Our Culture

Everything we do has our people and our guests at its heart and the future in mind.

Our spirit

At the heart of Clandeboye Lodge is the spirit of togetherness – a cycle of investment, trust and experience. We continue to invest in every aspect of our hotel’s grounds, facilities and staff. Our guests entrust us with their business, our staff with their working lives and we all share an experience that is mutually fulfilling. If it seems simple, it is, beautifully so.

Our people

Our passion for hospitality and our vision for this hotel would mean nothing without the people that make it real. Because we value and care for our fabulous team, we are defying the hospitality sector’s reputation for constantly changing workforces. As a result, contentment, loyalty and positivity is now embedded in everything we do. You can feel it.

Will definitely be back again

Had a beautiful lunch in the garden room. The garden room is so bright with beautiful view. Service I could not fault and food was delicious and well presented. I will definitely be back again as we both throughly enjoyed the experience.

Altogether was a pleasure to stay

Beautiful location, easy to get to from Belfast, amazing food, helpful staff, beautiful rooms, massive and comfy beds. I was so impressed with the morning wake-up call to the room door with a fresh orange juice. Altogether was a pleasure to stay there.

We will be back!

Our first time staying here and I hope it will not be the last. A lovely cosy atmosphere in a rural setting. We found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and professional. Our meal was of an equally high standard, as was the wine selection. The bedroom was also vert well appointed and comfortable. All in all, a great experience.

Fantastic visit, very much enjoyed this lovely venue

We attended an event recently at the Clandeboye. I was very impressed with this beautiful venue, and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much for them during setup and the entire event. The function rooms and the guest rooms are all gorgeous, and the food was also incredible. Highly recommend.
