Could this be the ultimate Irish minimoon?

The five-star Culloden Estate & Spa stands on the forested slopes of the Holywood hills, overlooking Belfast Lough and the glorious County Antrim coastline. Part of the Hastings Hotels Group, the Culloden is the most prestigious luxury five-star hotel in Northern Ireland. Originally built in 1876 as an official palace for the Bishops of Down, and more recently a playground for the rich and famous, the Culloden has hosted countless stars of film, music and sport, as well as world leaders.

Standing in twelve acres of beautiful, secluded gardens and woodland, and the only Northern Irish member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the Culloden is set in palatial surroundings where fine antiques and the highest levels of personal service combine to create a unique air of elegance.

The boutique property boasts ninety-eight bright, spacious and individually decorated bedrooms, many of which were refurbished earlier this year, and stunning suites that combine traditional comfort with contemporary elegance.

Couples can celebrate by dining at the hotel's esteemed fine-dining restaurant, Vespers, which was awarded two AA Rosettes last year. They can also indulge at The Spa at Culloden which offers a variety of luxurious treatments, relaxation areas and a stunning swimming pool, perfect for spending time together and reflecting on the big day.

Guests looking to book a last-minute mini moon over the coming months can also enjoy the hotel's Autumn Indulgence offer with a luxurious cosy escape on selected dates in September, October & November, which includes a 15% discount on bed and breakfast bookings along with a complimentary upgrade to the next room category. The stay includes a full Irish breakfast served in the sophisticated setting of Vespers Restaurant the next morning.

Suites at Culloden Estate & Spa (https://www.cullodenestateandspa.com// 028 9042 1066) start from £790 per night and Garden Rooms from £270 per night, including breakfast.
