Good in parts

The bedroom had limited natural light but despite this the decor was mainly dark green This made for a drab feeling. The same colours in the dining room and bar work because of the excellent natural light. The bedroom was much too warm and it found it impossible to adjust the thermostat. And the window lock was jammed so i couldnt open it.On the positive side the staff were pleasant and efficient and the bar and dining rooms are perfect. We only ate breakfast and the food was first class. Looking forward for a chance to enjoy lunch/dinner.

Quiet relaxing post Xmas stay

Excellent stay at The Salthouse. We visited a few days after Christmas for a relax and recharge and it was perfect for that. The bar area was well decorated and lovely atmosphere by the fire. Spa was small but restricted numbers meant it wasn’t busy. Meal in the main restaurant was nice if not spectacular but service, drink selection and atmosphere made it a very pleasant evening. Recommend for couples or small groups.

A fine modern hotel with superb views of Fairhead, Rarthlin Island and beyond. What made our stay special was undoubtedly the staff in the restaurant and bar. All of the young waitresses had a great sense of humour, balanced with good manners, and were able to engage in appropriate banter with us. Stuffiness was distinctly absent and will encourage us back again. All-in-all a wonderful experience.

Perfect couples getaway

We stayed one night as a couple and paid 20 pounds for one hour in the thermal suite which was great value. Didn't have time for any spa treatments. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious, as was breakfast. Everything was fantastic and would definitely return.

Was blown away straight away by the amazing views across to Rathlin and Torr Head. Salthouse layout and style is unique and first class. Staff were just wonderful and service was second to none. Food was outstanding - amazing dinner and breakfast delicious with particular emphasis on presentation and quality. A truly memorable stay - will definitely be back!

Excellent night away

We had an amazing night! The location, the setting and the scenery were all super good. The facilities were great, we really enjoyed the spa (extra charge) the room was really nicely decorated but no bath tub (room 115) we were a little disappointed as we thought it would have a bathtub but apparently only 2 rooms have due to the eco friendly efforts. Plenty of free parking, the Lookout pub was very nice and clean with great scenery and the food was excellent and cocktails delightful. It set our stay off very nicely. The downside to the stay was the food in the main restaurant, very bland and tasteless, we both thought the same, they say breakfast is made to order, but tasted like it was pre-warmed and like dinner was tasteless. It was the only downside to a super, super stay.

We stayed for two nights. The hotel is situated with superb views and the the decor and gardens are beautiful. The staff were friendly. We used the spa which is not included. It was fine but we asked for towels and then none were brought until we asked again. We had dinner in the restuarant. We ordered a cocktail which didnt arrive until we asked again for it but we were billed twice. Once on the room bill (alongside ither drinks which weren't ours) and on the dinner bill. Dinner took over an hour and was cold. The staff were great and removed the items without being asked when we said dinner was fine. Breakfast was ok on the first day but improved on the quieter second day. Cakes etc looked fantastic. We were given some complimentary macarones for a special stay which were lovely and a very nice touch but the used plate wasnt removed when the bins were emptied/ milk refreshed. I'm not sure if it is a covid measure but the bed wasnt made again either. Overall a beautiful hotel

Away to go to get up to scratch

I’ve already email the manager to give feedback and I’ve heard nothing back from them. We couldn’t get a drink inside the bar as it was booked with people eating even thou we were residents. We had to sit outside in courtyard with coats and heaters on which wasnt pleasant. The smallest pot for side sauce which didn’t cover half the steak and the charged a premium for an extra sauce than wasn’t much bigger. £20 pp for use of hotel facilities which is not worth the money as we feel should be available to residents. Very expensive for what you actually get. Rooms where lovely but they have a lot listening to customers to get feedback.

Post pandemic issues?

Beautiful resort with great service and a great restaurant. However, after specifically booking a "superior: twin room with an ocean view we were disappointed to initially be offered a single room and then moved to a twin room with no ocean view. Also disappointing was the fact use of the spa was not included in the price and we were limited to a one hour stay. We were delayed making our reserved time slot due to the room mix up yet didn't receive any extra time or much of an apology. I feel some of these issues may be due to post pademic re-opening and this is a beautiful property with very friendly staff but at this price point I hope for some improvements!
