Culloden Estate & Spa

We had a wonderful stay and, most importantly, experienced some truly exceptional hospitality from the management team. We initially had a few issues when we arrived, including our daughter’s bed not being set up and a safety concern with the bed frame. I reached out to the General Manager, Cormac, and he responded incredibly quickly. He came to speak with us personally, genuinely listened to our concerns, and went above and beyond to make things right. The following evening, we were upgraded to a fantastic suite in the hotel, which was absolutely beautiful and made our stay so much more memorable. Cormac also took the time to give us wonderful recommendations for our next stop in Dublin, which we really appreciated. And the sweetest touch was a bag of goodies he left in the suite for our 4-year-old daughter. She was absolutely thrilled! What could have been a disappointing experience was completely turned around because of Cormac’s genuine care for his guests and willingness to take ownership of the situation. His personal attention, responsiveness, and hospitality really stood out to us. We traveled throughout Ireland as part of a larger Europe trip and stayed at several beautiful hotels, but this experience reminded us that great hospitality isn't just about the room—it’s about how you're treated when something doesn't go perfectly. Cormac handled the situation with such professionalism and kindness that it ultimately left a very positive impression on our family. We would absolutely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again. A very special thank you to Cormac for going above and beyond and making our family feel genuinely valued and welcomed. He is a tremendous asset to the hotel, and his hospitality deserves to be recognized

Had an absolutely amazing stay in this hotel. From the phone call on the day before our arrival to the email we received on the day after our departure everything about this hotel was beautiful. The staff are warm and friendly but without the air of pretension associated with properties of this level. We had dinner in the Cultra Inn and drinks in The Lough Bar...both were very enjoyable experiences. I cannot think of one disappointment during our stay , except that we were not staying longer.

The Culloden was the first hotel on our bus tour and it set the bar very high for all the hotels that followed. The setting is beautiful and the hotel itself Is stunning. We had a spacious, well equipped and very quiet room. Service was exceptional, as were the professional and very friendly staff. We enjoyed delicious meals in the elegant formal dining room ( there is a more casual dining venue a short walk away) and relaxing evenings in the cozy and welcoming lounge. A stroll around the beautifully maintained grounds revealed a number of fascinating sculptures. I’m sorry we only had two nights in this exceptional hotel. We would happily have stayed longer!

Lovely stay overall, but several quality issues — dining, bar crowding, bed comfort, and payment transparency — kept it from feeling fully premium for the price.

Another incredible stay back at Culloden on Friday evening and had the pleasure of experiencing one of their newly refurbished rooms. A huge thank you to every member of the team, who always makes me feel welcome every time I return - from arrival and front desk to housekeeping, the spa, F&B - everyone makes it truly warm and welcoming! Looking forward to returning in a few weeks to host our Annual Award event in the Stuart Suite and to experience the fabulous hospitality once again! Thank you Team Culloden!
