Superb stay, as usual

We always love staying at the Salthouse. Our stay was superb, as always. Staff are great, and really glad parking seems to be a lot better now by having staff park your car in an overflow car park for you

The hotel is right by the harbour with a pretty view. The street in front is one way and not a thoroughfare, so was quiet. The hotel is a few minutes walk to the centre of town, and there are many pubs and restaurants close by. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

Beautiful hotel, would return.

Hotel was beautiful, it was our 10 year anniversary and we were delighted to find we’d been given a complimentary upgrade to a copper bath room. Staff were lovely, only had breakfast at the hotel as we dined out in the evening but breakfast was great. Cocktails were also great.

The hotel is situated in a great location overlooking the marina. The valet parking was a great service. The restaurant was superb and they catered very well for my wife's coeliac condition. The room was wonderful. Would definitely return if ever in that area.

As wonderful as always. But a room with a Copper bath and Balcony - that I've been lucky enough to be upgraded to in the past - would be the ULTIMATE gift.

Great pet friendly hotel

Great pet friendly hotel. Very modern, spacious and comfortable room. My only observation was that there was no means to regulate room temperature, either up or down. It was good that it was a typical British summer and wasn’t too hot.
