We stayed two nights at The Salterns Hotel over Christmas. Service was good, we only took Breakfast as we were visiting relatives. Room was clean and adequate. Our reason for using this Hotel is that they welcome Dogs which means we can enjoy lots of good walks on the Beach with our Border Terrier. We are regular customers.

Booked into the hotel for there New Years Party and had a fantastic time. Food was top class and service was very good. Stayed in a standard room for the night, which was bright, spacious and clean. Breakfast the next morning was superb as well, with a large selection of continental or cooked options. Will be using this again to see in 2013

I attended a dinner at this hotel on 14 December and ordered the vegetarian option as last year when I attended the same event the food was awful and the menu this year was the same. The starter was salmon which was fine as previously. I had a spinach cannelloni which was OK, nothing exceptional, the sauce was a bit watery but tasted reasonable. On the same plate there was a huge goats cheese and olive salad which was fine but I couldn't eat it all. The meat main course was brisket and last year I simply could not eat it because it was so tough - I suspect it had not been cooked enough. To be fair this year it did seem better and everyone said it was a huge improvement on the previous year. There were plenty of vegetables available and several roast potatoes on each plate with the meat. Pudding was pecan pie and that was very good. It is a lovely venue although the hotel looks a bit tired inside and probably could do with refurbishing. Overall the staff did a good job, nothing exceptional that stood out. I can't comment on the rooms as I didn't stay over. Car parking can be a bit limited because the hotel is part of a marina complex.

I think some you win and some you lose on this, I was part of a 7 man sales team here and enjoyed good service and nice clean warm room and a very nice evening meal, so all in all my stay was very enjoyable
