Tulloch Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"“Staying at Tulloch Castle was a wonderful experience. The grounds were immaculate, and the Green Lady Bar had a warm, lively feel with excellent drinks. Our room had that classic castle charm, and the bathroom was spotless and spacious, with both a walk-in shower and deep tub. The bed ran firm, which isn’t my preference, but it was manageable. Dinner and breakfast were both outstanding, and the staff were genuinely kind and helpful. The laundry service was a real bonus. We’d absolutely stay again.”"

Columba Hotel Inverness by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"Our room was clean and beds comfortable. The hallways/doors were very dirty. They need to assign a dedicated staff to do cleaning and maintenance every once and awhile. Scrub the doors, touch up the paint. The doors were so dirty I didn’t like touching them to open them. The staff/ reception was wonderful and helpful in every way. The rooms don’t have many amenities, just a kettle. We didn’t purchase breakfast here because the continental was only coffee and cereal, no toast or fruit. You had to order the full hot breakfast if you wanted a simple toast breakfast, the price vs value was not comparable to other hotels continental offerings. The location was perfect! Across from the castle, short walks to everything, and the bus around the corner if you’re a traveller. Lastly they have a late 11am checkout. All in all I was happy with the hotel."

"We LOVED our room & stay here….wish we had booked another couple days. Staff were very nice, accommodating and kind. We were blessed with sun & blue sky…..walk across the road to the golf course and an easy walk to a beautiful beach. The grounds are lovely. They had a wedding party and could not accommodate our having dinner at the hotel BUT the receptionist made a recommendation and booked a nearby dinner for us which was very good 🙂 If we get back over the pond we would stay here again & for longer"
