Serene and calm with great views from the bar. The room was spacious and neutral, a few signs of wear and tear but more than sufficient for a one night stay. Every member of the hotel team was active and attentive, nobody was idle. My room opened directly on to the courtyard, which was novel. A delightful surprise were the hotel cats who appeared outside my door before breakfast.

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.

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.
