Plans are also in progress to upgrade each of the 32 bedrooms, while junior suites will incorporate bespoke finishing touches including free-standing copper baths whilst the larger suite boasts its own private balcony complete with hot tub.

The exclusive Cottage accommodation situated in the grounds of The Old Inn will also come complete with its own secluded outdoor hot tub for the ultimate in tranquility.

Not only that but the development of a brand-new Tree Top Spa, featuring a vitality pool, two hot tubs, steam room and sauna and forest view relax space are also progressing as are plans to reimagine the hotel’s two wedding spaces.

Colin Johnston, Galgorm Collection Managing Director, said: “After more than four months of extensive renovations and a strategic investment of £1 million, we’re excited to finally reveal The Old Inn’s brand new look and to welcoming guests and visitors from Friday 3 September.

“We’ve significantly invested in remodeling the bar and restaurant area, upgrading room specifications and constructing a brand new outdoor spa area which will open in the new year.

“We’re delighted to throw open the doors to visitors and guests alike and to welcome back the full Old Inn staff team to deliver the first-class service which Galgorm is renowned for.
