Would stay longer , just too expensive
Pros:

Very attractive and comfortable, I always feel staying locally is always expensive, this is not a complaint re “Harbour “ just strange that’s it’s just that staying at home is more expensive than going abroad

Cons:

Nothing .

We really enjoyed our short stay at the Harbour Inn a real find compared to some of the larger toget
Pros:

Get sized room which was very clean and tidy and had proper tea and coffee making facilities.

The breakfast was excellent and it was very nice to be able to order and get it served to our table instead of a buffet style breakfast.

The food in the restaurant was also very good.

The staff were all very hepful.

Cons:

Upgrade the glass in the front facing Windows to reduce the amount of noise coming from the passing traffic.

Insulate the toilet door as it rattles when the wind blows from the draft coming from the toilet skylight window. (Room 232)
