Top Spot

Our stay was fantastic. It’s lovely to feel that you’re spoilt in a place and it’s even a little better than if you were home(!) Things like the GHD hairdryer, the Dyson(?) heater, the complimentary mini bar, the bath bomb the gorgeous coffee pods and the pillow spray all add to the feeling that you’re definitely on holiday and spoilt! Galgorm has taken the top spot in our list of places we most like to stay - we will look forward to our next opportunity to be back.

All Round Top Class 11/10

Firstly the staff on check in were amazing. Couldnt have been anymore helpful. The facilities are the best ive ever seen. The range of eateries on site are top class. We got a Woodpecker delivered to our sheppards hut and it was delicious. The Sheppards hut itself is outstanding. So comfy and homely. We could live here. Cant wait to get back and stay again.
