Coul House Hotel, Strathpeffer

Coul House is a secluded country house hotel with 20 en suite bedrooms, a great restaurant, many log fires and spectacular views. We are pet friendly with easy access to miles of forest walks.

The house sits majestically at the end of a half mile driveway, set in eight acres of mature woodlands offering the peace and serenity which many dream of.

Originally built in 1821 for Sir George Mackenzie as a traditional hunting lodge, Coul House has stunning views over the Strathconon Valley and Achilty mountains beyond, eight acres of mature woodland, private nine hole pitch and putt and a unique octagonal dining room make it an ideal venue for a quiet getaway, small wedding or conference.

Only 20 miles North West of Inverness, you can easily cruise Loch Ness, visit Macbeth’s Cawdor Castle, even sail to the Orkney Isles and still be back in time for dinner!

There are attractions and activities for everyone including the local Glen Ord and Glen Morangie whisky distilleries, fly fishing, clay pigeon shooting, stalking, rough hunts, world-class golf at either Nairn or Royal Dornoch and many other local golfing gems, hiking, biking, pony trekking and dolphin watching cruises.

The Dining Room offers traditional Scottish cuisine with a contemporary flair, the imaginative menu features Scottish game, local salmon and of course our homemade breads, pastries and desserts.

Coul House is the perfect place to base oneself to rediscover the romance and beauty of the highlands – certainly a destination where one should plan on staying for more than just a couple of nights.
