At Saltmoore, many guests appreciate the luxurious and spacious rooms, some featuring extra-large beds and well-equipped bathrooms with both showers and bathtubs. The spa facilities are a definite highlight, offering excellent treatments and a swimming pool. Dining is also a popular aspect, with the breakfast-including pastries, smoothies, fresh fruit, and cooked options-being particularly well-received; however, some guests have occasionally found the cleanliness of seating areas could be improved. The hotel's location provides convenient access to the sea and Sandsend.

The location is great. I liked that i could explore nearby areas.
Our experience was just underwhelming. I only learned this at checkout and faced an unexpected charge. also, the bar was often unattended. I had to clear and wipe down our own table since no staff were available.

Really good Stay

great breakfastconvenient buggyfriendly staff
The breakfast offered a wonderful start to the day. Buggies provided transport between the main hotel building and the beach house (this was a lifesaver for my toddler and me). Every staff member I encountered was lovely, which I really appreciated.
The absence of some toiletries from the bathroom proved to be a slight inconvenience.

Lovely Stay in a Maisonette

rainforest showerlarge bedroomsalty dish
Our stay included access to a maisonette. This maisonette featured two floors. The sitting room and toilet were downstairs. A rainforest shower was also located downstairs. The large bedroom was on the first floor.
The vegetarian dishes in the restaurant were below standard. The restaurant manager did not acknowledge this issue. One dish was very salty and inedible. The replacement mozzarella dish was tasteless.
