Such a stunningly beautiful hotel! So well designed and thoughtfully decorated. I really enjoyed walking around the hotel and grounds. The gym was only in use by a couple of other people and had a variety of exercise machines. The pool, hot tub, steam room, and sauna were wonderful to relax in. My biggest regret was not scheduling a spa treatment in advance.

Perfection! My husband and I have traveled for 30 years and this was the NICEST place we ever stayed. Beautiful people...there were two gala events while we were there so we enjoyed drinks in the lounge looking at all the gowns and tuxes. Grounds are immaculate with gorgeous sculptures. The spa benefit comes with check-in and it is pure relaxation with a pool, hot tub, dry sauna and wet sauna. Additional services are available for purchase from massage to dermabrasion. If you want true luxury and pampering, this is your place! Note: There is free coffee in the AM outside of the dining room (we discovered as we were leaving).

Culloden is a very pretty spot but service was a bit uneven. Front desk was terrific and could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Breakfast and dining fell short. Long waits and relatively poor quality was out of character with the rest of the property. We stayed two nights and would stay again as its rooms and natural beauty are terrific. The free breakfast was a case of getting what you pay for and the Cultra Inn was very disappointing. We did not try the Spa.

Amazing experience. The best spa I have done. The heavenly package was exactly that, heavenly. The breakfast, rooms, amenities and the restaurant Cultra Inn was a delightful place. The food delicious and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely make this place my first option when in Belfast.

A little mix up with check in was quickly rectified by hotel staff. They were quick and professional and friendly. The upgrade they gave us was more than appreciated. Cultra Inn- amazing. Food was yummy. Breakfast- so good. Scenery and views-unreal. Hotel in general was just a treat. Bar was cosy and the drinks so tasty. The zest bar in the spa was really the only let down. The cafe area was dirty and unmanned late Friday afternoon. I waited for quite some time and was stood staring at dirty dishes and crates on the counter. I was looking forward to a drink and just left. The rest of the spa was lovely. we will absolutely be back.

The Culloden Estate was absolutely lovely. All staff were very attentive and friendly. The room was very spacious and clean. The only negative of our stay was we ate in Culta Inn, meal was beautiful but service was a bit slow and they forgot to bring me a drink, I had to go and remind them I was waiting on a drink, but this wouldn't put us off as I know they were very busy.

WOWSERS!

Gorgeous grounds, delicious food at the Cultra Inn Restaurant, and luxurious rooms! I got a suite and it was absolutely stunning! It's a shame I only stayed one night before my flight because it was truly an incredible property! The bathroom was so fancy with a huge immaculate bathtub and separate shower. The bed was tall and huge with giant pillows. The room was massive and had a lounge area and stunning view of the surroundings. The staff was friendly and helpful and professional. I can't complain about this stay.
