Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Harbour Inn enjoys a fantastic location in the town centre, steps away from local amenities and a short stroll from Shore Street and the harbour, with some guests enjoying stunning sunsets. Many rooms feature fresh decor from recent refurbishment, comfortable beds, and modern touches, with some even including a fridge stocked with beers; plus, free WiFi is generally available. While some guests have found the rooms smaller than expected or have experienced issues with the TV, the hotel is also dog-friendly, even in the bar, with a welcoming space for pet owners.

poor wifi broken light
The staff were helpful. The snug room had a mini bar and a sofa bed, set up as a couch. That's all I needed for a couple of nights away.
The room was too hot. Only one window opens, and the bathroom window had no blind, so heat flooded in. The main light did not work and the WiFi was poor. The water went freezing cold halfway through my shower!
