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.

Perfect for an overnight stay in Belfast. We relaxed in the hotel during the afternoon and had a wonderful dinner in Vespers. The room and facilities are great.

We stayed in the Culloden hotel 8th-10th August for our anniversary. From checking in the staff were 5star and a credit to the General Manager. We ate in the restaurant and the food was superb. The restaurant staff were excellent and totally faultless. We will definitely return and look forward to another weekend again soon.

Myself and my niece stayed with you from the 7thto 10 August 2025. We were greeted at reception and the day porter to the suite Milford suite was excellent. Arriving in the room or spacious clean and a lovely view of the gardens I did request a Lough view But that was fine. The Prosecco I ordered was on ice. I did request a bowl of fruit uncut, but it did come cut the reason why I asked it to uncut it so it can last for two or three days and we can eat the fruit as and when we want it and due to the fact that I was disappointed, there was no fridge in the room. We had to ask it for it to be cling filmed taken downstairs and replaced every day or could we have a fridge they did bring a bottle fridge up to the room. Now, what was very strange was the turn down service at night we came back from a day and arrived back at the hotel at approximately 6 PM to find the room hadn’t been serviced or part of it hadn’t. I had left the empty tissue box in the bathroom so that the staff could see that the replacement needed to be made. The bins have been emptied. The bed has been half made, but there was still dirty cups and champagne, glasses, and a pint glass left from when we arrive the night before so I wasn’t quite sure why the room hadn’t been serviced totally I was told that we needed to put the please clean the room sign out the door, which I should’ve known better being a hotel manager that’s what we should’ve done, but the staff had gone in and partly clean the room, not all of it. I would suggest like I used to do in my hotels is to get the duty head of housekeeping to check that all rooms had been cleaned and serviced properly. I know it’s time consuming but when you book a suite it’s very important and things like this can be left.. What was also very strange And disappointing is the second night we found a pair of pants under the bed, which weren’t ours so the night before we arrived. The room hasn’t been serviced correctly either so definitely see needs to be something to be looked at Customers expectation when paying +300 pound a night room should be serviced correctly. Myself my wife run a bespoke four bedroom bed-and-breakfast in the Isle of Man and we have a checklist even with four rooms and it’s very important that you do that because we get caught out sometimes. So marked out of 10 for your sweet, I’d probably give you a six. Breakfast was exceptional. Staff were very pleasant. Dinner was exceptional. massage and spa and pool was exceptional. The only disappointing bit. I think you need to do maintenance on Pool There’s a lot of rust around the edge of the pool and that’s not fresh again being in the industry you pick up on stuff like that so I think that needs to be looked at an address. The pub down the bottom of the garden food was excellent. In the main hotel lounge area, I think a little bit more attention to detail to dusting and checking behind cushions and seats as I found some chewing gum and some meringue nests obviously left from a function, but they do need Hoover right now and again.Staff was excellent grounds were superb. So overall, we had a fantastic weekend little bit disappointed in the suite for what I paid and I’m well aware I was on summer rate and upgraded, but even so the room should have been serviced correctly so for the whole hotel I give you eight out of 10. Please give me your feedback onto my email which is nigel@albanytours.co.uk Please have a look at our webpage www.albanyhouse.im We were inspected by the Hotel inspector off of Channel 4 about eight years ago and we did get 10 out of 10.
