We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is in a fantastic location, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Our room was lovely, very well equipped, and had a beautiful view, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection, and all the staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout our visit. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Lovely location, parking at the hotel is limited. We stayed for four nights, Breakfast was a disappointment, on three occasions the eggs were over cooked, fresh fruit was a slice of Mellon, no bread/ roles. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was located a the rear of the hotel looking over a covered area for pub and hotel guests use. with the windows open the noise from this area was disturbing. But overall we enjoyed our stay.

Friendly and helpful staff, easy to get by bus

The staff at the Harbour Inn were very friendly and helpful. Room was spotless and comfortable with a picturesque view of the harbour. We enjoyed a great evening meal at the hotel after a fairly strenuous cliff top walk to Praa Sands. The hotel is convenient for public transport being about 100 metres from the hourly Penzance to Falmouth bus.
