Culloden House
About
Culloden House is a magnificent Grade A listed Georgian country house set within 40 acres of woodland, walled gardens and manicured lawns in the heart of Inverness. Built in the 18th century and renovated by the celebrated architect Robert Adam, the mansion boasts elegant Adam plasterwork, crystal chandeliers and marble fireplaces that echo its storied past. The hotel’s heritage is intertwined with the Jacobite uprisings, for the house served as the lodging and headquarters of Bonnie Prince Charlie before the Battle of Culloden. Guests are welcomed to experience the extraordinary blend of historic grandeur and modern luxury. The property offers a range of rooms and suites, each uniquely decorated with classic furnishings and contemporary amenities such as free Wi‑Fi, a personal telephone and a Bluetooth‑connected music system. The expansive walled garden and adjacent green lawns provide a serene backdrop, while the on‑site Ferintosh Whisky Bar offers an impressive selection of rare Scotch malts and a cozy ambience overlooking the lawns. Fine dining is available in the Adam Dining Room, where a menu of locally sourced Scottish produce – including Loch Fyne salmon, sweet Orkney crab and Scotch beef fillet – is presented with refined elegance. Lunch, afternoon tea and early evening meals can be booked by telephone or online, and the hotel also offers whisky tastings for residents, wine pairings and a variety of private dining options. Whether you are exploring the surrounding landmarks such as Culloden Battlefield or simply enjoying the tranquility of the estate, Culloden House promises an unforgettable Highland hospitality experience.
