Culloden Estate & Spa

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.

I took mother for afternoon tea for her 81st birthday. The receptionist noted this special occasion when I phoned to book, and also again when I phoned to confirm. But no one acknowledged it when we were there. We told reception when we arrived that we had afternoon tea booked, and they told us to go to the bar and someone would sort us out. We went to bar, and after waiting for someone to speak to, a waiter went to find someone else! In the end my mother just sat down at a table which had reserved on it! Turned out that this was our table anyway!! It was a lovely table overlooking the lough and gardens. Such a beautiful view and surroundings. A very well mannered waiter came and took our tea order and brought us a glass of water each. He explained everything on the menu to us and was very helpful regarding our tea choices. We waited about 10 minutes for our afternoon tea which looked delicious and was lovely presented. Everything was delicious! The sandwiches were delicious, and the desserts were the best! The only complaint I would have is that there was no butter for the scones, and also very little jam and cream for four scones! So we then had to look for a waiter (it was very busy) and ask for butter, more cream and jam and some more tea! It was brought to us after about 5 minutes! I don’t think we should have to ask for any of these things. No one came to ask us if everything was to our satisfaction, although when we were ready to leave, a lovely waiter asked us if we’d like more tea!! And the little piece of cake we got home was a lovely gesture. I walked round to reception to pay, but they sent me back round to the bar to pay! We will definitely return as we enjoyed it very much, but at £88, I think the service should be a little more attentive.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Views across the Lough are breathtaking and the grounds a treasure to explore. The vegan cooked breakfast was delicious and plenty of non diary options for drinks. The interior of the hotel is immaculately presented whilst retaining its charm and character. Thank you for such fabulous experience. We will be back.

This hotel was part of our Manor Royal Tour with Royal Irish Tours Loved this hotel !!! Would stay here anytime again Lovely rooms. Very clean. Great service. Awesome meals!

My recent stay at the Culloden Estate was nothing short of exceptional. Dinner at Vespers and breakfast the following morning were the best meals I have ever had in Northern Ireland, every dish was picture perfect and full of flavor! What stood out most was the staff. Every single person we encountered seemed genuinely friendly, attentive, and clearly very well trained in hospitality. Can't wait to return!
