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.

Only stayed for one night but next time will stay longer. Room was great with balcony which had sea views and a pleasant breeze. The car park is only big enough for a few cars with a cliff charging stations but there is plenty of free parking around the hotel. Fantastic location on edge of harbour and close to everything.
