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.

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!

We have stayed a number of times at this hotel but on this occasion it was let down by a sub-standard bedroom which had a distinct drain smell and poor service (at the Cultra bar and at breakfast) which let down an otherwise very nice hotel. Certainly not the experience you would expect from a ‘luxury hotel’. Will give it a miss next time.

We had a wonderful day at Cultra Inn. We are new to the town, and from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. Nayeem, the hotel manager, was incredibly friendly, always smiling, and showed excellent knowledge and wonderful hospitality. Even though the place was very busy, his dedication to every guest was truly impressive. He gave special attention to our table, provided excellent service, and the lovely chats we had with him really made our day. We didn’t stay at the hotel this time, but because of Nayeem and the wonderful experience we had at Cultra Inn, we will definitely plan our next trip with a stay at the hotel. We will certainly be visiting Cultra Inn again. Thank you, Nayeem, for making our visit so memorable. Your hospitality made a real difference.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Culloden Estate & Spa last week and were thoroughly impressed from the moment we arrived. Our night in the Bishop’s Suite was everything one would hope for from a true five-star property — luxurious, spacious, and exceptionally comfortable. The staff throughout the hotel were outstanding. Every interaction was marked by genuine warmth and a sincere desire to be helpful. Their courtesy felt natural and professional, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful personal welcome card and the beautiful, delicious treat that greeted us upon arrival — a lovely touch that set the tone for the stay. After drinks at the hotel we headed out for dinner, returning to the comfort of the suite, and the following morning’s excellent breakfast. The Culloden combines historic grandeur with modern luxury and truly attentive service. We left highly impressed and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone seeking an outstanding stay near Belfast or in NI.
