We decided to splash out on a night of luxury while going through the Highlands, unfortunately this hotel - now taken over by Swallow hotels - didn't live up to expectations. The staff were lovely, a very helpful duty manager checked us in and out. However, our room was comparatively small and frankly basic. A stingly selection of toiletries and tea, coffee etc accompanied it. The decor was faded and 70's, the room was by a fire door that banged every time someone walked past it, the bath had a replacement panel 'tacked' onto it with the nails still extending, the shower had tape holding it together and you could barely shut the windows. We ate in the bar and the food was well-priced and tasty and the staff cheerful, although judging by the speed the food arrived, it had to be microwaved and not cooked from fresh. it was £110 a night double B and B and I have stayed in far better places for half the price, it is worth around £30 a night for what we got. In sum, extortionate for what they provide.

We stayed here the first night of our honeymoon. The manager checked us in and he is the most fantastic hotel manager I've ever met. Friendly and approachable, and did everything he could to make our stay perfect, even bringing strawberries and champagne to our room in the evening.

After the fuss of the wedding, we fancied simpler food so opted for the bar rather than the restaurant, but the meals we had were wonderful. They even apologised a few times for our dinner being delayed, when my husband had ordered duck which we knew takes a while to cook - proof that it was done from scratch!

The honeymoon suite was fantastic, it was massive and just everything in it was beautiful, plus there was a relaxing view of fields and sheep with water and hills in the background.

We left feeling 100% revived. Will definetly go back at some point.

We arrived in the early afternoon at Tulloch Castle to a relatively quiet hotel, and were immediately impressed by the reeption area. We had booked a double room, and were met by the duty manager who checked us in quickly and with a smile. He upgraded us, free of charge, to one of the four-poster rooms. I would pay money to have seen our faces when we were shown to our room and it is hard to describe how shocked we both were. The room was enormous: two large windows with amazing views out over Dingwall and the Cromarty Firth, enough space to hold a ceilidh, a bathroom with shower and tub (big enough for us both to get in to) and a queen-sized four-poster bed taking pride of place. Neither of us could believe it.

We felt like royalty throughout our stay, even more so when we went for dinner. The food was exceptional, the service was excellent and we were seated at a wee secluded alcove in the corner. I told the Spanish lassie with me to expect some Highland hospitality, but this was something else.

The room was very welcoming after dinner and we had plenty of fun until we fell asleep.

Breakfast was great (especially the strawberry and champagne jam), and the staff were unfailingly helpful in helping us organise transport. We can't recommend the Tulloch highly enough. We expected to have a good time, but the staff and the hotel itself made this an extra special stay, which will live long in our memories.

We had our wedding reception at the hotel in the Oak Room. It was a small affair, there being only eight of us, but they made the room look fantastc. The staff are only too happy to help and nothing is too much trouble. It was a busy period, the week before Christmas, but everything ran smoothly. The bedroom we had in the tower was WONDERFUL. Other guest's rooms were equally as nice, and well decorated. The food is tastey and theres plenty of it, but the restaurant is a little expensive.
The lounge area is just what you'd want from a Scottish Castle, if you get the seats in front of the fire.
If you are looking for a wee bit of Scotland you couldn't go wrong with this hotel.
