Accusation within 3 buildings. Secure and quiet but close to shops and restaurants. Some nice walks without needing the car. Rooms comfortable. Excellent breakfast service. Spa facilities: pool, sauna, steam room, indoor and outdoor hot tub Treatments were all booked up so unable to comment. But it’s Clarins so will be good.

Love this hotel, staff are so friendly and accommodating and the spa is amazing. The only one small thing I would change is the room decor like wallpaper, curtains, etc. I think the hotel would feel ever so slightly fresher with an upgrade in that area!

Nice two night stay
Nice 2 night stay. We ate in the restaurant on one evening which was average, I had the steak and ale pie which I really enjoyed however my wife had the vegetable tandoori curry which was very bland and not really a curry. The room was very warm and very clean.

Lovely hotel, very professional and friendly staff. Our room was airy and comfortable with a lovely balcony overlooking the beck, the sound of the waterfall was very relaxing. The breakfast has plenty of choice and was beautifully cooked and presented. We have stayed at the Salutation a number of times and it never disappoints; we had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay and look forward to returning.
