The staff were really friendly and all Welsh speaking. Because of a major construction project affecting all the harbour area, there wss inevitable disruption but totally outside Harbourmasters' control.

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.

Superb hotel in a great position

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.

We loved the view, all the special touches, and the artwork.....food too! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The weather was fierce, so we didn't explore the area much... But loved the shop nearby with so many tempting items and artwork.

Stunning

I have eaten in the Harbourmaster many times but never stayed. I arrived after a long drive and they made sure I could eat, the food was to die for, the room was one of the best equiped I have ever stayed in with lovely views of the harbour. This morning in a rush to leave the staff would not let me leave until I had grabbed a coffee and a breakfast bap to go. Fantastic friendly staff and a stunning location, cannot say more than that
