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 bad experience at the start but the hotel couldn’t have been more helpful We were given free drinks a reduction off the bill and afternoon tea for 2 which was delicious They went out of their way to make it up to us We slept really well and the breakfast was delicious They went out grounds were brilliant with lots of statues and a beautiful stained glass window inside Jut disappointed I couldn’t get the St patricks day duck as i have collected lots of them over the years but don’t have that one

What a wonderful location to have a Wedding. Superb staff and a true Northern Irish welcome for our guests from around the world.

Took my mum for afternoon tea on Saturday and it was amazing. Staff were attentive and friendly, especially Shay who couldn't have done enough for us. Food was beautiful and we went for cocktails in the main bar after which were delicious. Would definitely go back and recommend to anyone wanting a bit of luxury

Went for an afternoon tea for a Birthday Celebration but we did not tell the hotel when it was booked . Arrival the place itself is stunning the views are outstanding the hotel is spotless . We were looked after By Robin throughout our Afternoon Tea and nothing ws too much trouble the food was devine . Our needs were catered for well including a Vegan Afternoon Tea Selection and to top it all when we advised Robin it was my nieces birthday they both received a lovely Happy Birthday Message with a cup cake each . We could not fault any element of our visit and we will be returning soon to stay overnight as well .

Fabulous afternoon tea! Staff were friendly, welcoming and very attentive. Afternoon tea was served in the beautiful surroundings of Vespers. Very relaxing! All food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were offered regular top up of tea and fresh water. Staff checked in to ensure we were enjoying our food. One of the best afternoon teas we have enjoyed. We will not hesitate to recommend and will certainly be returning soon.
