About this property

Nestled in the hills above Contin, just 25 minutes from Inverness, this family-run country house hotel offers scenic surroundings, fine dining, and a relaxing atmosphere. Built in 1821, this unique building exudes traditional charm, complemented by eight acres of woodland and gardens with unspoiled mountain views. Each en-suite room is individually designed and varies in size and shape. The octagonal restaurant specializes in contemporary Scottish cuisine using fresh, local produce. Located in the Northern Highlands, it's an ideal base for exploring attractions like Dunrobin Castle, Rogie Waterfalls, Cawdor Castle, and the Glen Ord Whisky Distillery. Different policies and supplements apply for group bookings. To arrive, follow the A9 north over the Kessock Bridge, take the second left at the Tore roundabout onto the A835 towards Dingwall and Ullapool. At the next roundabout, take the second left to stay on the A835. Contin is about six miles further on. In Contin, the hotel's driveway is the third right after the petrol station, about 200 yards. The hotel is at the end of the half-mile gravel driveway.

10/10

We felt at home straight away, thanks to the warm welcome from Susannah, one of the owners, and the exceptional service from the staff, especially Chris in the bar. Dinner was excellent, and breakfast had plenty to choose from. Our room had a lovely view and the whole hotel was spotless. Coulhouse is beautiful and luxurious, with a gorgeous setting that looked especially lovely in the snow. We visited off season and found it excellent value. Loved our stay and would absolutely come back.

We couldn’t recommend this place more. The owners shared great suggestions for hikes, restaurants up north and trips around the Highlands, and the location also worked perfectly for visiting Dunrobin Castle. Everyone who worked there was so lovely, and the owners made us feel right at home. The food was outstanding and the service gracious. The Coul House was the most charming hotel, and the people there were the nicest we’ve met. An 11/10 experience!

The candlelit meals and fire added so much to the atmosphere, and our room and the grounds were stunning. My sister and I spent two wonderful nights at the Coul House during an 11 day tour of Scotland. The service was personable and gracious at every turn. Stuart and the staff made our stay memorable. It was truly a highlight of the trip.

Storm Amy brought down trees and knocked out the power during our two nights, but breakfast by candlelight and the glowing fire in the entry made it all feel even more magical. Stuart and Susannah have clearly put so much love into Coul House. The plush rooms, elegant dining, enormous garden trees and adorable fairy trail🧚‍♂️ all feel carefully thought out. Bella and Molly, the house pups, were part of the charm too, and the staff clearly take pride in their work. The owners set that tone. If you're heading to Scotland, book a night or two, and read Stuart's yearly updates in the welcome guide, they give you a real sense of Coul House. Thanks for a lovely stay!
