Spa was great and not overbooked which I was worried about. Hotel and spa both very clean. However, drinks and food overpriced as well as fire alarm light being very bright in our room which greatly interrupted my sleep,

From the second we entered the door we were greeted by the friendliest staff, our room was spotless and the food was out of this world gorgeous. Throughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return.
The whole experience was amazing, the staff were so helpful, the thermal village was delightful, I love staying at Galgorm. It was so Christmassy with gorgeous decorations and everything feels so luxurious.

Everything was amazing ! Lovely friendly staff, outstanding river view from our gorgeous room, with our own Christmas tree ! Breakfast was delicious, as were the meals in Gillies and Fratellis. And the wonderful relaxing spa to top it off. Fantastic two days.
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.

Shepard’s hut was ok, not really worth the money in my opinion. But the spa and food are amazing.
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left. 5 star service from every member of staff the whole time. The resort is beautiful and you would not be disappointed. Thank you for such a lovely stay.
Fabulous hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there for mini honeymoon. The spa is amazing. I'd highly recommend to anyone thinking about staying. The service is top class.
The whole experience from going into Galgorm to checking out was amazing.All facilities fabulous .Staff could not be any more helpful...and the surroundings...omg
It was fantastic 2 nights . I proposed to my lady in a lovely romantic place, couldn’t be better . Didn’t get much as gift from them but the place is just amazing . We love it and planned to go there once a year..
Didn’t have £ to give tips esp the valet but he was a nice guy .. next time
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.
