All was just delightful. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient, location was close to perfect, room was very clean and tidy, small, indie shops close by. All made for really lovely weekend. The only small criticism we had was the sound quality on the TV. Thank you Rocksalt. We would definitely return.

Lovely little guest house. We stayed in the Kitten room. There was a fold out bed as well as the double and single, so we managed to squeeze four in. Ideal for a short stay and the restaurant staff were super helpful and friendly in helping us get settled. Breakfast was also amazing with a great view.

Lovely restaurant and a great room. We were initially surprised to find that the rooms are in a separate building to the restaurant but this didn't dampen the experience. It's a very short walk and still on the harbour - in fact it was probably better for us as coming and going was so quick and easy. The décor in the rooms is excellent and the service was lovely. We were leaving early, before the breakfast service, so we were offered a lovely little breakfast hamper which was delivered to our room.

Great for an overnight stay

Really nice surprise how great the room was. Couldn't ask for more for an overnight stay. You couldn't stay for more than a couple of nights at a time though no storage and bathroom was really packed in.

The room was in a great location,close to attractions and many restaurants. Breakfast was lovely. But the lighting was poor in the room. No ceiling light. Nowhere to store clothes. Nowhere to put bathroom products, or a shelf for a toothbrush etc. No toilet roll holder. Could have done with a sheet on the beds to sleep under on hot days. Fridge didnt feel cold.

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

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.
