Culloden Estate & Spa

8/10 Good
"If I had been travelling as a couple I’m sure that I would’ve had a much more enjoyable experience! I was allocated a room with an adjoining door and was told that was what I could expect for my rate! In fairness the Manager did offer to change my room but at 10.30pm when I was in bed!!! Changed room the next day as had no sleep as I was actually frighted as lights and noises from the room next door woke me at 3.30am! I was allocated a room but of lower quality but at least it didn’t have an adjoining door! The sheets were like sandpaper so had to sleep on a robe! Breakfast was ok and at least surprisingly I was offered a window seat. Although both mornings I was never offered anything different from the kitchen although I heard one waiter offer it to the table next to me! The spa was faultless! Definite 5⭐️ The grounds are indeed splendid and the hotel very clean but my experience definitely wasn’t 5⭐️although I was provided with a written apology, a box of chocolates & free breakfast which I hadn’t really time to enjoy! I would return but as a couple as felt a bit like a second class citizen being a sole female traveller! I hope an important celebrity enjoyed her stay more than I did !! Sorry but you are supposed to be 5⭐️and that should be for every guest !"
