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.

Very enjoyable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Salthouse. Our room was very spacious with a lovely big bathroom and very comfortable bed. We had a meal in the main restaurant which was very good value and delicious. What also impressed us was breakfast served to your table meaning it was freshly cooked and hot. We will definitely return and recommend it to our friends.

Great stay at the salt house

We had a great night in the salt house, food and service was amazing. Bar is cosy. Spa is quite small hence you have to book but they are improving it at the minute which I’m sure will be lovely when it’s finished.

I left the Salthouse at 8:30 am to attend an all day meeting. I returned after 5pm to find that my room had not been serviced - towels nor changed, bathroom not cleaned, bed not maid, bin not emptied and tea/coffee facilities not replenished. I went to reception and spoke to TAYLOR - who did NOT apologise but told me to go to the car to wait whilst my room was cleaned. I was not offered any refreshments ( complimentary or not). I waited until a member of the housekeeping team came to the bar to tell me that my room was now cleaned. Again, there was no apology. The next morning on checkout, my bill fully paid, I asked to see the manager about a complaint.? I was told that the most senior manager on site was the restaurant manager. When he arrived, Intokd hill about the non cleaning/servicing of my room the day before. He said he would pass my complaint on. I specifically asked for an email response to explain why my room was not cleaned/ serviced in Saturday 8 February . I have not received any communication - email or otherwise from the Salthouse Hotel - to apologise for the shoddy service. I do not believe that they care and the experience as a solo female traveller left me feeling unvalued and substandard as a guest.

Excellent dining experience and food, really good staff and service. Excellent decor in room. Ventilation in room not to our liking though. Very warm and only way to cool the temperature (after turning radiator down) or get more air was to open window as no air conditioning at least in our room. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Lovely hotel, our first time staying here. Brilliant atmosphere for dinner with live music, cocktails and great food. Also enjoyed lunch at the lookout restaurant. Staff were fantastic, really friendly and helpful. Beautiful sunrise this morning over the cliffs. Very relaxing break.

We enjoyed our stay, lovely venue in a great location with amazing views. The spa facility isn’t fantastic and when booking our stay, we did not realise that you need to pay another £20 per per person per hour to use the spa facilities. This seemed very expensive for what it was and I think it’s unfair to only get the facilities for an hour. Plus the spa is only open until 6pm so it really limits our spa experience. I wouldn’t be in a rush back due to this.
