Only 10 minutes from George Best airport, very easy to find. Quick check-in. I had booked an estate room and was happily upgraded to the Bishop Suite. It had been a long day and as I walked through the door and looked out the windows, my heart soared! Beautiful view, beautiful suite. I usually avoid suites because as a solo traveller I feel like there is too much space for me, but this was perfect! Comfortable bed, comfy sofa. Had breakfast once, seated quickly and food lovely and plentiful. Bar service good, and there was usually some live piano music, and once even a singer. Easy to walk down the hill to the coastal path and get some of the sea air. Even on the day it was tipping down with rain, the room was lovely to be in.

Impossible to work at the desk, any desk, as too high for the chairs. It would be better if there was at least one desk/chair combo that was correct for working on a laptop. The TV in the living room area seemed to have fewer channels than in the bedroom.

Location excellent for Belfast and the country side walks. Our room and views were lovely. Loved the art in the garden and the relaxed atmosphere.

When checking in the receptionist had an issue not being able to use my Revolut card from my phone ( tap) , she then told me I had to use a physical card - this I know not to be the case! After several minutes frustrating minutes she eventually was able to use my Revolut on my phone. Again on checkout the same lady, I paid any outstanding balance and left the hotel. I got a call 3 hours later from the hotel telling me they forgot to charge me for something on checkout. Very annoying and not the experience I’d expect from a 5 star hotel. Unfortunately we were unable to sample the high end dinning as the restaurant was closed on bank holiday Monday, I’ve would have liked to sample the tasting menu.

Amazing grounds and decor, especially in lounges, bar and dining room. Main courses at Cultra Inn were delicious. Bedroom was peaceful and very comfortable. Air con worked well.

Several quibbles which were disappointing, given the star rating of the hotel: variety of fresh fruit and pastries at breakfast, and service was rather erratic; room had no coffee machine or tissues (have regularly found these in 4* hotels); lack of attention to detail in cleaning of bathroom; view from (our deluxe) room was an adjoining roof; dessert at Cultra Inn was disappointing- £8 for a small square of ice cream with a cheap cone stuck upside down in it. Slow check in.

Since our last stay the hotel has been refreshed , lovely comfortable chairs in the general area and redecoration. The policy of removing the small bottles of bathroom products for more sustainable large refillable bottles is a good indicator to trying to be more environmentally conscious. The gardens look amazing and interesting art work to walk around . The location is great with easy access into the city either via trains , as the station is a three minute walk away , or a 15 minute taxi ride

The room servicing was a bit random , things left undone, like the floor not being vacuumed and the glasses /cups unwashed , we had to ask to water and coffee pods as these weren’t replace but generally the standard of cleaning was high so we assumed the attendant had been called away and forgotten to finish.

Location was excellent for walking along the sea front and visiting the museums next door. Food at breakfast gave plenty of choice and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. There was a lovely ambiance throughout the hotel.

Afternoon tea should have been served with a savoury pork and Stilton sausage roll and we were given a cup of soup I questioned this and the waitress had been told to say the chef had done this today instead of of the roll. Not sure what was happening but the sausage roll eventually arrived courtesy of the manager and explanation it was a confusion. Otherwise it was a lovely afternoon tea and the waitress was so very helpful.

Stunning building / estate . Stunning views & grounds . From the minute we walked in the staff were so friendly & helpful . Pam on reception was very friendly & helped with queries we had . Also there was a guy ( English accent wearing blue jacket ) in the lough bar sorry we didn’t get his name was very helpful & friendly also . The stay was a gift to my husband for his 50th birthday .

For us there was absolutely nothing about Culloden estate & spa for us to dislike

Loved the location absolutely beautiful. Very grand decor stunning.

When checking in reception asked what the occasion was and we said for 2 x 60th birthdays and a 40th birthday they said they would let the restaurant know (The Cultra Inn) which we thought was lovely. However dinner was a slight let down. They mentioned the birthdays when we arrived for dinner but that was it nothing more so didn’t see the point of the restaurant being told. We waited over an hour for our food, ordered drinks a couple of times but never received them. After we ate our main meal which was beautiful no one came back to lift our plates or ask if we wanted dessert. However breakfast in Vespers was first class. But overall we loved our stay and would definitely come back.

The grounds of the hotel was absolutely stunning! My husband and I enjoyed walking round and seeing all the art in the garden! When we arrived the lady at reception was lovely and very welcoming. We liked the fact that they have someone who meets you outside and brings in your bag and offers to take it to your room. The room was just absolutely stunning, so clean and bed was unbelievabe! The bathroom was massive with a great deep bath which we enjoyed. The spa was beautiful and so relaxing! The food a little pricey but you dont mind paying when you get the quality that we received! The waitress was lovely and welcoming.

Absolutely nothing! Just kicking ourselves that we only booked for the 1 night! Definitely will be staying the two nights next time!

Absolutely everything was perfect from the moment we arrived for our engagement till the very end. The hotel is absolutely stunning. The staff were exceptional from check in, to front of house, staff in the Spa area, staff in Cultra Inn were so friendly congratulating us on our engagement including chef’s. However Jenny in the Cultra Inn was just exceptional she made our entire night magical. The attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. Her warmth, kindness, flare with the guests was incredible, she made a lasting impression on us. Even down to arranging transport back up to the hotel, taking us up personal. She has a heart of gold and makes people’s dreams and realities come true. Jenny you are an inspiration and absolutely credit to the Cultra Inn and Culloden Hotel. The bedroom was exquisite with beautiful decor, so clean, welcoming and fresh. The air conditioning is outstanding being able to have a lovely cool room is a must for us. The reception staff helped my partner arrange our engagement balloons and bottle of Prosecco for our proposal. Then when we came back to the bedroom we found lovely cupcakes with congratulations on a slate tray. Everything was just so perfect and made our day and evening so so special. The gardens and the views across Belfast Lough are breathtaking the Culloden Estate Hotel is set in the most magnificent and incredible surroundings.

Absolutely nothing! Everything was 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

The room was spacious and very clean/tidy. The staff throughout the hotel, were polite, welcoming and also with a smile. The room was equipped with everything you needed. The spa itself was indulgent and relaxing. We had a treatment carried out and the aesthetician was so friendly and bubbly, we were treated like royalty and it was so calming. The restaurant on the estate was brilliant, the food in the Cultra Inn was delicious and the staff were friendly and polite, couldn’t have assisted more with anything. Would highly recommend a stay here and we will definitely be back again for a spa trip!!

The only issue we had was the bath in the room is quite deep and narrow, it unfortunately does not come with a anti slip mat, which was an issue for my grandmother as she struggled to get out.
