    Reception staff very poor. I had to return as room keys did not work Also did not save card details so had to pay each time food/drinks purchased

    Location was good Bed very comfortable although room and bathroom would benefit from dusting- behind bath Breakfast poor for the price

    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.

    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.

    Bishop suite is my favourite hotel room for years

    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.

    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.

    Only one thing i don’t like about the hotel - is, the day i leave

    A pure luxurious hotel, i travel solo but never feel lonely there, the staff are friendly and can never do enough. Always very enjoyable to stay there.

    We should have stayed longer!!

    Best anniversary stay we've had. We booked the family room as our daughter (5) joined us. She was thrilled to stay in a castle. Wife loved the spa and it's facilities. We tried the heated pool and jacuzzi. Ate a delicious supper at the Cultra Inn, a gastro pub on the estate. The estate is located 15min away from Belfast central and there's a train station 2 minutes from the hotel. So much more we loved - definitely worth it!

    The building and the grounds are magical. The bar and surrounding area has a nice relaxing vibe. Just a short walk down through a lovely garden and you're at the Cultra Inn where you'll get a great feed and an even better pint of Guinness! The staff in this hotel are first class from start to finish... Can't wait for our next stay 👍

    Key card for room kept getting wiped so had to return to reception on 3 occasions.

    5star all through. Rooms were spacious. Beds really comfortable. Bathroom big with bath and walk in shower. Many comfortable areas to sit in big comfy chairs, sofas. Grounds beautifully kept. Plenty parking Warm welcome on arrival, easy check in, check out. All staff friendly helpful. Spa treatment best I have ever had. Pool area clean, loungers availability, jacuzzi excellent. Food at breakfast excellent choices, Cultra Inn on grounds good value and lots of choice.

    The only problem I had was in the bathroom, you had to climb into the bath to get a shower and the bath was very deep which made it difficult to get in & out.

    The hotel and the grounds are beautiful. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was lovely and well presented.
