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.

Changing rooms weren't the cleanest
We knew that 1st January would be a busy time at the hotel and the number of customers didnt bother us but there didnt seem to be enough staff to maintain the cleanliness in the changing facilities during the day which was disappointing.

Review of Forest Den Spa
Unfortunately, my experience at Forest Den did not meet my expectations. I spent a significant amount of time trying to get the fire started for the wood-fired sauna and bath. Given that we booked the Forest Den specifically for these amenities, I was disappointed. We checked in at 3 PM, hoping to relax in the sauna and bath before dinner. However, it took over three hours to heat the sauna, which only stayed warm for a short time. Even after five hours, the bath remained cold, primarily due to the soaking wet firewood, which made it difficult to ignite the fire. I called reception three times over four hours, and each time, more wet logs were delivered. Around 7 PM, a staff member offered to assist with the fire, but since we had dinner reservations at 8:15, it felt unnecessary at that point. He suggested we ask reception to light the sauna and bath for us while we were at dinner, which we did, but upon our return, we found that nothing had been done. I attempted to heat the bath again, but it seemed unlikely we could achieve a proper temperature given the wood provided. The restaurant is not within walking distance, and although we arranged for a taxi for 8 PM, it didn't arrive until 8:30 without any prior notice of the delay. On a positive note, both breakfast and dinner were very nice, and the staff were all very friendly. For the price point the forest den was not worth it!

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.

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
