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.

What a magnificent hotel to visit Belfast from, indulgent luxury, charming hosts and exceptional comfort place this hotel as one of the top 3 in our tour of Ireland. We were fortunate to take dinner in the Vespers and were so well looked after by Se and Laurie who ensured that a veritable great was served with great conversation, detailed knowledge and a most friendly demeanour - thank you both for a terrific experience!

I recently had the privilege of attending a wedding at this beautiful hotel. The venue was absolutely stunning and the staff were friendly and super helpful. I would 100% recommend it to anyone planning a wedding or even better - a stay!!

Got battered for asking where the toilet was. Never again

Booked a massage with Zamo at the Spa as I was having some stiffness in my lower back and shoulders and what a wonderful experience. After listening to my concerns she was able to quickly identify the areas of tension. She is an experienced masseuse who whilst applying just the right amount of pressure still ensures your treatment is very relaxing - my only complaint 80 minutes passed too quickly ! All in all I had a wonderful afternoon at the Spa

Beautiful room overlooking Belfast Lough. Very comfortable with a lot of space and very large bathroom. Peaceful and guaranteed a great nights sleep in a comfy bed.
