Old Inn spa to open in December after Galgorm revamp

The Old Inn, Crawfordsburn, is to open its new outdoor spa from December 1 following a £2.5 million investment in the historic property.

The new Treetop Spa at The Old Inn will offer offers guests unrivalled forest views stretching out to the North Down coastline and will see the addition of a range of new experiences including a hydrotherapy pool, steam room, sauna, hot tubs and relax space .

Since buying the property in April 2021, Galgorm Collection has set about an extensive refurbishment programme including revamping its cosy 1614 bar and the 120-seater Old Inn restaurant.

Galgorm Collection is also upgrading all 32 guestrooms as part of plans to revitalise and upgrade the historic destination, in line with other Collection properties.

Speaking about the improvements, Colin Johnston, Galgorm Collection Managing Director, said: “The Old Inn is one of Northern Ireland’s most historic hotels and we have carefully considered our refurbishment works to ensure we remain sympathetic to the property’s history and retain its much-loved charm whilst also giving it the ‘Galgorm’ treatment, bringing this in line with our other award-winning properties.

“After centuries of providing warm hospitality to guests and travellers, the time is right to further invest in this iconic property to expand its offering and widen its appeal to attract more local, national and international visitors.

Charlotte McClean, Manager at The Old Inn, commented: “As we continue to progress our planned redevelopment works, I’m delighted to confirm that the new Treetop Spa will open to residents from 1 December. This has been a long-awaited project and we’re already experiencing strong demand for bookings with guests eager to enjoy an exciting new outdoor spa offering within a stunning landscape.

“We’re also excited to welcome our wonderful neighbours, who are the lifeblood of the property, to enjoy a new-look offering, with new seasonal menus available in our restaurant and our cosy 1614 bar undergoing a refresh to also welcome dogs for the first time.”
