Culloden House in and of itself is endearing, as well as comfortable. The house is beautiful and steeped in some dramatic and even dark history at certain points, and there is much to glean from its storied past. The only element that surpasses the house itself are those who keep it running. They’re exceptional, thoughtful and warm, as well as helpful. I would say unequivocally that if you’re traveling around Inverness, it would be a shame not to stay here.

It is a lovely, old house. Staff are good. Perfect as an overnight arriving or departing Inverness. Too few places as this anymore.

I've been in more hotel rooms than the Gideon Bible. Take it from a guy who has traveled more than 4 million miles reporting for NBC News, the Culloden hotel in Inverness, Scotland, is one of the best. Not just for the obvious reasons. For Kyle who carried gear up four floors. For Rebecca who hand wrote recommendations from her childhood memories. For Steve who found transportation others could not. Those are only a few names I remember. If you find a hotel that feels like home, stay there.

The property, rooms, dining, staff were all very nice. The only derogatory observation was the condition of some items. It was a very hot week, the room did not have AC and the windows would not open all the way, would not stay open, there were no window screens. there was a very small portable fan to help at night. Because it's seldom hot in Scotland we would stay here again.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable except it was so hot in the rooms and hallways. We opened out windows and turned off the furnace but it never cooled down. At checkin the lady seemed a little bothered to have to deal with us. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff all morning was great.

Absolutely outstanding hotel and service. Unfortunately I didn’t arrive in time for dinner, but I was offered a sandwich when I checked in and was made aware of the room service menu. Room was fabulous and very well appointed. Breakfast was totally top notch. Staff were brilliant, couldn’t have been more helpful. I can’t wait to return on pleasure rather than business!

Had a lovely weekend at the hotel. I had an amazing room, the staff were wonderful and the food was really good as well. I was a little disappointed not to have tea and coffee making facilities in my room, but after a call to reception, it was brought over to my room. Would highly recommend this hotel!

Great Staff at The Culloden House Hotel
I had a short but great stay at the Culloden. The staff were very good, friendly, helpful and professional. My room was comfortable and the en-suite was sparkling. I watched with interest how the staff dealt with some demanding and challenging guests and was impressed with their patience, understanding and once again professionalism. I was on business but will return without doubt for a more indulgent experience.

Garden is stunning, front of property is beautiful (especially in summer) and they offer free parking and complementary breakfast. I’ve heard the tea is very good (didn’t have it myself) and Kyle, the host, is wonderful. That being said, the property is overpriced and well past its prime. It looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 1980’s or 1990’s. They have old, discolored telephones and alarm clocks in the rooms and strange clothing presses that look ancient. Surely no one uses these and they can be removed so the impression when you walk into the room isn’t “Oh wow…everything is old; and not in a quaint historical way.” Very pricy just to say you’ve stayed there, although the grounds and service are nice.

Culloden House provided an exceptional Highland Experience. The ambiance was incredible. Customer care was warm and friendly, and they made you feel like you owned the manor! The food was amazing at any meal of the day. There is a Magical Secret Garden and if you are into the Spirit World, don't forget to ask Kyle for a Ghost Tour! Our only wish it to be able to return one day........THANK You for the highlight of our Scotland trip, Culloden House!

Excellent hotel with the best staff
By far my favorite stay during my 11 days in Scotland. This hotel is exactly as advertised on their website. It is a luxury experience without any of the stuffiness. The building, grounds, and rooms are all beautiful. They have their own private garden and some highland cows to meet just a few minutes walk away. The staff were above and beyond helpful and nice. I spent a really lovely evening next to the fire in the lounge, drinking a glass of wine, and chatting with one member of the staff and a couple from Eastern Scotland. I only ate breakfast at the hotel, but it was tasty and I am sure the dinner is even more delicious. I can't recommend this place enough!
