"The rooms and common areas are opulent and luxurious. The grounds are wonderfully manicured with exceptional views out to the sea. There is even a haunted castle ruin on site! All the staff are wonderful and friendly, especially Andrea who looked after my family and I on our short stay. Without a doubt, one of the prettiest hotels in Scotland! "

"Very clean, very helpful staff. Slightly strange.environment. Old Findhorn retreat about 15 minutes walk from middle of Forres, almost a hundred rooms, but only two seemed occupied. Impression was refurbishment may be incomplete, but difficult to see it will ever have enough trade. Reception was unoccupied and accessible by mobile. It all worked, but not the typical hotel experience."

"Wonderful house. I have had many visits to Nairn over the years and this is my #1 for Accommodation. Whole house was immaculate. Location right in the heart of everything yet peaceful right beside the river. Very generous welcome pack too.
We booked again for 2026 as soon as we arrived.

"The lodge is beautiful in very peaceful area, it was very clean with everything we needed. We used it mainly for a base as we were traveling so only really slept there. The lodge is situated between 2 other properties and would benefit ( I’m my opinion) with blinds on all lower windows.
The bed is very comfortable but a bit on the narrow side. The shower is fantastic very big and spacious. The Wi-Fi is on the slow side but apart from that we thoroughly enjoyed our time there especially when we...

"Culloden House Hotel is an experience steeped in history and warmth. From the moment we arrived, the staff were beyond exceptional. Genuinely kind, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about the property and its past. Their hospitality alone makes this hotel unforgettable.
The history is what truly sets Culloden House apart. The rooms themselves are visually luxurious, staying here feels like stepping back into the 17th and 18th centuries. Knowing who once walked these halls, the conversations that must have taken place, and the pivotal moments tied to this house adds a sense of magic you simply can’t replicate in a modern hotel.
High tea was absolutely lovely, a true highlight, and breakfast was delicious, thoughtfully prepared and enjoyed in a setting that feels timeless. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, perfect for wandering and taking in the atmosphere of the Highlands.
Culloden House isn’t about flashy décor; it’s about soul, history, and impeccable service. If you appreciate character, storytelling, and being immersed in a place with deep historical significance, this hotel is truly special."
"Very friendly staff, clean warm room on with a very comfy bed, evening meal and breakfast were superb, I will certainly be stopping here again when I am in Elgin!"
"The room was spotless, we were giving a very warm welcome when we checked in .
We only stayed 1 night and the only meal we had was breakfast.
But what a breakfast, bacon sausage, fried egg, haggis , black pudding , mushrooms, fried tomatoes, tattie scone and hash browns.
I would recommend this hotel to
Anybody as it was very well priced for all that we got ."
