"On the shores of Belfast's lough, The Culloden Estate and Spa is a serene escape from the buzzy city scene. The best part is that guests are a speedy train trip away from central Belfast—the nearest station is just two minutes from the hotel. The building itself was originally constructed in 1876 as a palace for the Bishop of Down and has since been transformed into a palatial five-star hotel set on 12 acres of secluded woodland with commanding views over the lake and the rugged Antrim coastline."
