The Team at Rocksalt are absolutely fantastic. The size of the room, especially the bathroom, is the drawback. For a short weekend stay probably fine but if you have luggage the lack of space, no closet and a bathroom with a only a v small hand-sink in it doesn’t work well. I also hit my head on the unfortunately placed bathroom wall light which was right infront of the corner hand-sink.p

Small room but extremely high quality for the price. Very comfortable bed! Luxurious wet room. Could not fault this Hotel. There’s also an amazing (award winning) fish and chip shop a 30 second walk away! Can’t be bad!

Hi, we had trouble finding the premises because the introduction video did not work on iPhone somehow. It took about an hr to get someone over to show us. Otherwise, great spot, rooms are very small but functional and everything is brand new. Enjoyed our stay but it would be better if the hotel tells you that no one is available on the premises on Monday and Tuesdays

Lovely rooms in building near main bar/restaurant. Parking a bit further away (on pier) but was fine. Restaurant was excellent (but expensive). They delivered breakfast to our room as we left early - nice touch

Unique Seaside Acommodations

Rocksalt is unique and charming. The guest rooms are housed in a separate building across the small street from the restaurant which also serves as the hotel office. Our small but comfortable room was rustic with exposed brick and wooden beams. We has a wonderful view of the harbor from our Juliet balcony. We enjoyed a great dinner and excellent breakfast at the restaurant.

Cosy but noisy

Be aware, when booking, that this isn't a hotel as such - it is a restaurant that has rooms in a different building (an old smoke house). Whilst the rooms are modern, clean and pleasant, we did find them very noisy. As the property is nestled right on the harbor, you'll be awakened by early morning activity as the adjacent fishmongers and businesses begin their day early. Breakfast was very tasty, and there is a lovely view of the harbor as you eat.

Great service and location but very noisy

The room itself was small but cute. Sufficient for one night stay. However be prepared to be woken up at 6am with the delivery lorries and the light coming through (blinds are not blackout). We were away from our toddler for one night and hoping to have a lie in but were up at 6am! Also breakfast does not start till 9 30 which is a bit late. Cannot fault the food or the service though.
