Culloden Estate & Spa

This hotel was a beautiful setting for a Wedding and extremely well run and comfortable for the guests staying. The weather was glorious that day so the views and the grounds around the hotel were stunning and immaculately kept, our room was a good size with plenty of storage and all the facilities and amenities you would expect, great attention to detail, extremely clean, the bed was very comfortable and luxurious, quiet and peaceful, there was water, tea, coffee, biscuits, hairdryer, iron+ironing board, bathrobes in the bedroom. The bathroom had a bath and a separate shower. I just couldn't find anything to fault.

We stayed at The Culloden Estate and Spa for our Silver Wedding Anniversary in July. What a fabulous time we had! The hotel is gorgeous with beautiful grounds in which to stroll and we loved the quirky statues. It’s also very handy that Cultra Station is a very short walk from the hotel, as are the Ulster Folk Museum and the Transport Museum. Our beautiful suite had an amazing view over Belfast Lough and so we could watch the Ferries and other shipping ply to and from Scotland/England and elsewhere. All the staff were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. They made the Anniversary for us with gifts of special cup cakes, special message cards, complimentary champagne at our Anniversary meal and warm and friendly chat. Special thanks go to Robyn (amazing Restaurant Manager), Sé, Laurie, Jessica, Megan, Leah, Conor and Reuben. As for the meals! The food was to die for and as much as possible, locally sourced, which we love. It was absolutely delicious. We ate in Vespers and on the patio and it was fabulous in both. We’d also like to thank the Reception team - Isabella, Xyza, and Jonathon for their welcome. We were amazed that Andre, Deputy General Manager, actually sought us out to check that all had gone well for us. It definitely had and we can’t wait to return next year. The attention to detail with contact beforehand was second to none. We’ve never before used hotel gym or spa facilities, but this time we did, and weren’t disappointed. There were just so many options! The gym is well stocked and the pool/poolside is very attractive. We’re now actively considering taking up gym membership back home - something I would never before have considered! What was very interesting was seeing the number of local people who were staying there. Always a good sign. We’d also been told by others in the area, “Oh you’ll enjoy staying there! It’s fabulous!” We’re very glad we chose to spend our Silver Wedding Anniversary at The Culloden Estate and Spa. It was absolutely the right choice. Thank you, all for making it so very special.

Brilliant, will be back! Great room, lovely views. Staff really pleasant. Tasty breakfast. Spa/treatments nice also

Stayed with my husband for a last minute spa break. Welcomed by a lovely concierge who directed us to our room and explained everything about the hotel. Stright to the spa for a much needed relaxing afternoon. Spa was spotlessly clean and not too crowded which was great. Then enjoyed the good weather in the Bollinger garden. Gary the bar manager was lovely and recommended a tasty pineapple and ginger spritz which was so refreshing. Music and setting was excellent and added to the chilled vibe we wanted. Had dinner in the lough bar. Scampi starter was huge, crispy batter and homemade tarter sauce. Hubby had a steak and I had the seabass, the olive oil mash with the fish was the best i ever had! Dessert was a seasonal strawberry baked Alaska and the meringue was so soft and fluffy. All served by kyle who was chatty and knowledgeable with answers to all our questions. Finished the night with a beautiful spicy margherita courtesy of Kyle. Would highly recommend a stay here.
