Beautiful hotel. It took a 1/2 hour to check me into the hotel because they forgot to reserve my room from Expedia. It wasn’t Expedia’s fault but the hotel.

WOWSERS!
Gorgeous grounds, delicious food at the Cultra Inn Restaurant, and luxurious rooms! I got a suite and it was absolutely stunning! It's a shame I only stayed one night before my flight because it was truly an incredible property! The bathroom was so fancy with a huge immaculate bathtub and separate shower. The bed was tall and huge with giant pillows. The room was massive and had a lounge area and stunning view of the surroundings. The staff was friendly and helpful and professional. I can't complain about this stay.

Fantastic stay at the Culloden estate and spa. Disappointing the gym was closed during my visit, but the friendliness of the staff, the great food and quiet location certainly make up for it! Thank you for a great stay!

The hotel is very nice and well presented. The pool was closed which was disappointing, for the cost I would have hoped that I could have been forewarned.

The nicest overall hotel I’ve stayed in, over my 66 years. First class in almost every respect, except that when checking in the luggage and room introduction service was well below average. But they may have been overtaxed with a Rolls Royce on site event in progress at the time?

Not good value. Premium paid for location in countryside which is within 100 metres of highway. Dining facilities were not set up for remote location. No formal dining facility on Sundays and other weekend evenings already fully booked with neighbourhood reservations. Service staff were not focused and many not properly trained.

Very nice staff, but tired and overpriced, especially the additional £50 we were made to pay for breakfast on top of the room rate.
