It’s That Coul Time of Year Again…

There’s something rather special about autumn in the Scottish Highlands.
The leaves begin to turn, the air becomes a little crisper, the evenings draw in — and the fires are lit once again at Coul House Hotel.
Yes, it’s that Coul time of year again.
Set amongst the beautiful Highland scenery of Contin, and only around 25 minutes north of Inverness, Coul House is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy everything this season has to offer.
Cosy Autumn Days in the Highlands
Autumn brings a completely different character to the Highlands.
Woodland walks become a patchwork of gold, red and copper, the surrounding hills take on their autumn colours, and cooler days provide the perfect excuse to return to the hotel and warm up beside a roaring fire.
Whether your idea of an autumn break involves exploring the countryside, visiting nearby Highland attractions or simply finding a comfortable chair and enjoying a good book, there is no need to rush.
Sometimes that is exactly the point.
Explore the Highlands From Coul House
Our location in Contin makes Coul House an ideal base for discovering this beautiful part of Scotland.
You can spend the day exploring the surrounding countryside, take scenic drives through the Highlands, visit local villages and attractions or simply enjoy a peaceful walk before returning to the warmth of the hotel.
And with Inverness approximately 25 minutes away, Coul House is easily accessible while still offering the peace and tranquillity of a genuine Highland escape.
Good Food, Warm Fires and Highland Hospitality
After a day outdoors, there are few things better than returning to a warm hotel, settling beside the fire and looking forward to dinner.
At Coul House, autumn is all about those simple pleasures — welcoming surroundings, delicious food and the chance to relax and enjoy a little Highland hospitality.
Add a glass of something you enjoy, good company and the crackle of the fire, and suddenly the darker evenings don’t seem quite so bad.
Plan Your Autumn Escape
If you have been thinking about escaping to the Highlands this autumn, now is a wonderful time to visit.
Come and enjoy the colours, the scenery, the crisp Highland air — and, of course, those cosy evenings beside the fire.
Because it’s that Coul time of year again.
