When booking, we had no idea the property was so new. It was in a beautiful location, scenic, plenty of free parking. Breakfast was excellent, and we ate at the pizza place instead of in the formal restaurant only because we were not very hungry.

Quiet relaxing post Xmas stay
Excellent stay at The Salthouse. We visited a few days after Christmas for a relax and recharge and it was perfect for that. The bar area was well decorated and lovely atmosphere by the fire. Spa was small but restricted numbers meant it wasn’t busy. Meal in the main restaurant was nice if not spectacular but service, drink selection and atmosphere made it a very pleasant evening. Recommend for couples or small groups.

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.

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 truly memorable stay in Ballycastle!!
Was blown away straight away by the amazing views across to Rathlin and Torr Head. Salthouse layout and style is unique and first class. Staff were just wonderful and service was second to none. Food was outstanding - amazing dinner and breakfast delicious with particular emphasis on presentation and quality. A truly memorable stay - will definitely be back!

Excellent night away
We had an amazing night! The location, the setting and the scenery were all super good. The facilities were great, we really enjoyed the spa (extra charge) the room was really nicely decorated but no bath tub (room 115) we were a little disappointed as we thought it would have a bathtub but apparently only 2 rooms have due to the eco friendly efforts. Plenty of free parking, the Lookout pub was very nice and clean with great scenery and the food was excellent and cocktails delightful. It set our stay off very nicely. The downside to the stay was the food in the main restaurant, very bland and tasteless, we both thought the same, they say breakfast is made to order, but tasted like it was pre-warmed and like dinner was tasteless. It was the only downside to a super, super stay.
