Relaxing stay at the Salthouse Hotel.

Enjoyable stay at the Salthouse Hotel in Ballycastle. Room was large and comfortable and very clean. Decor throughout the hotel was lovely and allthe public areas were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was cooked to order and very good. The hotel sits in a prominent position above the town with amazing views from the restaurants.

Serene and calm with great views from the bar. The room was spacious and neutral, a few signs of wear and tear but more than sufficient for a one night stay. Every member of the hotel team was active and attentive, nobody was idle. My room opened directly on to the courtyard, which was novel. A delightful surprise were the hotel cats who appeared outside my door before breakfast.

Upon arrival our room was quite dirty however, the front desk staff addressed it immediately and sent in cleaners to tidy up. The location is stunning. The breakfast was great as was our dinner at the Lookout. The mattresses were really hard though, like sleeping on concrete. Only spent one night.

The room Was extremely warm with no apparent way to reduce the temperature! Spa was fully booked during our stay to even use the hot tub 😞 it was our 20th wedding anniversary and a little complimentary drink or surprise in the room would have been nice….

As a late check in i watched the one person at reception deal with a telephone reservation for almost 20 minutes.....when i was finally checked in...the room temperature was 24c with no A/C. They did provide a fan but it took ages for the room to cool down. At very least the windows should have been opened.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Almost, but not quite.

A lovely hotel in a gorgeous setting. All of the staff were delightful and helpful. Only a few small things took away from the stay, 1. It's a spa hotel - and while it's not obvious anywhere on the website, you must pay £20 per person / per hour to use the spa. For a £200+ per night hotel - this just seems a bit cheap. Every other spa hotel I've been to allows free use of the spa to all residents. Limited use and booking is fine, but charging - no. Not only that, the "Spa" consists of a plastic hot tub that fits 4 - and it's communal. A tiny wooden sauna, that would fit 2. And a small steam room, in a clinical room with some heated loungers. Dissapointing to say the least. 2. Dinner in the main restaurant - this was a miss. Excellent service, but the kitchen is lacking. It took ages to arrive and my £35 sirloin steak, ordered medium was well done, and bizarrely bland without a good sear. It was an insult to the meat the way it was cooked. My wife's fish meal, ordered hake but subbed for cod - was OK and no more. 3. And lastly, the place while pretty new, is starting to age. Hot tap in main toilets broken, shower head in our room broken, causing rubbish flow and unable to wash hair. Loud construction right outside our room, starting at 8:00am - and I mean welding and heavy machinery. Not quite the spa vibe we were looking for. So, a lot of good - and there is investment in improvement - but our stay was sub par, and we won't be back. Galgorm is a superior stay.
