A hotel with 12th-century origins in Dingwall, popular as a stopover on the North Coast 500 route. Reviewers consistently praise the staff - one recalls the chef giving an impromptu tour of the building - and rate it as a memorable, dog-friendly base rather than a destination castle in its own right.

Worth the trip

The staff's willingness to talk you through the building's history informally - several reviewers mention a spontaneous tour or chat that added real depth to the stay.

Before you go

It's dog-friendly with both a casual pub-grub option and a fine-dining option on site, useful if you're travelling the NC500 and want flexibility after a long driving day.

Most reviewers rate Tulloch Castle Hotel highly, describing a memorable and unique castle stay with friendly, welcoming staff and good food, including praise for Christmas packages and breakfast. One reviewer found their room a little odd and noted the building's maze-like hallways, thin walls and an oddly bulky room key caused some noise disruption, though they still considered it decent value compared with pricier castle stays.
