As an 'expat' Invernessian it was a joy, in this day and age , to still find a warm welcome for visitors to the Capital of the Highlands, and nowhere is that welcome more evident than at Culloden House.
We attended a wedding there recently, staying overnight, and from start to finish the entire experience was one of total professionalism intertwined with friendliness.
From the welcoming lady at reception, through the extremely engaging & cheerful porter, all the way to the general manager, the staff could not have been more helpful.
Having travelled the world and stayed in some of the finest, including Raffles, I can honestly say that Culloden House and it's staff are up there with the best.

This hotel has been on my “Places to stay” wish list for as long as I can remember. We stayed on Valentine’s night and it was fantastic. They gave us the most amazing room with a beautiful four poster bed and two bathrooms – what bliss. The dinner was
delicious. As a fellow hotelier and chef I wish I could produce food like this. Hotel is spotlessly clean, the staff do a variety of different jobs but are happy, ever so helful and really pleasant. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Our stay for 2 nights was absolutely amazing!! On arrival we were greeted as if we were Royalty (King and Queen of Scotland). The building is so beautiful, lots of character and warmth. We could have stayed there forever.

The food was excellent, so delicious. If you are visiting Scotland, this is one place you must visit...words can't express, you need to see for yourself. Beautiful building, beautiful location and beautiful history...and wonderful staff.

We also met a lovely couple on their honeymoon, from Florida who were travelling throughout Scotland...was a pleasure to be amongst people who have a passion for scotland.

Will definately visit again :-)

My husband I were looking for somewhere to spend a romantic autumn weekend and by discovering Culloden House we really struck gold!
The level of service was second to none - right from being met at the beautiful entrance by the manager who carried our bags inside, through to the smiling, helpful staff who couldn't do enough for us.
The attention to detail was incredibly impressive. When we arrived at our suite - a gorgeous antique filled room, complete with four-poster bed, they had lit an open fire in the private sitting room.
The management have succeeded in finding the perfect balance between hotel and country house. Despite the elegance and opulence of the house's decor, it never felt stuffy or over-formal, unlike other similar properties we have stayed in. We were given all the little extras that you would expect from a top class hotel - fluffy towelling robes, slippers and luxury toiletries.
After a windy walk on the beach and a drive around Loch Ness, we felt relaxed enough to curl up with our books by the huge log fire in the public sitting room where we enjoyed a warming pot of tea. The staff were so discrete that we felt completely at home. In the evening, we were thoroughly spoilt with a delicious dinner and whisky in the lounge.
I would recommend Culloden House both as a great base for exploring the beautiful Scottish Highlands or just for a romantic weekend, getting away from it all and switching off in a beautiful environment.
We will definitely be back!!!
