Harbour House is a beautiful and comfortable inn. We enjoyed our stay there very much and would stay again. The decor is inviting. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. The breakfast food was delicious, although I would have appreciated a little more variety for vegetarians and vegans. The wine and cheese in the afternoon was very enjoyable. There was coffee available in the lobby and in the guest bedrooms, but we would have also appreciated the availability of tea.
