The Culloden Estate and Spa

Had a massage and a spa day it was incredible lovely staff best massage ever swim sauna and jacussi everything was great

We couldn't fault one but of this hotel, absolutely stunning in all aspects. We will Def be returning again for another weekend getaway.

The staff at the hotel were all outstanding. Really helpful and professional. The public rooms are lovely and we enjoyed the pianist. Our meals at the Culpra were very good.
However, the food at the breakfast buffet was poor. The eggs were dry, the bacon rubbery, and generally not good. Ordering a la carte eggs was much better, but for the price breakfast was disappointing though the service was excellent and the room beautiful.
We had garden rooms but felt they lacked the extra touches of luxury such a hotel should have, such as fresh milk rather than the plastic pots, decent biscuits rather than the cheapest little offering, lots of small touches missing. The beds were extremely comfortable and the view from the window lovely.
We were disappointed that the spa pool was so small, but it would have been better if there had been more loungers. It’s not right ton have a sauna, and the actual,sauna was lovely, but then there was nowhere to lie and relax afterwards.

We choose this hotel for its location near the Stena Line ferry and for its private parking as we had an early crossing. The hotel is really beautiful, we had no time for the breakfast but our room was very comfortable and we had a very good night. Very friendly staff, we will be back.

Exceptional Hotel staff were very friendly

we booked a one night stay. it exceeded my expectations. staff couldn’t off been nicer! was a bank holiday weekend stay and it went well from start to finish!! would recommend giving it a go.

We had a recent stay at The Culloden and was very pleased to experience a noticeable improvement throughout the hotel following our last experience. The atmosphere felt calm from the moment we arrived at the check in desk, along with attentive service and a strong sense of care across all areas.

Even though we were early with our arrival ahead of check in the rooms were ready not long after we checked in. We enjoyed lunch and drinks in the bar, an ideal way to begin the visit. Service was efficient and the views overlooking the gardens added to the experience while we had some drinks at the bar.

We had dinner at Vespers in the evening and was most enjoyable. Each dish recieved were very well presented and good portions. The service throughout the dinner was smooth and attentive. They also have an extensive wine list along with nice menu options.

We didn’t make use of the spa facilities on this visit, although we did visit the spa, that had a wide selection of ESPA products available.

One of the highlights was the Bollinger Garden. With good weather on our side, it was the wondetful to enjoy a drink outside along with taking in the views of the hote grounds. We only had drinks here but the dishes served to other guests looked very nice and well presented.

We had a Garden View room and this was comfortable and well appointed, offering great views of the grounds. The bed was very comfotable providing a restful night’s sleep, and the ESPA bathroom products were a nice touch.

Breakfast the following morning had a wide selection of hot breakfast items along with pastries and fruit. The servers were very attentive.

Even though we had a short stay, it was a such a relaxing experience and really enjoyed every minute. We will definitely return for a longer visit in the near future.

We were gifted our overnight bed breakfast and evening meal. The hotel is situated overlooking Belfast Lough which we could view from the Ava Suite. The room was clean and with a huge bed. There is no fridge in the room. We both felt far too warm and was unable to adjust air conditioning. The evening meal at the Cultra was lovely we would recommend the setting evening if passing by, you don't need to stay to avail of the pub restaurant setting.
I would recommend but I dont think I would pay the price myself but so thankful of the gift by B-POSITIVE charity.

Called in today for a light lunch in the bar.first thing you see is reserved seating beside the windows in the bar as most hotels etiquette would be first come first served.
2ndly half our order was forgotten about i had to chase it up but by the time it arrived our other food had went cold then i noticed our table was set with the wrong cutlery.
No apology no follow up to ask was everything fine with our meal.
The ambience was perfect just the staff were under trained for a 5 star establishment.

Stayed here for a second time this year . Couldn’t fault it with the service and luxury surrounds . Had dinner in Vespers restaurant and was excellent . Beautiful room overlooking Belfast Lough . Overall a really enjoyable treat .

This is a hotel with a lot of charm. It is a beautiful historic building which has been augmented by a more modern but well integrated extension and is located on beautiful grounds between Belfast city airport and Bangor.

It feels like a peaceful retreat, yet is only located about 10-15 minutes from the airport by car, has a train station right on its own ground going to the airport (short walk from the airport train station to the terminal) and Belfast city centre, as well as a bus stop to the centre just across from the hotel too (trains are twice an our, bus is only once an hour but has more central stops)

I stayed for one night only in a deluxe room. Those are well decorated and reasonably spacious rooms in the extension overlooking the gardens (though set up of the building means you can sometimes feel a little exposed to people walking in the gardens). It has a comfortable bed, bathroom with tub and separate shower and feels elegant, comfortable and luxurious in a country house sort of way. The rooms located in the historic buildings (and those with a view of the Lough) are more expensive.

Common areas are pretty. They include a main restaurant, comfy bar and reading room, a separate gastro pub on the other side of the garden, and an extensive gym, pool and spa including hammam, sauna with a view, and jacuzzi.

I enjoyed the hotel a lot. My only slight disappointment was that my dinner in the bar (restaurant was closed as was the gastropub due to a function) was somewhat disappointing (maybe I should have taken their weekly special or fish of the day, but I was tempted by their pepper steak which proved mediocre - overcooked, sauce uninteresting). By contrast, breakfast was excellent - the buffet is relatively small but good and complemented by a la carte hot dishes. I got a beautiful egg benedict, excellent porridge with optional drop of Irish whisky, half grapefruit, etc.

I really liked the spa too despite it being quite busy (lots of external users especially in the morning and evening including lessons in the pool which makes it a bit hard to use the pool. The grounds are lovely to walk in too and include some contemporary sculptures.

On my visit, most other guests were Americans and typically from older age groups but this might have to do with the fact that this was neither holiday nor weekend.

Overall, I warmly recommend the place.

great but palace suite ( presidential suite ) shower is really poor for the price of the room . room service cancellation in the morning for breakfast , had to call 5 times to get a response, for a rom that is originally valued at 3.5k a night , you would think you would get a dedicated butler like the dorchester and a dedicated member of staff answering your phone calls
