Great stay overall. Had issue with room on arrival but was quickly and efficiently dealt with which showed great customer service. Hotel and the Spa were amazing restaurant and bar area were well decorated for Christmas and very homely and comforting. It was busy but still the service was quick and friendly. Would recommend the hotel and would love to go back

Definitely not the standard of the Galgorm. Evening menu for valentines weekend was poor and the atmosphere in the restaurant on 13th Feb left a lot to be desired as 2 guests where having an argument for everyone to hear. I would describe the Rabbit as the Galgorm's poor relative.
