Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Harbourview Hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms, some being spacious and recently refurbished, and all equipped with TVs. Many guests enjoyed the convenient location for walking, fishing, and exploring the area. The on-site bar is often described as lovely and cozy, and the food, especially the salmon dinner and freshly cooked breakfast, receives high praise; although a few found the breakfast menu somewhat limited. accessing the hotel involves a scenic drive along the sea.

the menu, which covered both lunch and the evening meal, was not quite up to standard.

The breakfast included fresh and perfectly cooked food.

When I checked in, I received a very curt greeting and a demand to pay for the room immediately. The noise from downstairs was loud. Live music played past 1 AM, and the soundproofing was poor. The shower barely produced lukewarm water, and the towels were tiny.
