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.

We had a wonderful stay. Right from checking in, staff were attentive and accommodating. We were celebrating our anniversary & they kindly gave us muffins and macaroons in the room. Staff look after us really well, we felt they were always ready to assist when needed. Pool and spa is clean and has enough pool beds to relax.Our stay includes dinner at the cultra inn, everything was tasty especially the pork belly! Lough bar, has good selection of drinks and plenty of comfortable seats to relax. Breakfast was served in Vespers, they have a continental buffet and you can also order hot food. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and definitely worth for the price we pay. We cannot wait to go back with some family members.

Meal was absolutely beautiful The staff were amazing So attentive and warm Knew their food and beer choices I had the duck was so pink and delicious Sister had the fish with a bisque stunning The rooms lovely but too warm and idea of having to climb into the bath for your shower not ideal The bar after dinner set a nice theme and staff again were lovely I had the bramble as they had no mint fir the mojito But overall a great stay and a lovely team of people

My new fav spot for a night away without the kids! We had a King room, 208, great location few steps from the spa/pool. Cupcakes on arrival (thank you😁), and a massive bath and separate shower We went to the pool after check-in. I love the sofas and bar area, such a fab touch. You can order drinks, snacks etc and sit in your robe & enjoy. Went back down the following morning after breakfast. Great vibe about it. Didn’t use gym or treatments (last min booking) Had dinner in Cultra Inn for 8:15pm. Everything was delicious start to finish. Cozy, relaxed vibe. Also got a lift down from reception as it was raining! Would recommend Had a few in the Lough Bar before bed. Singer was a nice touch. Breakfast the next morning was lovely. Buffet of hot & cold. Soda bread, potato bread, all the usuals, poached eggs! I felt so relaxed the next day when leaving, was such a treat and will definitely be back.

Disappointing - management hovering around in suits but with no willingness to engage or interact with guests. Poorly trained staff, lack of menu knowledge. Actual surroundings beautiful but let down by a ‘laisez affaire’ attitude. Not good enough for the prices charged

I treated myself and my friend to a lovely day at the Spa and indulging in the wonderful facilities for a but of R&R. I was greated by the wonderful Judith at the desk who was kind and smiley. She welcomed us and also was very informed about the ESPA products on sale and we treated ourselves to a beautiful smelling defuser. Such a lovely day, treat and wonderful staff. We will be back!!
