One night visit to Harbourmaster

A lovely hotel, very well thought out styling with everything you might want in our room. Staff are friendly and welcoming, the food was also very good. Its location on the side of the river is very picturesque, the car park is small but there is public parking nearby.

Mid week treat

From the minute we arrived the service was fantastic. We had a delicious afternoon tea and then checked in for the night. Staff attentive could not have done more for us. Lovely that a lot of the staff were bilingual. Our room was large, comfortable and spotless. Harbour view. The breakfast was super tasty, plenty of choice with excellent service. Check out was speedy, friendly and efficient. Never disappoints we will be back. Highly recommend for a special treat.
Delicious afternoon tea.

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.
