Although it's just 6 miles east of Belfast's vibrant city center, Culloden Estate & Spa feels like a secluded country retreat. This Irish landmark was originally built as an official palace for the Bishop of Down, and is tucked into 12 acres of gardens and woodland. With their cozy country house furnishings, many guestrooms and suites gaze over the grounds toward Belfast Lough. Savor fresh Irish produce at Mitre Restaurant, and enjoy a convivial drink with fellow guests in the garden setting of the Cultra Inn. To soothe away the cares of modern life, Elysium Spa offers an indulgent selection of specialized treatments.

Driving up to the beautiful Culloden Estate, it was dark and raining. As we stopped our car at the front door, two of the wonderful staff ( Neemah and James) instantly ran out to help with the bags. After Tripping in to check in to the friendly front desk clerk and lamenting about my curly hair in the Irish weather, our bags were quickly taken to our room. The room was beautiful but before we could unpack, my husband noticed he couldn’t open the safe. One quick call to front desk and a minute later, the gentleman who brought our bags was back to fix the safe. Fixed in a few seconds, we hurried down to the amazing bar to calm our nerves from the rainy “drive on the left” trip to Belfast from Dublin. Who do we see greeting guests? Again, Neemah and James. I asked if they had twins? The expresso martini at the bar area was the best I’ve ever had and bar staff so kind and attentive. My husband had asked Neemah about the building and he appeared again to ask if we’d like to tour certain parts. Would we??? This estate is amazing so you can imagine our surprise and delight at being told we were being upgraded to a suite! Everything was absolutely perfect, staff, food, the suite, the view. We cannot give it enough stars. Culloden and its staff, especially Neemah, treated us like family. Family that they love.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always wanted to stay at this hotel having seen photos of the grounds and inside of it. The room we got was just beautiful and the bed was really comfy. The hotel itself is just gorgeous with lots of wee nooks to have some privacy to just sit and enjoy the views of the Bay. The grounds are beautifully maintained and very peaceful for a nice dander. The staff literally are so efficient, helpful and eager to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. The spa is just gorgeous and so relaxing. I’ve been to another more renowned & overpriced spa in Antrim (The G) and literally would prefer this one hands down. The breakfast was scrumptious with plenty of variety and choice of food. Would recommend to anyone to try this place for a peaceful break.

I stay at the Culloden regularly as I have elderly relatives who need my support. I have never been let down by this hotel.

Such a wonderful experience. Extremely friendly staff. The room was pristine and the food to a high standard. The grounds are immaculately kept with stunning views over Belfast Lough. The car park is spacious and conveniently situated. Warm Cosy friendly atmosphere we are looking forward to returning.

Our first time here and I’m sure not the last. Beautiful room overlooking the Lough. Very comfortable bed and all the amenities we needed (the iron was a little lack lustre however). The Spa was enjoyable and relaxing. On a slight negative point, we thought the pre cooked breakfast wasn’t great for a 5 star hotel. That said I know we could have ordered from the menu, I just felt it let the tone down slightly. The service from everyone was perfect and I really felt that nothing was too much trouble for you (especially getting us a taxi at short notice). Many thanks again
