We stayed for three nights and the hotel itself is lovely. We dined in the restaurant one evening and the food was good, but the overall experience didn’t quite match the price or setting. Our 8pm booking coincided with a table of two one-year-olds—no crying, just typical baby chatter, but enough to take away from what feels like an adult, fine-dining atmosphere. It’s clear the restaurant welcomes families, so it’s something to be aware of if you’re expecting a quieter, more refined evening. For us, it didn’t align with the ambiance we anticipated at this price point, so we won’t be dining there again during our stay. For context, our meal (nibbles, mains, shared dessert, and a bottle of wine) came to £230.

We have just got back from a two night break at Saltmoore and what a fantastic experience it was. From the moment we arrived everything was perfect, we booked a Divine room which was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, lovely spacious shower with wonderful smelling toiletries. We ate in the brasserie on our first night and the food was amazing, my starter of quail stuffed pasta was one of the best things I have ever tasted. We both had 3 courses and couldn't fault anything. We visited the spa a couple of times and it was very relaxing. The gardens are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a drink admiring the view. All staff we spoke to were very friendly and polite. We definitely hope to return.

We booked an overnight stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious with everything you could want. Restaurant food was very high quality and service was excellent. Really can’t fault it.
