Culloden Estate & Spa

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! 🙂

Stayed at Culloden during our visit to Belfast to see the exhibition "Light from the West: Irish art after 1870" at the Ulster Museum.

A birthday treat trip away for 3 days in Belfast with a view to seeing the Giants Causeway amongst other things. The hotel is very impressive , a beautiful building that is matched on the inside with impeccable decoration of furniture and art . Rooms full of comfy armchairs gives a friendly relaxing feel to the hotel . The staff are courteous and helpful . Our room was very nice but a poor nights sleep due to a noisy pipe triggered the perfect response to move us to a better room with a Louth view . We couldn’t fault the food , we ate at the Cultra Inn and the Lough Bar and had breakfast each day in Vespers . It was all very good . We used the spa which provided a pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna amongst the other usual spa facilities. It wasn’t busy and was very relaxing. The grounds are beautiful as well , adorned with outside garden sculptures that are quite intriguing….especially the donkey head outside the window we sat at in Vespers . It wasn’t perfect but it did all the things it should do absolutely right . Well done and thank you for a lovely stay .

This is a review for two things: our wedding at the Culloden in August 2025 and a stay last night in the Blackwood Suite. Planning our wedding with Ailie couldn’t have been better - we were accommodated on all requests and everything was smooth and seamless, including payment. The day itself really was the best day of our lives. We had great service and co-ordination. All of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they’d attended! Canapés and evening meal were delicious. We had the Blackwood Suite the night of the wedding and also went again last night. Cormac and his team have to be commended for providing outstanding service. We had dinner in the Lough Bar which was reasonable and delicious. All in, if you want to get married - do it here. If you’re visiting Northern Ireland and want somewhere to stay - stay here. We can’t wait to be back!!

This is a very nice hotel, this was our second visit but in a better room ie the Harris Suite. The room was lovely, just a few points, the air con was poor it hardly threw out any air so the room was extremely hot at night. Also it could do with a bathroom night light, I banged my leg quite badly as it was so dark trying to get to the loo. Re this food options, the tea pots are barely filled so tea is very strong, we needed (as did others to repeatedly ) to ask for pots of hot water. We also had afternoon tea, with our family which was delicious however once the initial food was delivered we never saw a waiter again. Thank goodness for the bar staff who took pity on us and helped with more tea, etc. not a good look at £40 per person times 4!!!! But - staff everywhere else were lovely and the food at every one of their venues is delicious.
