As luxury hotels go, the grand country mansion that is Culloden House Hotel is one of the best in Scotland.
At the time of the Jacobite uprising in 1745-46, Bonnie Prince Charlie used Culloden House as his lodging and battle headquarters prior to that fateful battle on Culloden Moor.
Today, this historic Inverness luxury hotel stands in nearly 40 acres where you are free to wander about the woodland and private gardens to enjoy the exceptional peace, tranquility and majesty of the grounds.
Undoubtedly the hotels’ greatest asset is the staff. The Highland hospitality has been elevated to its highest art form without being “stuffy” nor too “proper” or reserved. After all you deserve, without compromise, the very best.
Brand g guests who will have access to the award-winning Adam’s Dining Room where Chef Scott O’ Keefe draws on superb local and near-local produce: Loch Fyne salmon, sweet Orkney crab, Scotch beef fillet from the Highlands.
As one would expect the cellars of Culloden House brim with Malt Whiskies, a passion which has resulted in it being recognized as Malt Whisky Ambassadors and a Malt Whisky Embassy by the Scottish Malt Whisky Society.
Many of the malts are rare, exclusive and not available to purchase in even the more famous whisky shops, that is because they buy many of them from private collectors and specialty auctions which provide 100% provenance as well as the best possible price.
