Coul House Hotel

Country house north of Inverness where dogs roam everywhere but the dining room

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
An 1821 country house in its own grounds at Contin, twenty minutes north west of Inverness on the road towards Ullapool and the North Coast 500. The house has an octagonal drawing room, log fires and a kitchen that cooks properly. It is a first-night or last-night stop for people doing the north west loop. The dog policy is one of the most open in the Highlands, with dogs allowed throughout the hotel apart from the formal dining areas.

Why it's in the collection

Rogie Falls with its salmon leap and the forest tracks through Torrachilty are about two miles up the road, and the hotel's own grounds give you a loop before breakfast without getting in the car.

Dogs are permitted throughout the hotel apart from the formal dining areas, which covers the lounges, the bar and the grounds. Add the dog at the Bring Your Dog step when you book online. The hotel asks that dogs stay off the furniture.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
