Where to stay

After a day of adventure, head back to a suite at the Galgorm (left). Overlooking the River Maine, the spa has saunas and steam rooms, heated pools and riverside hot tubs. Once relaxed and renewed, make for the River Room restaurant for fine fare showcasing local producers (B&B from £250pp; galgorm.com). After somewhere to stay with your dog? The Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy has rooms to please pet and owner. Go for walkies around the Game of Thrones’ ‘Iron Islands’ (B&B from £100pp; fullerton-arms.com).
