The most wonderful stay of our 3 week visit to England, Scotland and Ireland! The owners (they work there everyday) are delightful people, warm and gracious! They have been on a 20 year mission to lovingly upgrade the Grand Dame of Scotland and are succeeding! The Coul House is THE best value for what you get in return. The gardens are lovely, the Fairy Trails delightful, the food, drinks and service spectacular! Our room was well appointed, clean and thoughtfully decorated The Highlands of Scotland are not to be missed! Inverness is a wonderful town just 20 minutes away. We love the Coul House and look forward to our return! Bravo!

This hotel is just perfect if you want a quality, understated, comfortable and quite break. Lovely grounds, staff get the balance of being friendly but not intrusive just right. Dogs are made welcome everywhere except the main dining room. Service top notch (nice to go somewhere these days where there are enough staff). Rooms are comfortable and crisp white sheets and the most comfortable beds made me feel like I was floating on a cloud! We had dinner in the dining room each night and the food was delicious. Strathpeffer is a lovely walk away or a few minutes by car and is well worth exploring. Dingwall is the nearest place with more high street names, Tesco, Lidl etc as well as some lovely independent shops on the high street. Loved my stay and will return anytime I visit the highlands.

This hotel is a quite hotel in the country. We absolutely loved the location. There is a Restraunt downstairs that typically can accommodate guest as well as a bar and large dog friendly yard. We loved all the dogs roaming around. The hotel is a historic style hotel and we would love to return in the winter to see the fireplace going! The owner waited on us a few times and we very kind and courteous. The price is reasonable as well. Overall great experience.

Check-in was a breeze. As soon as you walk into the foyer the large open fireplace set the tone for our stay. Warm and inviting. Rooms are upstairs with no lift but help with the bags is available. Room was a bit small but well equipped with amazing shower (no bath). Flush handle on the toilet was loose but worked fine. No need to leave the hotel for food as the restaurant is first class and breakfast as good as I have had anywhere. Service was first class with staff very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a lounge where you can sit before dinner and after for a scotch or a coffee. Their stock of scotch is excellent and the owner seems to have tried them all. Would recommend this hotel for anyone wishing to stay and explore the highlands.

Coul House is an exceptional choice for a relaxing stay, with the accessibility to Highlands! We were able to visit the Isle of Skye and several other great attractions. The breakfast has delicious choices and dinner is an excellent fine-dining option. The gardens are very well maintained and add to the beauty of the villa.

This is an excellent property with an immaculate renovation of rooms for a structure built in the 1800's. All modern conveniences are present, yet the aura of the historic building is preserved. The food is incredible,on par with Michelin restaurants where we dined in the past. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The garden and surrounding vistas are enchanting. I would definitely rate this hotel the highest rating.

Check-in was a breeze. As soon as you walk into the foyer the large open fireplace set the tone for our stay. Warm and inviting. Rooms are upstairs with no lift but help with the bags is available. Room was a bit small but well equipped with amazing shower (no bath). Flush handle on the toilet was loose but worked fine. No need to leave the hotel for food as the restaurant is first class and breakfast as good as I have had anywhere. Service was first class with staff very helpful and knowledgeable. They have a lounge where you can sit before dinner and after for a scotch or a coffee. Their stock of scotch is excellent and the owner seems to have tried them all. Would recommend this hotel for anyone wishing to stay and explore the highlands.

Excellent faultless service and amazing food. Nothing too much trouble. Reasonable price for top class hotel. Beautiful grounds to walk in and not far from the east coast, Black Isle and Beauly where we wanted to visit. Definitely will return.

This hotel is just perfect if you want a quality, understated, comfortable and quite break. Lovely grounds, staff get the balance of being friendly but not intrusive just right. Dogs are made welcome everywhere except the main dining room. Service top notch (nice to go somewhere these days where there are enough staff). Rooms are comfortable and crisp white sheets and the most comfortable beds made me feel like I was floating on a cloud! We had dinner in the dining room each night and the food was delicious. Strathpeffer is a lovely walk away or a few minutes by car and is well worth exploring. Dingwall is the nearest place with more high street names, Tesco, Lidl etc as well as some lovely independent shops on the high street. Loved my stay and will return anytime I visit the highlands.

Coul House is an exceptional choice for a relaxing stay, with the accessibility to Highlands! We were able to visit the Isle of Skye and several other great attractions. The breakfast has delicious choices and dinner is an excellent fine-dining option. The gardens are very well maintained and add to the beauty of the villa.

This is an excellent property with an immaculate renovation of rooms for a structure built in the 1800's. All modern conveniences are present, yet the aura of the historic building is preserved. The food is incredible,on par with Michelin restaurants where we dined in the past. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The garden and surrounding vistas are enchanting. I would definitely rate this hotel the highest rating.
