    Our room needed a little maintenance, but if folk don't say anything, the hotel remains unaware. I quietly mentioned it.

    A beautiful location, nice rooms and a fantastic breakfast. The Lookout for dinner was a happy place.

    Working in an expensive hotel myself , the fact the spa isn’t included in the already expensive room is honestly ridiculous. £20 per person onto off the room price is daylight robbery as the spa is so small .

    Beautiful room so comfy , netlfix and the hot chocolate sachets in the room was a nice touch as I don’t drink tea or coffee . Food and drinks delicious and staff lovely .

    Food in restaurant could be leveled up - was ok but underwhelming. Spa treatment very disappointing - inexperienced staff ( albeit very friendly) meant I paid for a massage and left essentially still needing one..

    Incredible views, large comfortable rooms, beautiful decor and design throughout. Bar staff very attentive.

    Only minor thing - the room was so hot!!! Tried and failed to turn heating off, not great for an Eco hotel.

    Beautiful setting and very friendly staff whose service was great - special mention to Rahul and Cathy who were so lovely.

    The woman at the front desk when we checked in and experienced too hit a room exuded a vibe that we were not approved of. We asked about a mobile AC units because our room was so hot and uncomfortable and she was less than helpful, explaining it was an eco friendly resort and that it wasn’t appropriate to have AC.

    Luxurious.

    The afternoon reception staff members were cold fish. Not a welcoming place. The property was not particularly close to town—too far to safely walk. We had a crap view from our room, and our side of the courtyard , right in front of our room door, had a shed filled with construction materials and stored items—not aesthetically pleasing at all. Loud-slamming room door.

    A great breakfast with a gorgeous view. The rooms were spacious. Nice bathing products.

    No issues.

    The room was huge and one of the nicest we have stayed in. Dining and drinks were excellent and great value for money. The waiters were super friendly and accommodating. The hotel is a work in progress, so we look forward to the new additions when we return again. We took a walk around the property and the cabins available to book look lovely. We did not make use of the spa facilities but will do next time.

    We like everything. The rooms the views, the outside area...9 out of 10...

    This is the 6th time we've been to The Salthouse..we just love it. We go twice a year. The new restaurant outside The Lookout is really lovely and the food delicious for casual dining. We found that prices had gone up in the hotel restaurant since March 2023..

    Beds were a bit small and uncomfortable for my liking (and given the price point). Also no aircon which made the room quite stuffy at night (even with windows open). Breakfasts were delicious but heavy - an option of cereal or porridge would have been good, especially for kids.

    Great location, stunning views, wonderful eco philosophy. Staff were very attentive, and friendly with our kids. Decor and vibe was really relaxing.
