We were not told about electricity that it was a key meter it was only when an alarm was going off we traced it to electric box to find there was only 50p left on it we put key on and it added another £15 which went nowhere these are very expensive devices.

Recent Reviews in Culrain

St Duthus Villa Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean staff excellent parking easy close to amenities good value"

Royal Golf Hotel

8/10 Good

"The view from the dining room (across the first tee at Royal Dornoch, and over the Dornoch Firth) is stunning. Food (dinner and breakfast) was excellent, and the staff were very helpful. Our only disappointment was the view from our bedroom, featuring a fire escape and staff walkway. Not important as we were only staying one night, but I will check the room before booking when I return."

Dornoch Station

10/10 Excellent

"location and building"

Kincraig Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bit disappointing that we only learned that there was no food available until we arrived on Sunday evening. Other than that, everything was great. Thought we could have been notified in advance."

Golspie Inn

8/10 Good

"Good pit stop"

Delny Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful spot, especially with kids, as the common space has a slide, pirate ship climber, farm animals to see (goats, chickens, ponies) and grass to run on. The glamping cabins were quite clean and "cozy", as you'd expect, but we fit 3 adults and 3 kids in there. We were able to buy some firewood for a cooking fire. Definitely recommended for anyone looking to get a bit of a camping experience. Owners were very friendly as well, and generally available as needed."

Tuckers Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Tuckers Inn is a great traveller’s rest, clean, comfortable and quiet, the food on offer there was delicious. All the staff there were fantastic, friendly and accommodating."

Novar Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely good value. The room was comfortable and the breakfast excellent."
