Rooms

20 bedrooms, each of which is individually decorated in keeping with the character of the house.

Restaurant

Dining at Coul House is a real experience. The octagonal dining room has a 18 foot ceiling, a fire place and three ceiling to floor windows with fabulous views of the Strathconon Valley and the mountains beyond.

 

Coul House was built in 1821 for Sir George Mackenzie. The Mackenzies of Coul had owned a house here since 1560, and in the 19th century decided to build themselves a new mansion.

The house, which was visited by Queen Victoria in 1888, is a listed Grade A building, almost perfectly symmetrical in shape.

 

Coul House is a category A listed building, meaning that it is historically significant architecturally. Glance at any of the ground floor ceilings and you will see why; with ornate plaster work and fine craftsmanship the house is truly unique.

The centerpiece of the house is a grand octagonal room, which we use as our main dining room. Most of the public rooms have log fires and stunning views.

 

Some of the building stone came from Cullicudden on the Black Isle, and was transported up the Dingwall canal and then by road to Coul; brick came from Brora, Sutherland, and slate from Easdale, Argyll.

Restaurant

Dining at Mansfield Castle is a memorable experience. The elegant dining room boasts wonderful picture windows overlooking the castle grounds which are floodlit at night.

The lands on which Mansfield Castle sits dates from 10th November 1772 and changed hands several times before it passed to George Murray, Merchant, of Tain on 6th October 1801 and from then on became known as Mansfield.

On 15th September 1802 it was transferred to Charles Ross, Esquire and Advocate of Invercharron, who sold it again on 10th February 1803 to Hugh Rose, Esquire of Glastullich.

SELF CATERING COTTAGES

Brahan Seaforth Country Estate

You don’t need to own your own home in the country to experience holidaying in the great outdoors. At the Brahan Estate in the Scottish Highlands, you will find beautiful scenery and lots of things to do.

 

Hidden away amongst our 4000 acres of Ross-shire countryside, just 30 minutes north of the city of Inverness, are 15 cottages and homes of all sizes which can accommodate couples, families or even larger parties and corporate outings.

 

There are still beautifully overgrown gardens to explore, long driveways lined with exotic trees, dark lochs and swampy ponds bustling with birdlife, and the mature River Conon winding its way gracefully through the Estate, around secluded islands and out across its estuarine mudflats into the Cromarty Firth.

Brahan is the name given to the land on which much of Seaforth Highland Country Estate lies: here stood Brahan Castle, traditional home of the Seaforths, the Chiefs of Clan MacKenzie, which for centuries was the setting of many a romantic episode in both the Jacobite Risings and the religious struggles that seized the Highlands when the MacKenzies were at the peak of their power.

It was here, on the steps of Brahan Castle, that the Jacobite MacKenzies became the first defeated clan forced to surrender their arms and swear allegiance to the English Crown. And it was here, a few years later, that a famous royal regiment was raised, the Seaforth Highlanders, taking over 500 men from the estate alone.
