Galgorm Resort and Spa Review

Had a great day here taking advantage of one of the special day spa offers.

This place is just heaven from start to finish. Amazing hotel,amazing grounds,amazing spa,amazing food and amazing staff.

Fabulous place for relaxation, indulgence and spa time

We ate here and had a blast, great food reasonable price and lots of history

I am deeply concerned with the lack professionalism that was shown by Gabbi and the doormen. I was assaulted by a chair, which has permanently scared me on my lower back. I will be claiming in the coming months...

I have visited the Galgorm many times. I attended the Northern Regional College graduation on December 13th with my family. We had a wonderful and enjoyable time. The refreshments were tasty and filling. They have redeemed themselves following my previous visit. I had not been to the Galagorm in 3 years following the Carrickfergus Grammar School formal (29/10/2015), which was a complete disappointment. The food was terrible, salty and not pleasant. The alcoholic drinks were weak and very overpriced. The Galgorm was an utter let down for my school formal! After this, I definitely will not be planning a wedding there! However, I do recommend the spa and afternoon tea. The cottages are also lovely to stay at. Lovely place and surroundings.

Great experience. The spa was so relaxing, the food at Gillies was great and the room was so comfy

Best hotel in the country. Cant wait to get back for the 13th time.

Fantastic place to stay after playing golf at Royal Portrush and then playing the Galgorm course. The facilities are great. Service good. Lift back from the golf course to the hotel in the hotels Rolls Royce will be remembered for a long time. We'll be back!

Excellent and child friendly staff, very accommodating! The food was excellent and prices were reasonable.

This is where we had our wedding just love this place. See you soon for our one year anniversary

Wedding guest service was impeccable as always food was great too. Buffet served to the table was a great treat!!

Exceptional Food serviced in the River Restaurant. Very nice spa. Overall a great place to stay.

Great food, beautiful location, with warm friendly staff. Highly recommend to anyone!!

Lovely hotel and spa , staff is very nice too, food is lovely is a good place to go for couple!

Relaxing enjoyable stay. Great food in Gillies and Fratellis

Beautiful place stayed in a cabin grounds r lovely. Good place to chill out for a few days

Well worth it! Havmt been that relaxed in my life. Staff are very nice and friendly l, rooms fantastic. You have to go at least once.

I really do like this place, but it is just always so busy. Residents should have priority at the spa. But very relaxing and pleasant when you can use it.

Visited for the first time for a family wedding. Wonderful venue, courteous, friendly and helpful staff. High quality food. Would highly praise the event manager from that day for how everything was conducted and his handling of one or two minor issues that arose.

Amazing place for a relaxing spa break. Afternoon tea was fantastic.

Great location for a short break, can a bit expensive but that's the price for a bit of luxury. Our stay included a meal, breakfast and use of the spa and thermal village, all of which were excellent.

Amazing however left gold chains in bathrobe but they were never found. Even though it was my fault it pretty much ruined the day as they were off sentimental value

Beautiful bar in amazing surroundings with a fantastic choice of drinks and the meal was first class, go quite often and never a let down

This is a grand hotel and food amazing. The grounds are very picturesque.

Very disappointed in steak night. Steaks for us both were absolutely tasteless burnt partly didn't seem to be seasoned. As place was full we didn't want to make a fuss. Never had this problem before Very very disappointed have to say

Super service all weekend.Great stay as always with the Galgorm!

Amazing place. Sooo relaxing, magnificent spa with lots of options. Lovely bar and beer garden. Pricey, but worth it.

Can't really fault it. prob the best hotel in Ireland

Speaking as a Photographer who captures 40 plus weddings at Galgorm each year, I never get bored of it... A photographers dream and it's always innovating and advancing. The ultimate venue and comes into it's own if the weather happens to turn wet. Staff are always friendly and I actually feel like part of their team. It's only fifteen minutes from my home but when I visit it's like being transported to another world.
Galgorm is simply Northern Ireland's premier Wedding Resort!

Great food was lovely waiter was excellent in gilleys,dressing gowns in spa were a bit shabby, 1 jacuzzi no bubbles came on but apart from all that all good

Relaxing place to unwind good food and helpful staff

Fantastic place with great walks.Food and accommodation first class

Fabulous place to visit, great food, staff were great and spa experience was amazing

If you want to spoil yourselves, this is the place!! Good restaurants. Amazing spa. Bedroom large but with no air conditioning. Bathroom basic. Noise from people outside enjoying the hot tubs. Different WiFi codes for different parts of the facility. Parking not close to entrance.

I can only comment on the thermal village which was very good. I was there when numbers were restricted and I felt that was enough people however in normal times it would be much more full (so I've been told). The spa treatment was excellent and the lunch (part of the spa day package) was very tasty - good choice of menu.

Enjoyed a very nice dinner in fratellis restaurant with my family. Unfortunately the restaurant has lost my booking but we're still able to accommodate my group. Food and service were excellent.

Amazing spa and hotel. Food was excellent too. Spa was very busy though.

We booked the Great Hall for a very special 21st birthday celebration for our charity. From the outset, we received 5-star service. All the staff were fantastic....respectful, inclusive, warm and friendly. Nothing was a bother and we felt so welcome. Would 100% use this Venu again. Thank you so so much.

Family wedding during the summer and i cant fault the hotel. Great service food and facilities

Had a lovely meal in Fratelli's. Superb food, great atmosphere and great service. Good for families and couples alike.

Lovely place, you'll pay for this treat but the wife loved it so it was a win.
Staff where great and couldn't fault the facilities

Cannot fault a thing at this beautiful hotel. We had a fantastic overnight break. Stunning surroundings, spa facilities unbelievable, a wide variety of small bar areas and a beautiful restaurant. The staff were so friendly n helpful and joined in the Craic with us. Definitely be back n for longer next time. Thank you Maurice for carryi g our bags to the car too.

I attended Galgorm Resort & Spa for a wedding ceremony and reception and I found the service and food to be very good.

Great place to be. If want chill out well this place to go. Beautiful place and book in you stay enjoy view and lots thing to do.

Loved everything about the place. Our room was great, staff fantastic(helpful friendly and attentive) and we had a great time at the thermal spa. Can't wait to go again!

Excellent service and top quality for start to finish, wish we knew you could use the spa after check out! Will be back to use the spa!

We ate in gillies, very nice setting but my main course was a bit disappointing, I got the ribs and the were very dry and touch, apart from that everything was lovely

I recently stayed in the Galgorm for the first time recently, after staying in a number similarly priced and marketed hotels/spas (international and local). The place gets a fantastic reputation and I'm not sure why, perhaps due to spa visitors. The spa was very good and offered a wide range of experiences. However, the hotel itself was substandard. The staff were ineffective - be prepared to wait for a lot of things. There are many examples but the two most galling are waiting for 30 minutes to be served by staff after being seated in a restaurant - then getting the accompanying drinks after the mains are almost finished. Sitting in the gin library and subsequently river room for 40+ minutes for service - the place was nearly empty at the time. Also, The rooms were extremely noisy - you can hear other patrons in the hall and the guard dogs (I assume as the place has large grounds) barking all night long!! I would never return to this hotel, there are far better options a short drive away. However, I would return to the spa as a day visitor - the spa is the only reason that this is not a 1 star review. Horrific hotel and restaurants.

We chose to go here for the thermal village, but it was packed, there were queues for most things like the jacuzzis and saunas. We waited and checked back several times for availability on the hot tubs, but we never got to use them at all. Check-in was fairly quick but a bit of a queue. Check-out took longer as there was more of a queue. Cocktails from the cocktail and gin bar were ok. I ordered a cocktail not on the list and it didn't taste right - probably best sticking to only those on the menu. Very expensive too. Dinner and drinks were served very quickly, but not as nice as lower-priced or similarly priced food in Belfast restaurants. Breakfast the next morning was ok, apart from the hair in freshly served beans dish. Not as good of an experience as it should be for the high-end price.

Amazing hotel and resort - lovely spa.
It's so big but it doesn't feel too busy because there are so many different spaces and areas.
We visited for a wedding, there were 3 on at the same time, but you wouldn't have known.
The service was incredible and we can't wait to go back.
Go for the Gin Library!

This on beautiful place. Very expensive but as long as you expect it to be it is a very wonderdul place.

Enjoyed a fantastic wedding here. Staff and facilities were great. Stated at the cottages which were unfortunately across a building site at the time (June 2017). Breakfast amazing, lovely atmosphere in the hotel. Also used the thermal spa and would rate 4 stars also.

Another wonderful experience! Our package was a 2 night stay with breakfast included plus one evening meal and one afternoon tea and use of spa facilities. Our room was spotless and overlooked the river Maine. We last visited in 2018 and More
