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.

Booked a spa experience which included a facial by Gracie. We went over all my problematic areas and got a tailored facial. The experience was great! Would really recommend Gracie as she’s super professional and was a great experience overall.

We've been here a few times recently for afternoon tea (just a scone and tea, not the big expensive one) and enjoyed pleasant surroundings, helpful staff and very fine scones. The only problem is that they seem to run out of scones easily and, in addition, interestingly, last time, they couldn't give us a ham sandwich but could provide a croque monsieur, which was essentially a ham sandwich covered in cheese and toasted. Still, a nice quiet place, not cheap but not as expensive as you might think.

I enjoyed a day spa and afternoon tea with my friend. The surroundings were very clean, bright and relaxing! The jacuzzi and steam room were both very enjoyable! I had a beautiful neck, back and shoulder massage by Claire. It was the best massage I have ever had. Claire was very professional and courteous at all times and her advice and care afterwards was very educational. Afternoon tea was beautiful and there was a good selection/variety. The staff were all very attentive from the moment we arrived. I would highly recommend the day package.

We just stayed on the Saturday night, arriving just before 3pm check in. Parking was easy and near the main entrance. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. We spent a few hours at the Spa (separate review submitted) and later that evening, we had a bite to eat at the Lough Inn. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The cocktails were delicious but I felt they could add a few well known ones to their menu. A lady played piano near reception and the sound was piped through to all areas of the ground floor, including the Lough Inn. This added to the chilled, relaxed vibe. Next morning, we had a fabulous breakfast in Vespers restaurant. Check out was hassle free. For a quiet retreat, I recommend a stay here.
