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!
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
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.
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
Small compact room but with everything you could wish for plus some other nice touches. Accompanying Breakfast in adjacent Restaurant was excellent we will definitely be back as excellent situation.
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.
Super comfortable bed, watching a sunrise on one morning while still in it was wonderful. Room clean throughout. Staff very helpful. Breakfast was amazing. Stayed for dinner one evening which absolutely lived up to expectations. Would book again.
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.
Very friendly staff. Room was well designed and had all the essentials. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner and it was amazing. Breakfast portion was a little small for me but it was delicious.

Mis leading
Pics are very Mis leading no sea view or en suite and rooms are away from actual hotel
Very well presented small room in great location by harbour. Comfy bed. Good shower. Had hanging space with hooks but note there is no wardrobe. Wonderful breakfast in restaurant overlooking harbour. Def would stay again for 1/2 nights
Great location overlooking the harbour Really nice and clean room, a bit small but everything in it, with new furniture. Very friendly staff who offered a hamper breakfast delivered in front of the door the night before since we were leaving at 5am to catch an early Shuttle to France.
