Luxurious hotel surrounded by 40 acres of grounds in the Scottish Highlands
With a history that dates back more than 200 years, the Culloden House Hotel is the epitome of luxury. This historic stately home offers not only comfort but good eating and the chance to roam free amidst beautifully landscaped gardens.

Crystal chandeliers and marble fireplaces add an element of romance to the atmosphere, something the hotel prides itself on throughout. This is certainly a destination for those looking for a quiet and peaceful long weekend away. Many of the luxurious rooms include four-poster beds and beautiful views of the grounds outside.
It’s not all tradition though; a few modern conveniences are added to enhance each stay. Digital televisions are included within each room whilst the hotel also offers an indulgent spa service. Whilst the outer grounds provide a location for a healthy walk or jog, and tennis courts can be utilised to keep fit, there are also a number of massage and beauty treatments that can help fully relax the body. Guests needn’t partake in those sweaty activities either to make the most of such treatments.

Whether it’s the Library Bar with its deep leather seats and rich Scotch whisky or Forbes Room with its royal tartan finish and its oak panelling and marble fireplace, there’s luxury at every turn within the house.
