“Lovely”
The location is beautiful right on the waterfront. We stayed in the self contained cottage with 3 bedrooms. 2 doubles and 1 small single. Food in the restaurant was lovely and they catered well for someone with allergies.

“Ok apart from breakfast”
The breakfast was absolutely dreadful. Overcooked (apart from the egg and tomato) could have been standing around for a very long time. Very greasy. Almost impossible to cut the bacon. Hash brown like nothing I’ve seen before but not in a good way. Very large chunks of fat in the black pudding.

“A lovely and well furnished apartment - don’t be put off by the scruffy outside!”
I stayed at the self catering apartment. Once inside the apartment, it was lovely, although the poor sound insulation meant I could hear the family below talking. The outside and common areas are quite scruffy and not what I would have expected from the Harbourmaster.

“Comfortable boutique hotel with an excellent restaurant and outstanding included breakfast.”
This is a lovely little hotel. I stayed for just one night on a work trip and it was very comfortable. The restaurant is also great and the breakfast you get included with your stay is fantastic! You get a proper choice of large breakfast dishes, no cold buffet, and its really great value that its included with your stay.
