Culloden Hotel

Wouldn’t stay here don’t see what the hype is about. Seriously the food is not 5 star quality. Try the Merchant now that is class!

I stayed in the Culloden recently as an overnight treat at Easter and was left decidely underwhelmed. The room was nice, but in spite of the hotel being half empty we were given a room with a view of the carpark instead of the seaview. (I would have complained but bf was paying and didn’t want to make a fuss /​seem an ingrate!)
We didn’t eat our dinner in the restaurant (had nice fish ‘n’ chips in Bangor instead!) but returned in time to use the spa. This was the bit that blew my mind for all the wrong reasons. There were three staff in the place, all clearly itching to be elsewhere, and the women’s changing room looked like a tornado had gone through it. I was genuinely disgusted with the mess — abandoned towels everywhere, empty glasses lying round, showers not working — most definitely not 5 star! I would have been more understanding if it had been really busy and understaffed — but the place was empty and the three staff were pleasant but not in any hurry to clear up!
I would have given the hotel 2 stars, but for the lovely breakfast. We won’t be going back — I’ve been in much nicer 4 stars!

5 star hotel with excellent health club and spa
