Set in spacious grounds just outside Ballycastle, with sea views across the town, this four-star eco hotel opened in 2019 and owner Denis McHenry has since continued to develop it to create a unique eco-destination with wide appeal.
Eco lodges offer an accessible alternative to the scandi-chic hotel rooms for families and groups for example, and the spa takes full advantage of the location, with indoor and outdoor features enjoying views towards Rathlin Island.
The hotel's exceptional eco credientials include a wind turbine, solar panels and heat exchange units that provide power and heating water, while systems are designed to minimise energy ccnsumption and a borehole provides bottled water - all of which make for a very comfortable stay as well as a carbon-negative contribution to the environment.
And then there is the local in-season food offering - which moved up several notches in 2022 when the McGarrity family (Joann and Nigel with their son and daughter, Carl and Emma, formerly of famed The Red Door Tea Room, Ballintoy) brought their collective expertise to the hotel’s management. Nothing stands still at The Salthouse.
