Beautiful hotel with wonderful staff
Pros:

The Culloden is a fabulous hotel! The hotel and bedrooms are beautiful, everything exceeded my expectations. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the customer service was the best I've ever received in any hotel. The spa was lovely, my mum got a massage and said it was very relaxing. We had food in the Cultra Inn which was within the Culloden grounds and the food was delicious.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great
