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.

I loved my stay here! Everything about it was perfect - my room was cosy and warm with all the facilities I needed (including a coffee machine!) and a sea view, the food was amazing (I ate here in the evening as well as for breakfast) and staff were friendly and helpful. If the price is right (I got a discounted rate this time due to having some one key credit), I will definitely stay again :)

An absolute brilliant hotel. Great location. Our room had a wonderful view of the harbour. It was very spacious well furnished and very well equipped. Scrupulously clean. Appreciated the full size bath and the comfortable bed. Couldn't fault it. The restaurant was very good for both dinner and breakfast. Staff extremely friendly. Great stay.

lovely end to a week!

We visited the harboumaster on a day trip back in March this year. We liked the service we recieved and noted that the resturant had a 1 star Michellin star rating so dicided to book a night this May As before the service was excellent, from check in to check out. Our room was clean, large and airy with dressing gowns and slippers on offer and had a big bath/shower room; the wife loved the bathroom lotions on offered. The only downside to our stay was that we were both a little underwhelmed with our evening meals. Food is very subjective and we undertand "one man's poison is another man's meat" it's just that we were expeting a better dining expierience. This being said we were more that happy with a nice mid afternoon complimentary coffee and cake and the breakfast was excellent. All in all we had a very good stay and enjoyed ourselves.
