Beautiful Location.

We recently stayed here for a wedding, and overall had a good experience. The location is fantastic, beautiful views of the coast, definitely the main selling point for the hotel. The ground floor of the hotel is especially lovely, with a great courtyard that’s perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was very good, with loads of choice and generous portions. Our room was spacious, but a little tired in places. The shower head kept falling off and the water pressure wasn’t great, which took away from the overall comfort. We didn’t get to explore much of the hotel or nearby areas because of the wedding, but for the price, we expected a bit more. We were also surprised to be charged £20 for a late checkout of just 60 minutes, especially as the hotel didn’t seem particularly busy. Other places we’ve stayed recently have been more flexible with this, so it felt a bit excessive. That said, we’d still recommend the hotel, the location and atmosphere are great - but a few small improvements would go a long way.

The view and facilities at this hotel are excellent but the real star has to be the staff who go above and beyond in all aspects of your stay, reception staff are just wonderful. Spa is quiet and tranquil nothing extravagant but enough to relax and very private. Bar and restaurant staff were always friendly and helpful.

The bedroom was large with a super comfy bed and a very well equipped big modern shower room. All so clean.. The views are amazing over Rathlin Island and Fair head. We'll be back

My family loved staying at The Salthouse! It is a beautiful hotel overlooking the ocean with nice sized rooms and bathrooms. We tried both restaurants and they were both wonderful. The towels in the bathroom were the best towels I’ve used ever! I’m going to look them up and buy them. The staff was so nice and welcoming. We literally had a perfect stay here. The location was also perfect for us as it’s right next to all of the scenic locations on the causeway coast, it took just a few minutes to get to each one: carrick-a-rede, giants causeway, dunluce castle, dark hedges, and more. Highly highly recommend!

Amazing Weekend! Very Attentive Staff!

Amazing Weekend, this place does ooze quality, the only mark down was our room location, which was nobodys fault, just unlucky, did prove to be a problem as the room temperature was very warm, but we could not open the window as we were next to bin store, which was quite noisy. We also used the spa facilities, but this was another mark down as in our opinion, they were pretty basic and if you are residents, you should certainly not have to pay for these facilities, which are basic to say the least. If you do use the spa, check out the floatation tank, very relaxing! Shout out to 2 members of Staff, Paul in the The Lookout restaurant and also Prushad, nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely situation, mixed experience

This was our first time at The Salthouse both for dinner and staying. Positive points were the friendliness of all the staff from reception to cleaners. Bedroom was specious, bed comfortable and all clean, as was bathroom. Dinner was fabulous. Both of us had steak and it was devine. Breakfast was also good. There was a cake stand on each table housing small glasses of fresh fruit and yogurt, and pastries. Coffee was good as was my smoked salmon and hubby's fry. A couple of negative issues arose when we realised the name on our key card was not ours. Not sure who got the better room because of this? Unfortunately the view from our room was onto a bank that was covered in litter and plastic bags stuck in a wire fence. The shower looked very modern and pretty but had little power. We did not use the spa. The cost to use the hot tub and sauna was £20 each which I thought, given the price of the room, should have been included for residents.

Very enjoyable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Salthouse. Our room was very spacious with a lovely big bathroom and very comfortable bed. We had a meal in the main restaurant which was very good value and delicious. What also impressed us was breakfast served to your table meaning it was freshly cooked and hot. We will definitely return and recommend it to our friends.

Great stay at the salt house

We had a great night in the salt house, food and service was amazing. Bar is cosy. Spa is quite small hence you have to book but they are improving it at the minute which I’m sure will be lovely when it’s finished.
