The Culloden Estate and Spa is a luxurious five-star resort hotel in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The historic hotel stands on 12 acres of secluded gardens and is situated at the top of the Holywood Hills, offering breathtaking views of Belfast Lough and the stunning County Antrim coastline. The 17th-century Gothic mansion was originally a Bishop’s Palace, and the hotel maintains its timeless palace elegance while providing all of the luxuries of contemporary life. There is an air of opulence surrounding the Culloden Estate and Spa thanks to its magnificent surroundings, lavish interiors, precious antiques, and impeccable service.
The Culloden Estate was originally built in 1876 by Belfast stockbroker William Auchinleck Robinson JP. He built a beautiful stone villa on a grand wooded site at Craigavad, Cultra, which was designed in the Scottish Baronial style and named it after his wife, Elizabeth Jane Culloden. Much of the stone was brought from Scotland by boat, landed at Portaferry, and conveyed by horse and cart to the site. At the end of the 19th century, Culloden House became the official residence of the Lord Bishop of Down, Connor and Dromore, and was known as The Bishop’s Palace. Four bishops lived here including Bishop Crozier who later became Archbishop of Armagh. Bishop Crozier was a close friend of the celebrated Irish songwriter and entertainer Percy French and godfather to his daughter. French, who wrote the famous song The Mountains of Mourne, was a frequent visitor.
Nestled high in the Holywood hills, the luxurious Culloden Estate & Spa is the ultimate romantic setting for a wedding venue in Northern Ireland, set in 12 acres of secluded gardens, overlooking Belfast Lough.
