Culloden Estate & Spa

We had a very enjoyable stay at the hotel with my daughter and would definitely come back. From the moment we checked in, Megan at reception was extremely polite, friendly and informative, which was a lovely start to our stay. Our room was lovely, with a nice view overlooking the garden. It was also very conveniently located close to the spa, making it easy for us to use the swimming pool. We had a lovely dinner in the Lough Bar. The service was very good and the food was delicious. Breakfast the following morning was another highlight. The service was impeccable, and Tasha and Megan were both incredibly pleasant and looked after us very well. A particularly nice touch was the children’s gift pack we received. My daughter absolutely loved it, and it was a lovely little extra that made her stay even more special. Overall, we had a fantastic family-friendly stay. The hotel is clearly very welcoming to children, and I would definitely return. Pro tip for families: If you’re planning to use the pool, ask for a room on the second floor it’s the closest to the spa and pool area, which makes things much more convenient.

Wonderful stay. Staff were extremely helpful. Our room was very comfortable and enjoyed the spa facilities too.

We stayed for one night at the Culloden Hotel, and from beginning to end, it was a truly gorgeous experience. Our room was beautiful, and the surrounding grounds were equally stunning. We also made use of the spa facilities, which were excellent and added to the feeling of being completely relaxed and pampered. Breakfast was of a really high quality, with plenty of choice and everything we could have wished for. The service throughout our stay was excellent, and we would happily recommend the Culloden Hotel to anyone looking to enjoy a luxurious, relaxing and memorable experience. We would also particularly like to highlight the outstanding service we received from Joel. He was extremely pleasant to chat with and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. His warm and friendly manner was a real credit to the hotel. Thank you to everyone at the Culloden for making our stay so enjoyable. We look forward to returning!

My fiancée and I were looking for a relaxing overnight break and decided to finally stay at the Culloden Hotel & Spa. We had passed the hotel many times and had even walked around the beautiful grounds, but had never actually stayed there - and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we arrived, we were really impressed. We had a beautiful suite with stunning views towards the sea, and the whole room felt luxurious, peaceful and incredibly comfortable. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and we had a fantastic night’s sleep. The bathroom was excellent and the room had everything we could have wanted. We genuinely had no complaints about the accommodation. The staff were also wonderful. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful, but the front desk team in particular couldn’t have done more to answer our questions and make us feel welcome. There are some lovely spaces throughout the hotel to sit and enjoy a coffee in the afternoon or have a drink in the evening. Everything feels very peaceful and relaxing. The grounds are beautiful to walk around, and being so close to the coast is a real bonus. One afternoon we enjoyed a lovely walk along the coastline to Helen’s Bay and back, which was a perfect way to spend a few hours. The spa was another highlight. The pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were all lovely, and it never felt particularly busy during our stay. We were easily able to get loungers one afternoon and spend some time relaxing by the pool. There’s also a little café which is a nice addition. It would be nice to have a few more options at the café. We did eat at the Cultra Inn one evening, This is probably the one part of the stay we felt was a little less impressive. The menu could perhaps be improved a little and the experience could have been slightly more attentive. This was a relatively small part of our stay, though, and certainly didn’t detract from everything else. And then there was breakfast - quite honestly, one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had. From the beautiful homemade porridge and locally sourced meats to the delicious cooked breakfast and the wide range of other options, there was so much to enjoy. Add to that the stunning setting, and it really was exceptional. Breakfast alone would be enough to make us want to return! Overall, we absolutely loved our stay. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed and very well looked after. The Culloden is a fantastic place for an overnight escape or a couple of days away, particularly if you’re visiting Northern Ireland. It’s peaceful and feels like a real getaway, while still being so close to Belfast city centre. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Culloden and will definitely be back.

Amazing time at the Spa. Massage was lovely. Spa was very relaxing. Always have a lovely time at this hotel.
