Things can go wrong no matter where you stay, but how they are dealt with speaks volumes. We went to the Culloden for my husband's birthday 10th May 2013. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond the hotel's control, our first night was not as we'd hoped. However, when we aired our concerns, they treated us extremely well. We were given a... More

We stayed here for a wedding in May 2013. The food was lovely, service was great, rooms were well equipped, clean and the bed was huge! We paid 135 for the night. The drinks, as expected, were quite expensive. Due to having another wedding the next day we were unable to make use of the leisure facilities but i hear... More

I stayed at the Culloden this week on business, it's a fabulous place, stunning scenery and outstanding service. The grounds are impressive, even in the rain, and if you get the right room you'll have wonderful views accross the water. The only thing I can criticise is the price for in room wifi and then the very weak signal and... More

We recently enjoyed a stay at The Culloden, to celebrate my husbands birthday. Our stay was faultless. This was a gift from a good friend, we were treated to Afternoon Tea, and then evening meal followed by an overnight stay in the Carnoustie Suite. From the moment we entered reception we were treated superbly, the waiting staff were courteous and... More

We recently attended a family wedding at the Culloden and would say that it was excellent. We had a lovely meal and the Stuart Suite was very good and the view from the dinning room was spectacular. The staff were very attentive and our glasses were never empty
