added touch and just added to our dining experience and stay in Scotland. I would highly recommend dining at Culloden House.

The restaurant at Culloden House offered expertly prepared food served with gracious hospitality in an elegant room. The dinner menu offered many choices of fish, steak, lamb, and vegetable accompaniments. The deserts were heavenly, and the wine and whiskey lists were extensive. We also enjoyed breakfast each morning of our stay. There were many choices and everything we tasted was delicious.

The staff were very attentive. The room where we sat was cold and not very inviting. The sandwiches were very disappointing and boring. White bread with cream cheese! They must have run out of smoked salmon! Not as posh as I had hoped for or expected from an establishment like Culloden House!

Wonderful food, interesting menu and great service. We ate our breakfasts and dinners here and enjoyed a drink in the private bar before dinner.

Very generous breakfast . Personal service and a nice staff good for vegan also if you notice in advance

Justo lo que usted podría esperar en una antigua casa de campo convertida en una posada, cálida y confortable.El amable personal nos recibió al llegar, llevó nuestro equipaje a la habitación y estacionó el auto para nosotros.No es necesario iniciar sesión ni presentar una tarjeta de crédito, ya que se puede hacer en el momento de la salida.El bar ofrece más variedades de whisky de lo que jamás podría imaginar.Tuvimos una excelente cena en el hotel y llevamos nuestro postre al salón para disfrutar de nuestras bebidas después de la cena.Nuestra habitación era grande, bien equipada con grandes ventanales con vistas a un prado.Una buena opción en lugar de estar en el centro de la ciudad, que se encuentra a solo diez minutos en automóvil.

Leí algunas críticas negativas de este lugar y me decepcionó ver que esa gente tuvo un tiempo tan perturbador. Reservé una sorpresa, un evento tranquilo de té de la tarde para mi media naranja y fue inolvidable. Recorrer la casa, ver los muebles antiguos que datan de la década de 1700, incluso las pinturas y las paredes originales que quedan dentro de la nueva estructura fue genial. Y todo esto antes del té.El terreno solo tiene una historia que debe ser admirada. Y las opciones de comida no estaban limitadas de ninguna manera. Para algunos quejarse de la falta de música de fondo, vamos. . . ¿Esa es tu razón para 2 estrellas? Aquellos de nosotros que estuvimos allí nos encantó el hecho de que es pacífico, donde los susurros llenaban el aire y no la música que ahoga una conversación. Usted quiere un salón de baile, ir a una pelota real o mascarada.Culloden House fue una excelente visita, y seguramente volveré a visitarla. Para cualquiera que vaya a un nuevo lugar, investigue adecuadamente y no asuma lo que puede haber allí.

Qué decepción, fue un gran hotel tan impresionante cuando llegas en coche, pero eso es todo.

The dining room experience at historic Culloden House is one of life's pleasures. The service and cuisine, together with the ambience of the setting, add to a memorable stay at Culloden House. The bill may be on the expensive side but worth every penny.

Worth a night in Inverness to stay at Culloden House! Fabulous in every respect and not stuffy in hospitality.

We had two very good dinner's during our stay. The service is exceptional. Very good dessert the kiwi sorbet

My partner and I had a lovely afternoon tea whilst holidaying in the area. we accidentally arrived nearly an hour early but it was no problem and we were seated straight away in a beautiful room. Unlimited tea and plenty of food were provided, I had a gluten free option whcih was lovely and I didn't feel as if I'd missed out at all. We sat for quite a long time after finishing whilst drinking tea and we were never rushed to move on. Our waiter was very attentive and I would definitely go again!

Special dining room with candlelight and table cloths strikes an image. Food was just average and service a bit light making for long night. But it was unique if looking for a different dining experience.

Wir waren Gäste im sehr guten Hotel und haben an 3 Abenden hier auch gegessen. Leider war die Speisekarte an allen Abenden ident, auch die Suppe des Tages war immer die gleiche, und es gab kaum vegetarische Optionen, die uns zugesagt hätten.

Great food and really interesting. Small menu, but always found great food to eat. The dining room is beautiful. High ceilings with lots of trim and elements. Service is about as good as it gets!

Culloden House still offers the best dinner in the Inverness area. Excellent food, super service, nice athmosphere and good wine list - and not as expensive as many people believe.

Memorable, excellent food. The atmosphere is elegant and historic. Service was top notch. Every need was anticipated and immediately taken care of. Steak was tender and flavorful. Dessert a coconut bar, similar to a macaroon with ice cream was wonderful.

Dining at the Culloden House is a memorable experience. The setting, service, and food are top notch. We were served drinks in the parlor, enjoying the comfortable seating and beautiful room. My favorite starter dish is the Heritage Tomato Salad. It contains several types of to,autos, red, green, yellow and small. Each seems to have been prepared differently to bring a bouquet of flavors to the dish. The scallops and lamb were prepared nicely. We also enjoyed the creativity of the desserts.

I loved our table, looking out onto the wonderful drive. I felt like the mistress of the manor. The food was good, but I was a bit surprised when I asked what cut of meat a “canon” of lamb was, only to have our waitress explain that she didn’t know because she was a vegetarian. She didn’t offer to ask the chef or send over a carnivorous waiter. Still, the food was good, the garden was lovely, and our room was spectacular.

Wir haben außerhalb des Hotels geparkt und den Weg durch das Tor und den Garten als schöne Einstimmung genutzt. Die Teatime war sehr lecker und entspannend in einem wunderschönen Kaminzimmer - ein stimmiges Gesamtpaket.

One of the best hotels we have stayed at in recent years. Professional service from start to finish - comfortable room with luxury ensuite. Excellent dinner with very good choice of wines. Breakfast cooked to order. Free Parking and WiFi. Would definitely recommend.

March 2017. We had two full Scottish breakfasts and one dinner here. The dining room service is impeccable and the food was delicious!

Lovely relaxed afternoon with attentive staff. A lovely choice of edible fancies. Sandwiches, scones, cream and jam, meringues, macaroons and chocolate treats. Teapot always replenished.

Fuimos a almorzar a la Casa de Culloden durante nuestra luna de miel. De la A a la Z el expericience fue más allá de nuestras expectativas.

Very attentive and professional service from booking dinner through to paying. Lovely venue and lovely menu. Food was cooked perfectly.

We were not disappointed, this was a very elegant nice meal. We had champagne, Scotch, coffee and of course food..

Have just been for the presence Christmas lunch which was absolutely faultless. Must come back again

Very good meal with very attentive service. There is a good wine selection as well. Definitely upscale dining.

We enjoyed two dinners during our 2-day stay, both were excellent. Salmon was superbly done, beef delicious. Nice wine selection.

Fuimos a la comida de tres platos y fue fabuloso. Comida y bebida increíble en un fantástico entorno país. El personal muy agradable y disfrutamos de la maña con Kyle. Sin duda regresaría de nuevo en el futuro.

Pasamos una noche muy agradable aquí. Los precios significa que era un lujo, pero la comida era en general vale la pena. Específicamente el plato de polenta disfrutamos. También nos gustó nuestra bebidas antes de la cena en un muy elegante y confortable, a priori....

Cada plato en cada una de las tres cenas que tuvimos en el Culloden House era excelente y bien presentada. Una gran creatividad y sabores que representan la zona.

La comida es insípida, aburridas y muy caro, con un menú que es aburrido y se remonta a los años 70. No tienen idea de cómo servir un Gin & Tonic, y ciertamente no hay oportunidad de un fresco o de cacahuate sin preguntar y esperar hasta que usted esté listo para sentarse como "su entrantes están listos ahora"! Y sin duda nada tan elegante como una oliva! No os molestéis en el chef para huevos duros para el desayuno! Incluso algo tan simple como una tostada es una lucha!

Personal: personal muy atento y agradable. La gente de la cocina están claramente trabajando muy duro para producir alimentos de alta calidad. Sin embargo, una de las mujeres jóvenes en las mesas esperando continuamente sus nudillos, fisura en un comedor muy tranquilo era algo desagradable. Aparte de eso, el personal es amable.

I did not stay at the hotel but made sure to have afternoon tea in the drawing room. It's a classic "British" experience. The food was delicious and properly served with a silver tea pot & cutlery, and a multi-tiered tray of sandwiches & sweets. Great way to unwind after a day of doing touristy stuff. Walk the ground of the house to get the full experience, especially if you are a fan of "Outlander". There is a bench in the gardens dedicated to Diane Gabaldon by "The Ladies of Lallybroch".

We were booked into Culloden House for lunch and had a fabulous time. We had drinks served in the lounge before being taken to the dining room. lunch is reasonably priced and there was a good choice of meat, fish and veggie options.The dining room is beautiful, the food was excellent and service was very good. Highly recommended.

Simply just lovely. This is everything you could ask for. Beautiful surroundings and comfortable chairs to relax in. Attentive staff. We had a very relaxing afternoon and look forward to going back

This was my first visit to the Culloden House Hotel and I'm sorry I haven't been sooner. We went for the lunch menu which was under £20 for three courses of exquisite and beautifully presented food. The value for money is amazing!The roaring fire in the room was lovely, and the staff were great! It wasn't posh and snooty (as someone might expect from such a grand place) we couldn't have felt more welcome!Not one complaint from our whole group, we'll be back and I've recommended The Culloden House Hotel to everyone!I have to make a special mention to the bread maker!! The homemade rolls and goats cheese bread were real winners!

We had a three course lunch here. All courses were delicious but the desserts....oh mmmm! We did not feel rushed at all after our meal to leave and in fact could have had an after lunch snooze in the lounge quite happily.The staff are a real credit too.It is just a shame it wasn't busier. This is something I am guilty off too as we live in Inverness and this is the first time we have been here. We dine out regularly but just forget about this lovely hotel....but no longer.

There was lots of choice of meals, I had the chilli, this was deliciously tasty. The portions are massive!

Después de viajar varias horas en coche, es muy agradable poder cenar en un buen sitio dentro del mismo Hotel, con un bar que tiene una sorprendente colección de Whiskeys.

We were celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary, so chose to go all out and get a suite. It is expensive. It is lovely. Our sitting room was okay -- just not that memorable. But we had door going outside that was lovely and our bedroom was simply beautiful. The windows and window seats were spectacular. We each had our own bathroom (mine a lot better than his). The grounds were amazing -- especially the walled garden! Every evening, there is a piper to let you know that it's almost dinner time. I will admit, the place is smaller than I thought looking at the pictures. It also has some dated qualities about it. That being said, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Staff is great (and super hard-working). Food divine.

My two-night stay at the Culloden House was an experience I'll never forget! From the warm and helpful staff, to my comfy room on the third floor and, of course, the amazing breakfasts, it was all top-notch. This beautiful hotel is located between the historic Culloden Battlefield and downtown Inverness, (about 10 minutes in either direction) making it a great place to stay for sightseeing around the area. ... and don't forget to wander around the well-tended grounds. All first class, highly recommend!

The Culloden House restaurant is elegant, calm yet cheery. The food is excellent albeit a bit too "standard international luxury" for our taste (we prefer modernist cuisine...). Ingredients are top and presentation is exquisite. Desserts are a MUST!

During our group's three-night stay at Culloden House, we took all our breakfasts and dinners in a private dining room. I must admit that prior to our stay, I had been inclined to think that a traditional country house hotel might offer food that was, well, traditional, and perhaps stodgy and overcooked. I'm so happy to be proved wrong; Culloden House's chefs offer inventive, beautifully prepared menus to delight foodies and omnivores. The seafood items I tried were delectable, but so were the meat, game, and vegetable dishes. One night I ordered the fish pie, and the version that was presented can best be described as a modern, deconstructed version. It was a delight to both the eye and the palate. After our three-course dinner, coffee/tea and petits fours were served. Most of our group opted to skip this and retire for the night, having been worn out by a long day of sightseeing. But for the few of us who remained, the gracious ritual of coffee/tea and little treats served in the inviting lounge was a perfect, civilized, relaxing way to wind down. The food and service at breakfast were of an equally high standard. While the printed menu was already quite extensive, the accommodating staff also took special requests (such as adding some mixed vegetables as a side to accompany my perfectly cooked order of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs). Breakfast was so delightful I only wish I'd had more time to linger over it. Alas, our sightseeing schedule didn't allow us this luxury. As a foodie, I was extremely impressed by the quality of the food served at Culloden House, and I'm happy to say it was matched by the quality of the service.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Culloden House for five nights whilst traveling around Scotland. I have reviewed the hotel separately. We dined at the Culloden House three evenings while we were there. Prior to dinner we enjoyed wonderful cocktails in the Adams Lounge/Drawing room. It's a beautifully decorated large room with comfortable couches and chairs, a fireplace, lovely paintings, a huge antique mirror and chandelier and very high ceilings. Stephen made us a really nice vodka martini with a splash of Cointreau. The staff brought us menus and we ordered our meal whilst enjoying our cocktails. There is a very nice wine list as well. You are invited to come into the Adams Dining Room when you are ready. The dining room is a formal setup as we expected with white linen table cloths and candles. It is decorated very nice and colorful with a beautiful chandelier. Our meal started with a different Amuse Bouche each evening and each one was very good. We tried something different every night for dinner. For starters our favorites were the Seared King Scallops with little bits of cauliflower and candied peanuts, the Pork Belly and the Kiln Smoked Salmon. We agreed that the best entrees were the Scotch Beef Fillet that was cooked perfectly and the Bouillabaisse made with roasted hake and salmon in a saffron broth. Other great choices were the Lamb Loin and the Halibut. All entrees are presented beautifully. The desserts were amazing especially the dark chocolate, raspberries, raspberry sorbet. We had this on two occasions as it was so good. The service was EXCEPTIONAL!!! Afterwards we went to the Library Bar for an after dinner drink. The best part of this was listening to Stephen explain the Scotch Whiskey they have on hand. And there are lots and lots of them. His knowledge is amazing.

We had a fantastic dinner experience back in May and I forgot to post. The whole meal was magical and faultless. Having worked in the hospitality industry all my life you can truly appreciate the skills and quality of all the staff here, from the waiters through to the chefs. The attention to detail is paramount in this restaurant and it shone through in every course. We were greeted on arrival and had pre-dinner drinks in the bar and was shown the menu and the dishes were explained in full to us.The scallops were the freshest and the finest I have ever have experienced. That was followed by seabream and a wonderful selection of cheeses. We then retired to the lounge where coffee and petit fours were served. I can honestly say i couldn't fault the meal at all and can't wait to come back and try again.

Visited the restaurant with my partner in May and was overwhelmed by the fantastic, historic surroundings and the amazing staff. The wow factor is as soon as you are driven up the driveway to the grand entrance. You are shown into a well appointed bar with a very knowledgable barman able to tell you about each of the many whiskies on the trolley. Dinner is in a grand sitting room and I had hand dived scallops which were flown in from the islands followed by a perfectly cooked steak. The cheese board and port were sublime and the petit fours in the lounge were deliciously moreish. Deserves a much higher rating and I will be back. Well done to all involved.

We enjoyed wonderful seafood, lamb and beef in a beautiful setting. Service was impeccable--Noel, Murray and Jamie did a fabulous job! Totally amazing meal!

After a day of touring, my husband and I treated ourselves to dinner here. Reservations are necessary. The atmosphere is elegant, with a reserved historic feel. The property is a beautiful Manor House. The meal was delicious. Dessert even better. We felt comfortable and welcome by the staff.

We stayed at the hotel and had dinner two nights in the restaurant. The menu was very limited and the fare is mostly classic Scottish. I thought the service was fine but below that expected in a fine old hotel like Culloden House. My fish the one night was not particularly good as it was sort of mushy and didn't seem fresh. Maybe they were just having a bad night?It was expensive and I would not recommend you make the drive from Inverness (or from where ever) just to eat at the restaurant. If you stay at Culloden House - dinner there makes more sense because, the alternative, is to drag to Inverness for more dining options.

Well presented, beautifully thought out menu. Shame I had to eat in my room as I didn't pack heels to wear with my designer dress. Make sure you follow etiquette rules when dining here.

We enjoyed a three-course lunch in this restaurant that is inside the hotel. We were escorted into the sitting room where we had beverages before lunch.The atmosphere is very pleasant. The grounds of the hotel are nicely kept and it has the feel of a country mansion. The food was quite good and the presentation was nice as well. The service was also attentive without being stuffy.

Evening meal was fantastic with a choice of Ports, Cheese and Scotch that you`d find hard to beat...

This was my favourite dining experience in the last year - I thought the food was exceptional.We loved the scallops & cauliflower korma and duck tea starters. The lamb, fillet steak and halibut mains were all a treat. Desserts were splendid. So much flavour and interesting combinations on the plate.Starters were £10-£12 and mains £20-£28 which felt like good value for the quality of the food.The wine list had a wide variety of options, a little expensive but good quality. We enjoyed the NZ Sauvignon blanc at £32 and Morgon at £38.Friendly, informal service. Great experience.

One of my favourite restaurants.Great locationFantastic serviceLovely foodGreat wine listYou are walmly greeted at reception and shown to a lovely sitting room for pre dinner drinks and choice from menus and wine list"Main dining room is traditionally furnished, high ceilings and lovely wall coverings . The service is exemplary, as is the food.I wish management from other restaurants would dine here to see how it is do Everything!Not cheap, our two course meal plus wine came to £70 per head but worth every penny.

Just had our first visit to this hotel and will most definitely be back. Arrived to a lovely welcome, drove up to the front of hotel, where they offered to get our bags from car and then parked our car as well. Bags taken to room, which was just amazing. We were in room 12, beautiful big spacious room with 2 large beds, sofas, chairs and a beautiful fireplace. Gorgeous big bathroom with 2 sinks, jaccuzzi bath and a fabulous shower. We went to bar and found it laid back, comfortable and relaxing where Noel made us lovely Martinis. We had decided not to go for a full meal in the restaurant and were served a lounge menu which was delicious. Had a walk around the grounds and walled garden which was lovely. Breakfast has a great choice and was very tasty. All the staff were just so friendly, helpful and wonderful...Noel, Stephen (the manager), A lovely lady on reception but didn't get her name and Kyle who served us breakfast, took our bags to the car and even gave us a wee hug as we left....such a lovely man and what a wonderful staff, nothing was too much trouble. We will most definitely back, I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough.

My husband and I stayed one night at Culloden House Hotel to be close to the Inverness Airport for our next day departure. What a find! We were awestruck upon arrival at the beauty of the place, inside and out. The level of service, the stately antique accommodations, and the cuisine offered were amazing. I cannot say enough good things about it. Our suite was wonderful with a huge bedroom and sitting area, and the bathroom was spectacular. We were a little concerned at first that the heating would not be adequate, but as it turned out, the radiators and fireplace provided the perfect amount of warmth once the wooden shutters on the windows were closed. My only regret is that, even though I read the strict dress code (no denim) when I made the reservation, I did not pack appropriate attire for us to have dinner in the dining room that evening - and apparently there was a party in progress with people dressed in kilts and full regalia, which I would have liked to see. They were happy to serve us from the dinner menu in our room however, so we took that option; and our selections were delivered in separate courses the same as if we had been in the dining room, rather than all at once as room service is usually done. That alone, was impressive, and the taste was impeccable. Breakfast the next morning was equally tasty and we greatly enjoyed the personal service and conversing with our waiter. A longer stay at Culloden House is definitely in my plans for next time I am in Scotland.

We have visited Culloden house for lunch three times now and absolutely love it!!I email before hand to obtain the current lunch menu as I'm a vegetarian and a bit fussy and like to know what's available for me.We order from the lunch menu two courses for 15.95 and three for £19.95 .When we are shown in we sit in the magnificent back room overlooking the back gardens to receive our menu and order from lovely Kyle who is so accommodating and full of useful information not just about Culloden house but anything you chat to him about, I mentioned on our last visit I was planning a trip to NY and off he went to get the name of a great place one of the staff members had stayed for us, so helpful and remembers us when we return.To start we always receive some wonderful homemade bread and the wait time between courses is minimal, we haven't taken out seven year old along yet as we sneak off to lunch when she's at school but Kyle encouraged us to bring her next time as the front grounds are so vast she would have a ball.We eat out maybe twice a week sometimes more so I can say that both the service and quality of food at the Culloden House is five star but Kyle he's worth ten stars

Christmas present of Afternoon Tea for 2 which was thoroughly enjoyed by my sister in law and I. Scones, shortbread meringue, sandwiches etc were delicious. Service was excellent with very friendly staff. House is beautiful with a relaxing atmosphere. Lovely end to my sister in laws holiday with us.

My husband and I had a post anniversary lunch here. We were made to feel so welcome by all the staff, particularly the waiter. It was like being at your much-loved aunties house and nothing was too much trouble. Food was fantastic and beautifully cooked. We were never rushed and could have happily sat by the fire for hours. This is a fabulous place and I will definitely be back. Keep up the good work and stay fabulous guys!

I stayed here for 2 nights, I enjoyed the gardens and pleasure of staying at a beautiful hotel. The staff are excellent, welcoming and friendly. Thanks to them all.

Arranged to do the Northcoast 500 and wanted to find somewhere to stay in Inverness. Pictures of Culloden House were impressive so booked a night on the start of the tour and a night for the return journey. On arrival the building is impressive I even stopped on the drive to take photos. From this point everything went downhill. Rude and offensive senior staff telling me that I couldn't eat in the restaurant due to dress code - ( I had on smart dark denim jeans, shirt and a jacket with clean shoes ) - room was appalling and dirty looked like it hadn't been painted for twenty years ...wall paper peeling, paint flaking, bed sagging, tired carpet and a filthy bathroom.

Gorgeous place, full of history. The staff are friendly and make time to chat with you. The food was great and the ambaince was fabulaous. Am definitely going back!

Afternoon Tea here truly is a special treat in a lovely relaxed setting. Culloden House itself is very Grand but the staff here are so welcoming.I had Afternoon Tea here with a group of friends for my sister's 40th birthday. There was a large group of us but plenty food for everyone which was replenished throughout the afternoon. There was plentiful sandwiches with various fillings, scones, shortbread and various cream cakes all homemade. Tea, coffee and Prosecco for afters. The surroundings are beautiful and the room you are in for the afternoon is a large room with big old fashioned chairs and sofas. Very quaint setting. I highly recommend this specially for a treat or occasion.

The Culloden House Hotel is magnificent! Starting with the excellent staff in manager Stephen, Murray , Harvey, and others, we were made to feel right at home on our trek to visit our McIntosh ancestral lands. The food was excellent, and the location with beautiful gardens was truly the ideal spot for us to headquarter for our first several nights in the Highlands.

spent a lovely afternoon here for afternoon tea it was a lovely tea with scones sandwiches shortbread and lovely cakes followed by prosecco the staff were very welcoming. I would recommend this experience and the surroundings are beautiful.

Amazing hotel for 11 of our family traveling for a special birthday! We spent three nights at this vey special castle hotel. Murray, Harvey, and all the staff couldn't do enough for us, even arranged a small room for us to do yoga! Loved our room with two bathrooms! Enjoyed our private family dining room each night. Food was delicious! Croquet was fun, too! 10 minutes from City Center.

This hotel is still a lovely place to stay. Really delightful staff and service and nothing is too much trouble. It has an old style elegance and grandeur and the breakfast and dinners are superb. My only and sincerest reticence is that their ability to cater for infirm or disabled visitors is virtually impossible. The room I was offered on the ground floor is beautiful, however the room is not a specific room for people with mobility issues it is huge and furniture spread apart so for an elderly person everything is out of reach, also the bed is three steps up and bathroom three steps down. The bathroom is not equipped with any grab rails and the loo seat is low, and a big step in to the shower and a low bath. There is a room in the annexe with disabled access however there is no entrance in to the main body of the hotel that caters for people to avoid several steps. The strong male staff will gladly help carry wheelchair customers in to the hotel but it's a palaver and draws embarrassing attention to the occupants. So my point is that in this day and age Culloden House needs to address solutions to this, it's not enough to say 'it's a listed building', so are many theatres, hotels, museums and even Buckingham Palace, but all have installations that make disabled access possible easily without destroying the permanent fabric of the building.We would love to visit here again, but alas as things are it will be impossible to consider. Culloden House in a society where people are living longer I urge you to think seriously about making improvements in this regard. Otherwise though our stay was lovely, and the afternoon tea that we asked the hotel to arrange for our mothers 90th celebration was second to none and served with great style and elegance. Particularly we would like to thank Kyle the member of staff who helped us get the elderly visitors in to the building with great humour, he was wonderful.

Staff was great! Facility was wonderful except the bed was overly soft for our liking. Would have expected a more up to date mattress. Otherwise, very impressive stay.

Une journée, une nuit dans ce super château à proche d'Inverness.La bâtiment est très beau et le parc agréable. Nous avons eu la chance de profiter d'un petit concert de Cornemuse dans le parc. Les chambres sont légèrement vieillottes malgré que cela reste dans le style château britannique. Le wifi n'est malheureusement pas très puissant lorsque vous vous trouvez au dernier étage. Pas très pratique. Le eptit déjeuner ce fait das un salon traditionnel et est de qualité. Dans cet établissement, le breakfast se commande à la carte, pas de buffet. Cependant, les produits utilisés sont tous excellents.

Enjoyed drinks , tasting menu and desserts accompanied by fine wines in a candlelight country manor house atmosphere. food was excellent, served well and there were good choices for all concerned. Room had 'class' , high ceilings , beautiful furnishings and a view over the grounds.
