My experience with Galgorm manner was amazing!
The staff couldn't have been more helpful, they were great!
The spa had everything I needed and more! I was so impressed!
My only wish was that I had known a large drink could be added to my lunch for an extra £1 and dessert could have been added for £4 as when I left the spa to go to the restarunt in my rove I didn't gave money with me as so had prepaid. In hone sight I wish I had a little money in my rove so I could have taken advantage of this.
Overall it was an amazing experience!!!
The sauna ritual was fantastic - 3 aromas filled the sauna. This was a great experience.
The spa village was beautiful from the snow cabin, sauna, Jacuzzis, heated loungers, steam room, heated fire as well as the resturant. Beautiful view of the river and although busy never felt crammed.
The spa check in was just ok - not the treatments we booked. The therapist asked my friend how would she like her massage pressure when she was getting a facial!
The therapists hadn't read the health screening forms.
Tge treatments were at 5:30pm on the Friday, there were no treats left that appeared to be there earlier.
My daughter and I had a lovely day from our lovely lunch and glass of bubbly, to all the thermal spa experiences and a Rasal treatment and finishing off with a lovely cup of hot chocolate. Excellent Value. Staff were all very courteous. Early afternoon was a great time to go as all the facilities had few people. By 4pm it was starting to get busy.
I had a great time at the spa. The only issue I had was, included in our package should have been a glass of prosecco but we weren't Given the voucher for it. I had to ask the staff and show the email as proof and they very kindly provided me with a drinks voucher however, I do think I shouldn't have had to do that.

When we arrived the time of our spa treatment was 30mins earlier than we had booked with spa breaks, we did not get a junior suite with a balcony as booked and we did not receive our complimentary bubbly. The treatment was amazing and the staff around the hotel were great. Just a shame some things were not as promised a we were away for my husbands birthday.
