Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Saltmoore guests consistently praise the spacious and luxurious rooms, some featuring balconies with views of the beautiful grounds. The brasserie stands out as a dining highlight, especially the breakfast, which is known for its immense selection; the pizzas from the beach house are also a popular choice. While parking can sometimes involve a bit of a walk, the hotel's location provides a short walk to the beach. However, a few guests have noted minor issues with room design details.

huge spread great choice awful service long wait
The breakfast was amazing (especially the pastries). It had a huge spread with lots of choice.
I had a reservation for dinner, but the service was awful. I waited over 20 minutes for my order to be taken and nearly an hour for the main course. It was a shame because I was looking forward to this, but the wait put me off.
