Attended Galgorm for a dinner in the river room restaurant. The dinner was tasting menu hosted by a small French champagne house. River room is a stunning, very rich with excellent views out over the estate. Service is what you would except-faultless. All courses good including dessert, find that in many good food restaurants dessert is the poor course. We... More

We stayed overnight on 12th June after attending a family wedding. The setting is absolutely stunning, the service was second to none and the food was amazing. We ourselves had our wedding here almost 15 years ago and this is the first time we have been back since then. This wasn't because we hadn't been impressed, quite the opposite in... More

I requested a room overlooking the waterfall and was pleasantly surprised to find that the request had been granted. I thoroughly enjoyed the thermal spa experience although was disappointed that there was only a few loungers available for relaxing after a visit top one of the hot rooms. We dined in Gillies restaurant on the first evening, and Fratelli on... More

My sister and her husband invited me to this restaurant. It is situated in the very attractive Galgorm Resort and Spa near Ballymena. The estate is a favored wedding destination and deserves the favor as it is an elegant and even stunningly beautiful location for a wedding and reception. The restaurant serves Italian food as one would expect. Our appetizers... More

Stayed at the Galgorm Spa Hotel in April 13 and honestly had the nicest time. When booking weekends away there is always that nagging doubt that all your excitement will be dampened when you arrive and find that the 5 star rating is totally unjustified! I am glad to report on this occasion the excitement was justified. When we drove... More

We booked afternoon tea to celebrate a friend's special birthday and it was a lovely relaxed experience in the River Room with views of the river falls. Service was excellent, the sandwiches, scones and pastries beautiful and coffee never-ending...we managed to drink 4 pots! A lovely treat and highly recommended.
