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!

Best ever stay, #1

This hotel is everything and more, from the check-in to checkout was great, the rooms are spacious and spotless. The restaurant and bar is amazing. The choice of food and drinks on offer fantastic. The breakfast included in the price is unbelievable, so good we are going back next year.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Edward, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

This was such a surprise find on our trip to Ireland. Perched on top of a hill overlooking the rolling hills of Ballycastle and the ocean. You could not find a better view for dinner. Our room was nice and quiet, meals were great and easy to reserve. Staff was exceptional.

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.
