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.

Exceptional in every aspect! From the view to the service to the food, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my daughter and I.

My initial impression was - wow! What a beautiful hotel. The view out to Belfast is stunning. It probably helped that we lucked out with the weather. From the moment we arrived, I found the service to be fantastic. Our room was lovely. Very comfy beds. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant but would have loved to have stayed long enough to try the bistro, too. Breakfast was also great. We were lucky to miss a bit of a queue that appeared after we'd sat down due to a big wedding at the hotel the previous night. On the second morning, we went down to the spa. It felt very luxurious - and really grown up space. The jacuzzi is soooo great and the view from the sauna is very relaxing. I didn't have time for a treatment but there seemed to be plenty on offer. Wish I could've stayed longer but had a wonderful time. Hope to return.
