Chillaxing weekend

My husband & i where there for a relaxing weekend & thats exactly what we got. Everything about this place is amazing. They are extending it atm & i cannot wait to go back & see what the new facilities are. The spa is small but adequate, so relaxing. Views from the hot tub are amazing.

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.

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.

Lovely hotel, our first time staying here. Brilliant atmosphere for dinner with live music, cocktails and great food. Also enjoyed lunch at the lookout restaurant. Staff were fantastic, really friendly and helpful. Beautiful sunrise this morning over the cliffs. Very relaxing break.

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.
Jonathan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent dining experience and food, really good staff and service. Excellent decor in room. Ventilation in room not to our liking though. Very warm and only way to cool the temperature (after turning radiator down) or get more air was to open window as no air conditioning at least in our room. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

The property gave you outstanding views from every angle. It was beautiful inside and outside. The food choices were amazing and presentation was perfect.The staff in every area were superb in their manners, knowledge and service. We look forward to returning. The Salt House is a star in our memory!

The rooms were good, clean and comfortable. We arrived with a very sick son, the staff treated us like family and gave us all the help we could ask for. Ballycastle is a lovely town and well worth visiting along with the entire Causeway Coastal Route.
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay, lovely venue in a great location with amazing views. The spa facility isn’t fantastic and when booking our stay, we did not realise that you need to pay another £20 per per person per hour to use the spa facilities. This seemed very expensive for what it was and I think it’s unfair to only get the facilities for an hour. Plus the spa is only open until 6pm so it really limits our spa experience. I wouldn’t be in a rush back due to this.
Gary, 1-night trip

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.
