We always have a great stay at the Park. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and the staff are super helpful. The water pressure in the bedrooms is excellent and there is always plenty of hot water. Great parking and super convenient yet quiet location. Handy for town and for a quick departure south in the morning. It's not the prettiest building but don't let that put you off. I do miss the omelettes cooked to order in the morning, though.

A fantastic find! An idyllic treat in stunning scenery. It's so quiet!
Andrea, the host, was lovely and introduced me to her property with such pride that I felt right at home.
Bed was incredibly comfortable and the hot tub was a huge treat!

I stayed at the Harbour House B&B for 2 nights the room I was given was really lovely. Keith and his wife were both very friendly and welcoming and made both myself and my small dog very welcome. Lovely hot breakfast, or continental breakfast brought to your room at a time of your choice between 07.30 and 09.00, both excellent. Would recommend this lovely B&B as a wonderful place to stay.
