Beautiful hotel in a stunning setting, overlooking the sea Our room in one of the seaview suites, a short walk from hotel entrance, was very well appointed, with a seperate seating area with comfortable sofa, TV and tea/coffee making facilities. It also had an uninterrupted view of the beautiful coastline..well worth the extra money to enhance your stay!

Beautiful hotel

The accommodations were very nice — a beautiful hotel with plenty of options. Both dining areas were lovely: one casual and the other more formal, offering nice variety. The hotel staff were pleasant and accommodating throughout my stay. However, the waitress in the formal dining room was quite impersonal and unfriendly, which was disappointing. The hotel offers great views of the ocean and is in a decent location, not too far from the causeway. Overall, a very nice stay with just a small area for improvement in service.

Our stay at the Salthouse was the highlight of our tour of N Ireland. The setting with the most amazing views, the standard of food and service and the decor were all amazing.only minus point was the ‘duo’ playing in the bar in evening. (18.30-20.00) Tuneless! However the guitarist later on was brilliant! In all one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at! Food was first class AND there’s 3 resident cats in the grounds.

On my last night in Northern Ireland I stayed at the Salthouse. After a busy week visiting family and sightseeing this was a welcome balm for my soul. The view from the property was outstanding. The room was excellent and the breakfast served was the very best Not the place to miss!

It was our class get together and we wanted 30 plus rooms. The booking process was clear and easy. This is beautiful, aesthetic yet simplistically designed clean property, eco friendly ( have their own wind mill!!) with wonderful staff and provision of eco-homes as well as rooms. Wonderfully perched atop a hillock with fabulous views. Rooms are ample sized with good sized toilet and wonderful local soaps and shampoo. Both restaurants on site are good, great for a relaxed dinner or a fast food with pizza, pasta and drinks. Breakfast is really good with excellent tasty options. Chef, serving staff are friendly and courteous, and simply excellent. Easy to drive to causeway, rope bridge and walk to Ballycastle beach with its unique estuary ( walking back has steep gradient as the hotel is on the top of the hill). Excellent for wedding, class or family get together or a family break ( can use eco homes). 45 minutes to Belfast International airport ( City airport is nearly hour and a half). Try coastal drive at least once. Thank you The Salthouse team, keep the standards up.
