Overall, we still had a pleasant stay, but it was disappointing not to receive the experience we had originally booked,
Pros:

Stunning, everything you would expect,

Cons:

I booked a Forest Den as a special experience for my partner’s birthday, so I was disappointed to be told at check-in that due to a maintenance issue we were being moved to the main hotel. This was mentioned very quickly at reception, and there was no prior notice before we arrived, which would have been appreciated.

While the hotel room itself was nice and had a hot tub, it wasn’t the experience I had specifically booked and paid for. We also had to make our own way over to the main hotel with our luggage, which wasn’t ideal.

I did raise my concerns, and the staff handled it well — the manager came to apologise and offered us access to the spa the following day, along with a slightly later check-out, which I appreciated. However, the late check-out didn’t feel like much of an added benefit, and the spa access didn’t feel particularly exclusive.

Living on its former reputation . Not that exclusive did to so many groups of women going for the spa
Pros:

Setting is beautiful

Cons:

The restaurant has changed since we last stayed. We didn’t feel it was a good format for the style of the hotel. Staff weren’t very professional & certainly unknowable about wine. We had guests for us for dinner, and it was rather embarrassing.

Relaxing and quality service

Beautiful setting and design

Potential, but completely missed the mark
Pros:

The sauna was good once heated and the accompanying cold bath was great, the decor inside the hut was lovely

Cons:

Sauna took a long time to heat and there was not enough wood supplied to heat it up to an acceptable level. We were told that a few bits of kindling and 1x log was adequate to get it to a decent heat at which there was only 5x logs in the wood pile when we first got there and had to ask for more, this was definitely not the case and had to pay extra for more wood as the wood provided was pine and burnt very quickly. When the second batch was delivered was when we got told about the single log being enough and that one bag would last 3 days, which was very condescending.

The outdoor area felt unfinished and didn't have that detail and finish that we expect from Galgorm where we stay multiple times a year in. Location from the thermal village felt impractically far away, to the pint where we ended up not bothering past 5pm as it was at least a 15minute walk in a bathrobe which wasn't pleasant. The option to get a shuttle/ transfer wasn't offered as an option when we checked in.

By the time the sauna got heated which needed constant attention it was 8pm and we just decided to stay.

The layout of the forest den is not practical for cooking/ preparing food. If the weather was a little worse it would be impossible to prepare anything even though we brought our own BBQ. Shepherds hut layout would be alot more practical. Even the point of putting a dishwasher in feels hilarious even though there is no option to really cook unless you bring your own BBQ, or buy the overpriced disposable option given. There is no fridge available to keep food chilled, there is a charged mini bar which we had to empty in order to keep food in it, this again should have a full size fridge as opposed to a useless dishwasher, and this barely keep anything below room temperature.

Cons:

Dear Galgorm Team,
I am writing to express my disappointment following our recent stay at your resort on the 29th–30th of March, under the booking name Jack Rollston.
We were staying in one of the Shepherd’s Huts and, unfortunately, we were unable to get the heating to work at all throughout the night. As a result, the accommodation was extremely cold, and we were left feeling very uncomfortable. The only reason we managed to get any rest was because my partner had brought an extra blanket and jumper with her.
Given the premium cost of our stay—including the Shepherd’s Hut accommodation, dining, and cocktails—we were very disappointed that such a fundamental aspect of comfort was not met. This significantly impacted our overall experience and meant we were unable to properly enjoy our visit.
I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter and respond with how you intend to address this issue.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
J.Rollston
