Excellent stay from the moment we walked in the impressive front entrance till the moment we departed. We were made to feel at home immediately. We arrived before the check in time but were told to enjoy the hotels facilities and every effort would be made to get our room ready as soon as possible, and it wasn't long after that we were informed out luggage had been taken to our room and the keys presented to us. The setting is beautiful, even on the cloudy misty day we arrived on and the Cultra Inn, in the grounds, is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a meal in. Also a swim in the pool is a must. Breakfast was enjoyed not only because of the excellent food available but also due to the beautiful view out across the grounds to Belfast lough. I can't say enough about the service provide from every member of staff, it all combined to make our stay at the Culloden an amazing experience and its a hotel I would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Having traveled around the world to nearly 100 countries, I found the Culloden to be an extremely beautiful hotel, with a unique and distinctive character of its own. If you're in one of their suites, like we were, the view is spectacular. Perhaps what keeps this hotel from being just short of outstanding is the quality of their service and maintenance, both of which were somewhat below my expectation. Nevertheless, it is still one of the finest places to stay in the Northern UK and I will definitely be going back again.

My partner and I upgraded our room to an Executive Room and ended up in the Praegar Suite which was absolutely fantastic. The views were incredible and everything in the room was of the nicest quality and so clean. The pool and surrounding areas were lovely and water a nice temperature. The food in the Mitre restaurant was out of this world and the staff were professional and courteous at all times. We will definitely return and would advise anyone to stay.

The Culloden Hotel is in a magnificent location - facilities are of a high standard, dining room was excellent and surprisingly reasonable. The outstanding feature of our stay was the exceptional courtesy and friendliness of the staff. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a relaxing break.

This was at best a three star hotel in an admittedly beautiful location. The food was average.

I found that the reception desk in the lobby had quite efficient staff but they did not show any interest in individuals. What you required was answered but nothing more was offered. It left you with a feeling of impersonal but efficient service. On the other hand I had occasion to call the reception from my room. On the phone they sounded quite helpful. Other than that it was excellent service. The doorman was especially helpful.

Great Breakfast. The bar lacks atmosphere but the Coultra bar on site is excellent.
