Tulchan Lodge Review

This place offers elegant accommodations and a vivid glimpse into the grandeur of country living during the height of the British Empire. Indeed, the Tulchan has been the subject of numerous PBS programs. It was built in 1906 by the founder of the McCorquodale publishing empire, who conceived it as a symbol of the power of the British press. If you stay in the main house, expect relatively formal evenings with a daytime emphasis on the sporting life. Guests eat at a communal dining table. Scattered across the undulating grounds are seven houses (the staff members refer to them as "cottages" even though some contain five bedrooms), suitable for between four and nine occupants. The cottages each have fully equipped kitchens and a decor that reflects the elegance of the main house. Favored mostly by fishermen, they do not include meal service, and are rented exclusively by the week.

Facilities:
Babysitting; tennis court

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
