Ballygarry is a treat from the moment you arrive, prepare to be spoilt and warmly welcomed!
Pros:

Had a wonderful welcome by staff, even helped with our bags to the room - room was gorgeous, seating area, bath spotless and the cosiest bed. Steph had followed up with my booking previously on a matter and was so very professional and warm. Every effort was made to make us feel so welcome, very warm greeting from every staff person we interacted with - could not have done more for us - our visit to Nadur Spa was divine! So impressed I got a gift cert for a family member to use.

Perfect in every way - 100% recommend!
Pros:

Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff at every customer touchpoint were brilliant and made for such an enjoyable experience. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a junior suite upon arrival which made the stay extra special. The room and bathroom space were huge with all amenities and comforts you could think of. The food in the Brasserie was exceptional. We also made use of the spa facilities which I can fully recommend. The grounds and walking trails were beautiful. This was a really special trip and we would definitely return!

Cons:

Unfortunately the fine dining restaurant was not open during our stay due to the time of year although we did get a taster of this by having our final breakfast in this room! We were also slightly disheartened that there was not a pool as part of the spa however, the booking process means that the spa is never overcrowded and you can make use of the outdoor hot tubs which were lovely.
