Coul Journey 2003 …

20 years on and still pedalling!

My wife and I are the proud owners of this quintessential Scottish county house hotel and are very hands on, working alongside our fabulous team. The house is situated peacefully in the hills above Contin, Ross-shire (just 25 minutes north of Inverness) with mature trees and beautiful gardens that have been lovingly created by our hard-working gardener Ana Ross. We take great pride in offering delicious food, a great wine list, a well-stocked bar, and a warm friendly welcome. Some would say Coul House is a deliciously relaxing place to stay.
