“The establishment struck me as exceptionally well-run, fostering a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Its location, nestled between the promenade and old town, is ideal, while thoughtful touches, like the provision of fans in rooms, enhance the stay. What stands out most, however, is the attentive staff and the overall value, especially considering the sea view rooms with balconies.”

Review summary

Powered by AI
Harrow Lodge Hotel enjoys a fantastic location, often described as right next to the sea, offering easy access to the beach and coastal walks. Many guests appreciate the option of sea view rooms with large balconies to enjoy the views. Breakfast receives consistent praise for its great choice and good portions, and dining in the evening is reasonably priced; however, some guests have found the sea view rooms to have partial views or noted noise from nearby establishments. guests find it a good value for money.

The staff was very helpful. I found them to be great. Nothing seemed too much trouble. The location is great too and it is easy to find. Breakfast had many superb choices. I enjoyed everything.
The shower had poor water pressure, difficult to have a comfortable shower. I would have liked better water pressure. It made rinsing difficult.
