Saltmoore is where refined coastal living meets wild Yorkshire beauty. Set between the dramatic North York Moors and the golden sands of Sandsend, this luxurious hotel and retreat unfolds across 85 acres of woodland, gardens and a tranquil lake. It’s a place that feels both expansive and deeply grounding – where slow mornings, sea air and thoughtful design come together in harmony.
You’ve got two places to stay: Saltmoore House, a grand yet welcoming home with 43 elegant rooms and suites, and the relaxed, beachside vibe of The Beach House, where 29 light-filled rooms are dressed in calming tones – many with private terraces or outdoor baths. Everywhere, the aesthetic is soft and natural, with tactile fabrics, considered details and a real sense of ease.
Food here is a highlight. Expect seasonal dishes by Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks at the laid-back Brasserie, while the Wellness Café serves nourishing plates that feel as good as they taste. At the heart of it all is The Sanctuary – a spa where you can swim, steam, sauna, and try everything from cryotherapy to Wildsmith Skin treatments. Whether you’re craving a restorative escape or an adventure on the coast, Saltmoore has you covered.

walks among the heather or along Sandsend Beach.
