Culrain accommodation from NZ$251

Excellent castle manor building with a relaxed vibe and attentive staff. Great views across the Cromarty Firth and nice grounds. Watch for the ponies, rabbits, birds and roaming robot mowers! Breakfast and food in the restaurant is very good. Lounge and bar are very comfortable and the whole place is tastefully decorated. We had a large attic room which was warm and comfortable.

Friendly staff, lovely breakfast and a comfortable single room ( on the ground floor…. Hooray!!) Great for an overnight on the way south (or north!)

This is a beautiful hotel. Arrived for an overnight stay, booked standard king, checked in, was given a standard twin, as it’s same cost, we accepted, it didn’t matter. Room was pretty small but nice, not a great view, but was adequate with a very small wardrobe (4 hangers), wardrobe had no other storage space, as top shelf had the room safe, iron, fan etc stored there. Now here’s the weird thing, there were no drawers anywhere in the room to store underwear, T-shirts, jumpers etc. Called down to reception thinking we must be making a mistake only to be advised “You are correct there are no storage drawers for clothing in this room or any other”!! After further discussion with the very nice duty manager we were upgraded to a bigger room, really lovely, but still no storage drawers. Not sure what we would have done if we had been there for a week or where the many golfers who are there store anything. As it was, a few items went in the wardrobe and the rest stayed in our holdalls! I will repeat, this is a great hotel, beautiful location, good staff, clean, very nice bar area, lovely breakfast. However, invest in what every other hotel has, a couple of drawers for clothes in the bedrooms and maybe one in the bathroom.
