Northern Ireland’s premier luxury Resort and Spa, situated only 30 minutes from Belfast, is the perfect location to relax and get away from it all. Set within 450 acres of lush parkland, with the spectacular River Maine flowing through the estate, Galgorm Resort has a truly unique setting. This Resort is home to 125 luxurious guestrooms including Deluxe rooms, Junior and Signature Suites, as well as Lodge accommodation options that include Cottage Suites, Log Cabins, Forest Dens and Shepherd’s- Ideally located on the scenic Antrim coast, only 26 miles from Belfast and close to Larne, the Ballygally Castle faces the soft, sandy beaches of Ballygally Bay. The Castle dates back to 1625 and is unique in that it is the only 17th Century building still used as a residence in Northern Ireland today. The 54 bedrooms at the Ballygally Castle are full of character and charm. Beautiful, original beamed ceilings, combined with tasteful contemporary decor, add to the welcoming atmosphere. From the beautiful Antrim Suite, with its spectacular panoramic views to the new Garden wing and the original period rooms, uniquely shaped by the castle’s imposing architecture - the choice is yours.
- Set in its own grounds on the outskirts of Ballymena, the hotel is an imposing country residence dating from 1890 which has been sympathetically converted to retain its former style and character. The purpose built conference and banqueting suite can accommodate up to 840 seated guests. The famous six course Carvery Restaurant and Bistro Menu are available everyday.
