Culloden Estate & Spa

We stayed the night of 7 October to celebrate our wedding anniversary, having been married at the Culloden in 1995. We have stayed on occasions since then as well as Afternoon teas, but we wanted to stay on our anniversary this time. From start to finish the standard of service was impeccable. A warm welcome at reception, friendly and informative in the spa area. We were privileged and very grateful for the upgrade to a suite (Muirfield), it made our stay so special. And the muffins and card were really appreciated. We had our dinner at Vespers and the food was outstanding. I want to give a special thank you to Sé, Scarlett and Ben. Scarlett and Ben were professional yet friendly, attentive and informative about the menu and made our dinner experience wonderful. Sé is the consummate manager and leader. He appeared to remember us from previous attendances at the Culloden and indeed he has been present at two afternoon teas we’ve attended. Sé was so warm and friendly in greeting us, attentive to our needs and it was lovely to see him let his staff shine. From start to finish the Vespers experience was first class.

Staying at the Culloden Estate & Spa was an incredible experience for our family visiting from Norway. From the moment we rolled up to a red carpet welcome and the staff kindly helped with our luggage, the check-in process with the lovely young receptionists was warm, kind, and completely hassle-free. Stepping into our room, we were amazed by how spacious and impeccably clean it was—especially the bathroom. During our two-night stay, it truly felt like our home away from home in Belfast. Getting around the hotel was a highlight for all of us. The stunning architecture made us feel like we were staying in a real castle, and the kids were completely overwhelmed with wonder! We also loved spending time together in the family pool and spa, and borrowing the hotel bicycles allowed us to explore more of the beautiful surroundings. Choosing this hotel made our autumn vacation complete and completely satisfying. We flew back to Norway with great stories to tell and beautiful memories to keep. Thank you to the entire team!

I had a lovely weekend stay at the Culloden with my friends to celebrate our birthdays. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Lauren and James. We stayed in the beautiful Bishop’s Suite with an amazing view of Strangford Lough. The staff left us notes in our room wishing us happy birthday which was such a nice surprise to start our stay. We had dinner and drinks at the Lough bar, where we had amazing service from Rose, Cormac, Tav, Kyle and Reuben. The food and drinks were delicious as well. Overall, I had a brilliant time and the lovely staff made it even more special. Thank you so much for making our birthday trip so memorable!

the location, views from the room and the amazing staff makes this the very best hotel in Belfast to stay at
