DESCRIPTION:
Offering
country house living at its finest, Culloden House is an 18th
century Georgian mansion set in forty acres of private grounds. The history
of the house is such that at the time of the Jacobite rising in 1745-1746,
it was requisitioned by Bonnie Prince Charlie as his lodging and headquarters
prior to that fateful, final battle at Culloden Moor in April 1746. Today,
guests are free to wander the elegant lawns and parkland, which effuse
peace and tranquility.
The public
rooms at Culloden House, including a magnificent drawing room, boast chandeliers,
marble fireplaces, ornate plasterwork and antiques, while its bedrooms
are individually decorated and uphold the character of the house. Each
of the 28 guestrooms, ranging from opulent period suites and master rooms
to contemporary standard rooms, is of course en-suite and is equipped
with every modern facility, catering for the guests every whim.
The refined
restaurant at the hotel offers an ever-changing five-course menu, prepared
by Master Chef Michael Simpson using the finest Scottish produce, while
to accompany the fine cuisine, guests may choose from over 120 wines and
30 malt whiskies. Having played some of the worlds finest golf courses,
Inverness is the ideal base from which to explore the incredible beauty
of the Highlands. Among others, the Moray Firth and Loch Ness wait to
be discovered.
