Great!
Pros:

Great location with a view.
Lovely to sit outside and enjoy the sea views… but watch out for seagulls if eating chips etc.!
Good space with sofa and telly.
Easy to walk into town (Just a climb up the slope then flattish). All good thank you.

Cons:

Could only afford one night!

Schöne Location mit toller Aussicht.
Pros:

Die tolle Aussicht auf den Hafen.

Cons:

Die Federkern-Matratzen ohne Auflage waren unbequem. Beim Check-out war niemand vor Ort anzutreffen. Auch nicht nach mehrmaligen Klingeln. Wir legten den Schlüssel einfach hin. Das ergab einen eher unpersönlichen Eindruck.

This hotel was the biggest surprise and delight of our trip in England! The view from the balcony can't be beat!
Pros:

This little hotel is the sweetest place we stayed on our 10 days in England. The view of the harbour is epic! The bed was comfortable. The location was stunning. The restaurant downstairs was delicious. Best food of our trip.

Aaron and Susan own and operate this sweet little hotel and fine dining restaurant. I can't say enough good things about them. They are delightful hosts and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We only stayed one night, but next time I'll make this my base for exploring Cornwall.

I highly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

We loved everything about this place. The parking can be a little tricky due to the location, but we found a good spot.

Wir hatten eine gute Zeit. Der Ort Newquay hat uns nicht unbedingt gefallen. Die Wanderung, ein Rundweg, war zu viel Tee
Pros:

Die Lage ist schön. Die Einrichtung ist schön. Super freundlicher Gastgeber, familiär.

Cons:

Es wird kein Frühstück serviert. Hat aber nahe ein Restaurant mit sehr leckeren overnight Oats.
Das Bett ist sehr klein für 2 Personen.

A great stay at the Harbour Hotel or " A room with a view!!!"
Pros:

A great experience at the Harbour Hotel!
Accommodation is rather basic, the rooms are clean and the view is amazing! The highlight of the stay is the meal at the restaurant and the interaction with the owners!
Fantastic seafood, fresh fish, cooked to perfection and a service going above and beyond!
Thank you!
I will return and would highly recommend it!!!

What a view and what a location!
Pros:

Well, the location is absolutely fantastic — right above the harbour, and you basically fall asleep to the gentle sound of the waves coming through the window.

The knives and forks in the kitchen had been left dirty by previous guests and this had been missed — these things happen — and there were a few other small details that could have been improved. But there really is very little to complain about when you have a view and location like this.

I am sure the owners keep a careful eye on the upkeep of the property and do their best to give guests a better experience, but occasionally things slip through the cracks. I was also given a room upgrade, and overall I was very happy with my stay.
