My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at The Harbourmaster. The staff were super friendly and had time for all the guests. Accommodation was clean and spacious, basically as per the pictures on their website, so we were very happy. Our room had a view over the harbour which we enjoyed. The food and service in the restaurant was top notch. We dined there both nights we stayed and it was delicious.

Lovely hotel in brilliant position. Very friendly staff, beautiful comfy room with huge freestanding bath and shower. Easy free parking nearby. Vegan options for breakfast and evening meal and good choice of drinks. Mix of shops and coffee shops very close and beautiful setting looking out to the water. Very much enjoyed our stay. We drove to nearby national trust property and to other coastal areas for walks.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Thoroughly enjoyed stay with the staff totally committed to you. One issue that people with mobility issues should be aware of is that they have rooms up 2/3flights of stairs in a spiral configuration (although carpeted), and they should ensure when booking that they are not allocated these 3/4 rooms. (once up there the view the harbour is superb!!) Rooms clean and checked if you require every day, and the food excellent. The free coffee and cake to guests every afternoon was an added bonus. Would recommend it.

Excellent stay at The Harbourmaster. Our room was lovely, traditionally Welsh in design with lots of homely touches and perfect view over the harbour. The hotel itself has a cosy restaurant and bar offering complimentary coffee/tea and cake for hotel guests. Although we don’t eat here we had a nice drink at the end of the evening. Excellent Welsh breakfast with lots of other choices on offer. Would definitely stay here again
