Excellent stay at The Harbourmaster. Our room was lovely, traditionally Welsh in design with lots of homely touches and perfect view over the harbour. The hotel itself has a cosy restaurant and bar offering complimentary coffee/tea and cake for hotel guests. Although we don’t eat here we had a nice drink at the end of the evening. Excellent Welsh breakfast with lots of other choices on offer. Would definitely stay here again
