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.

Friendly and helpful staff, cosy and comfortable room with good facilities and excellent location. Enjoyed my time at the Harbour Inn.
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.
Great room, lots of good amenities, lovely evening meal & cooked breakfast, really great staff. Wonderful location right on the harbour side. Will definitely stay again.
Fabulous hotel and pub. Beautifully renovated/upgraded, and a lovely position on the harbour. Lively atmosphere.
Staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Food was excellent - we had breakfast and dinner.
A lovely inn with really nice rooms. The location is perfect right by the harbour. The food was excellent and staff were really friendly. My wife who is coliaec could get a lot of gluten free options. The breakfast was also very good. A great place to stay in a lovely area
We so enjoyed our short stay. The room was just amazing and spotless. Staff were very helpful and a great atmosphere in the bar. Most definitely returning before Christmas.
Excellent hotel, very well decorated with lovely bedding. Staff very helpful. Busy hotel. We had a room overlooking the harbour which was very nice. Breakfast was very good. Well situated.
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.
