Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Galgorm's thermal village, noting its phenomenal and extensive facilities with indoor and outdoor hot tubs, swimming pools, saunas, and steam rooms, including the blissfully relaxing double water beds in private cabanas overlooking the river. Dining experiences, especially at Gillies and the Castle Kitchen restaurant (with convenient transport provided), receive high marks, along with the beautiful breakfast served with a river view. Some guests have mentioned occasional waits for service, but overall, the cottages are considered spacious and cozy, providing a perfect escape to relax and recharge near attractions like Glenariff Forest and the Giant's Causeway.

i stayed in a log cabin, it was nice and neat. the staff were very pleasant. the spa is a little piece of heaven i found it relaxing.
I stayed in the hotel for one night last weekend. I loved every minute of it. my tab had not been properly closed on check out, and a guest added cocktails on to my tab. Galgorm had zero security measures in place.

I stayed in a Two Bedroom Cottage. The cottage included a private hot tub, which I used daily. The kitchen door had a runner. It kept sticking up so I covered it with a suitcase to prevent tripping.
The towel radiator in one of the bathrooms was not working properly. Showers required using the thermal village changing rooms.
