Top Spot

Our stay was fantastic. It’s lovely to feel that you’re spoilt in a place and it’s even a little better than if you were home(!) Things like the GHD hairdryer, the Dyson(?) heater, the complimentary mini bar, the bath bomb the gorgeous coffee pods and the pillow spray all add to the feeling that you’re definitely on holiday and spoilt! Galgorm has taken the top spot in our list of places we most like to stay - we will look forward to our next opportunity to be back.

All Round Top Class 11/10

Firstly the staff on check in were amazing. Couldnt have been anymore helpful. The facilities are the best ive ever seen. The range of eateries on site are top class. We got a Woodpecker delivered to our sheppards hut and it was delicious. The Sheppards hut itself is outstanding. So comfy and homely. We could live here. Cant wait to get back and stay again.

Brilliant from start to finish, from the wee man at the front door doing the complimentary valet parking to the waiting staff was exceptional, the food was just beautiful in all the restaurants especially the Castle kitchen restaurant and the added bonus was the transport to the castle , excellent!!!! The spa and thermal village is just amazing even in January!!!! We will definitely return in the not too distant future, 5 star !

Disappointing

We have stayed at the Galgorm Hotel a number of times before but chose to stay in a cottage this time. We were in one of the newer cottages but found it to be very cold (there was snow on the ground outside) and when we tried to adjust the bedroom radiator water started to run out of it. This made it hard to dry robes and swimwear after the spa. My partner had to wear her coat indoors, for warmth. The shower door was badly designed and water poured out of the cubicle making the tiles slippy. There was a green light on the ceiling which lit the room up all night, affecting sleep. The spa was heaving with guests which made it difficult to find a hot tub to sit in. After paying over £16 for one cocktail and over £8 for a small beer we wandered around (cold and wet) trying to find space in one along the river and gave up. We booked a very late dinner which meant that as other guests left to eat we were finally able to use the facilities more easily. Our meal in Fratellis was average and over priced. As were the drinks. We felt that our stay this time was disappointing and have no intention to return again.
