Coulhouse is beautiful and luxurious in a gorgeous setting (especially with the snow). We had a lovely view from our room and the whole place was spotlessly clean. We received a warm welcome from the lovely Susannah (one of the owners) and from the onset we felt quite at home! Service from all staff was exceptional especially Chris in the bar. Great breakfast selection. Dinner options were also good and the food was exceptional. We stayed off season and the value for money was excellent. We would absolutely stay again. Loved it!

I reserved a table for two for my wife's birthday lunch. We were welcomed most graciously and seated in the bar area and offered drinks. The log burning fire was lit and the atmosphere became most festive and cosy. The hotel was tastefully decorated throughout with Christmas trees etc. Not tacky if you know what I mean. We were then taken to our table for and the staff remembered the bottle of champagne on ice that I had suggested when I booked three months previously. The food was excellent. I pride myself on being a reasonably good cook at home but chef excelled today and I realise that I am but a novice . One has to experience the sea-food pancake!! The champagne was delicious. The service and attention was exemplary. The sommelier knew his wines and his recommendation was top class and truly to my palate. Such a relaxed and enjoyable three hours. We will definitely be going back for my birthday and hoping to stay overnight for two days. Thanks to all for making my wife's birthday meal a wonderful memory. JJW

We stayed 17-19/11/25 in room 6. We were warmly welcomed at the door and shown to our room. Our dog was made to also feel welcomed. On the first day we had afternoon tea which was made to order and fresh , the scones were amazing and the homemade Jam was delicious, I’m not usually a jam person. The Breakfast on both mornings was made to order, nothing was any trouble. We ate in the dining room on the second evening and took Stuart’s recommendation of the Guinea fowl and the lambs livers for our main courses and they were amazing. Having grown up with fried to death liver I was wary but when I was advised on how the liver was seared at the the end of the prep I went with Stuart’s judgement and was not in the slightest bit disappointed, it was beautiful. Our room was spacious and comfortable and I honestly couldn’t find fault in our stay. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to get away for a few days or longer. There are many decent walks around and my dog had fun playing with the others that were staying or running round the ample gardens. The hosts and the staff were all amazing.

“Lovely place but some improvement in the kitchen required”

Absolutely lovely old country house hotel in its own attractive grounds.Very comfortable room with outlook towards the mountains.We had dinner which was good though my Roast Turkey and all the trimmings was, I have to say, only a patch on my own home cooked version a few days later.Turkey was nice… lisää

Absolutely lovely old country house hotel in its own attractive grounds.Very comfortable room with outlook towards the mountains.We had dinner which was good though my Roast Turkey and all the trimmings was, I have to say, only a patch on my own home cooked version a few days later.Turkey was nice but roast potatoes weren’t roasted,a bit soggy and no nice crunchy exterior which was very disappointing.Stuffing did not seem home made, two tiny slices and very tasteless and pale. My husband’s steak was good. However, the Xmas pudding was really good. I did try the porridge next morning but it was -as seems to be the case everywhere these days - really quite awful.Watery, tasteless and actually more like gruel.Don’t know why chefs can’t make even half decent porridge these days.It’s the simplest thing but needs decent quality oatmeal to start with and cooked with milk.The difference is incredible!
