Coul House Hotel

Genteel Scottish manor hotel

Exceptional

Very comfortable and relaxing stay

Liked: Wonderful garden and excellent dinner
Disliked: Smallish bathroom

Superb

Liked: The food was amazing, and it's a beautiful, if isolated, area. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, and the history of the hotel, told through a collection of annual update letters from the owner, was strangely engaging, but I couldn't stop reading!
Disliked: A challenging location to enjoy on foot, plan to travel by car a bit to see the area.

We will return. It was...

Liked: Staff were welcoming and the service very professional and very friendly . Food was superb. Excellent rooms.

Ideal place to stop on...

Liked: Beautiful setting tucked away from everything. Just so peaceful sitting on the terrace enjoying a cup of tea and later pre dinner drinks. Stuart and Susannah are absolutely wonderful hosts, nothing is too much for them or their staff.

Relaxing, comfortable,enjoyable and a little...

Disliked: Not much

A memorable and nostalgic stay...

Liked: We returned to the Coul House to celebrate our wedding anniversary, having been married there 20 years ago after first falling in love with it during our very first holiday together 27 years ago. The property remains as charming as ever, with tasteful redecoration, modernised bathrooms, and a lovely restoration of original features in the lobby that preserve its historic character. One delightful new addition is the Fairy Trail in the beautiful grounds, which only adds to the hotel’s enchantment. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, and the food, wine, and service in the restaurant are all of excellent quality. A truly memorable stay.
Disliked: While our stay was memorable, there were a few aspects that didn’t quite meet expectations. The WiFi connection was very poor, which made it difficult to stay connected, and the in-room TV was not modern—lacking internet access, streaming capabilities, or casting options. The bathroom, although updated, was very small with only a compact shower cubicle, and unfortunately, there was a persistent unpleasant odour reminiscent of asparagus.Given the room rate, which is on par with quality 4- to 5-star hotels in London, I would have expected these elements to be of a higher standard. Additionally, while the food and service in the restaurant were excellent and worth the praise, guests should be aware that dining can significantly add to the overall cost. Our final invoice worked out to roughly £75–£80 per person per night for dinner, and that was with only light alcohol consumption.

Would recommend
