The Galgorm was one of the nicest stays we've ever had. The staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the whole stay. We stayed in a cottage and will definitely be returning.

Overnight with thermal village
Overnight stay at half term with great time spent in the thermal village. Lots of great facilities to enjoy. Good dinner in Gillies. However the hotel misses the opportunity to provide fine dining in the river room.

Not what it used to be
We go to Galgorm every year for a 1-2 night stay. We probably won’t go back now. Prices are astronomical at the hotel for mediocre drinks and food, the spa treatments are now like a conveyor belt and the spa in general is very crowded. It feels like the Galgorm group just want to squeeze every last drop of money out of guests.

Outstanding
The Galgorm is a wonderful facility in a beautiful location but there is no doubt that what really makes the experience is the staff. Galgorm, you should be so proud of each and every one of them. They’re outstanding!

As much as we love galgorm this visit was not as expected. Our room was not ready on arrival and had to wait 1 hour which was disappointing and when we got to the spa it was soo overcrowded that we couldn't get near a hot tub. Considering we had dinner reservations we didn't get much time to enjoy the spa given the late check in and number of guests using facilities. Fratellies is my favourite but this time they had changed the menu and reduced the much loved tapas starters, the starter we did pick was very salty and we couldn't enjoy it. Pizza was delicious tho. I always recommend galgorm to friends but I might not big it up as much in future. The cottage was clean and perfect for us as we've stayed many times, we did have trouble getting hot water this time, had to leave the shower running for 5 minutes before hot water came. Still love galgorm and will definitely stay again but perhaps not on a Sunday as it seems too busy. They should try to monitor this in some way and maybe let guest know that it's busy. Breakfast was as always a treat.

Lovely stay but could have slept better
We had a lovely time at Galgorm. The spa was amazing as usual and it wasn't too busy. Cocktails were a ridiculous price though so we didn't order any. We stayed in the older part of the hotel which was fine but it the room just didn't feel as luxurious/cosy as other rooms we had stayed in. There were a few strange stains on the carpet and the room was very hot during the night despite leaving the windows open and using the Dyson fan which we kept on all night but it was very noisy and made it difficult to sleep. Breakfast in Gillies was lovely
