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.

Wonderful location, spa open 10-6 and xtra charge.
Great accommodations, comfortable rooms, very large room and bathroom, wonderful breakfast included in stay. Would like to see the hotel offer guests access to the outdoor hot tub and saunas free of charge until 10/11pm. This is standard at a spa hotel. The spa charges 💷 for guests to access amenities. The amenities close quite early as well, which is unfortunate.

From start to finish the customer service was of a high standard - staff very attentive - food and drinks exceptional and breakfast was a delight - the attention to detail really made the stay.
If I was to criticise this hotel it would be that the rooms and the main restaurant do not have air conditioning - we were however provided with a fan.
The spa, staff and treatments were excellent- despite renovations in place.
Would highly recommend this hotel and have already booked to come back.

Such a wonderful stay here with easy, accessible parking. The staff were friendly and we were able to have plenty gluten free menu options.
We also enjoyed the onsite spa (pre booked) which had the best sauna I’ve been in in a long time; WITH ocean views!
Highly recommend staying here!

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.

Had another amazing stay. Staff hotel facilities all 2nd to none. Rooms are spacious & spotlessly clean. My only grip is the pillows. They are way to hard for me. I personally prefer a soft pillow but would not let this deter me from returning.

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.
