About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for Culloden Estate & Spa
A romantic mid-week getaway just outside of Belfast, NI
A wonderful Estate with a great hotel, beautiful grounds and restaurants. Fantastic views from the rooms. All rooms are spacious with luxurious linen and amenities. Vespers Restaurant was closed but we enjoyed the Cultra Inn and Lough Bar for dinner, lunch and drinks. The breakfast was a exceptional, served in Vespers Restaurant, with great focus on locally sourced produce and products!! We enjoyed great hospitality and warm and friendly service from all the team members we have met. All the common areas were very clean and well-kept, even with a full house. We cannot wait to return. The outdoors looked inviting for the warmer months. Also great offerings for day time events, like a wreath-making class and afternoon tea in November!!

Sumptuous escape location
Fabulous hotel with lovely staff who are so helpful and friendly. Location is perfect with access to the city so convenient from the adjacent train station. The coastal walking route is also on the hotel doorstep. Like most hotels though the bedrooms are too warm

Troubling check in
Our biggest issue was checking in. I found the swimming pool shower cubical a tad grimmy and grubby and toilets near reception untidy in the evening. Also the bottled water in room was warm.

A magical place that you will return to again and again!
Regularly visit Belfast, but the location of the Culloden Estate, was a perceived barrier- but after staying there, I will never stay anywhere else again. If you want the best sleep you will ever have in a hotel, book the Culloden. From start to finish everything about this hotel put a smile on my face. The decor, the artwork (an unexpected bonus), the attention to detail, the excellent, friendly and happy staff, the delicious food… I can go on and on! It is pure luxury and I can’t imagine I will stay anywhere else going forward for my trips to Belfast.

Weekend at Culloden Estate
We had such an amazing and relaxing stay, thank you. Everyone made us feel so welcome for our first time in Belfast. This hotel has a stunning location, made better by our room upgrade with the loch view. What stands out the most is the food and the service, it was the best meal we’ve had in a while. Huge shout out to Cè and Leah in Vespers for their impeccable service! Superstars! We will be back! 🙂
