"A wonderful location looking over towards the River Maine."
Overview
Standing in 550 acres of private woodland and sweeping lawns beside the River Maine, Galgorm is set around a 19th-century mansion. The Thermal Spa Village is a major draw, and has perhaps the most extensive offering in the UK. The heart of the spa is the 'Thermal Village', which contains many different elements and facilities located across four spa gardens - Riverside, Alpine, Walled and Forest - including pools and hot tubs, a salt cave, sanarium, saunas, a snow cabin and a restaurant.
