Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay that felt more like visiting family than just being a guest. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, and the attention to detail in the dining experience, especially breakfast, was exceptional. The location was perfect, being so close to the bustling harbor. However, the public area could be a bit noisy at times due to its central position.
Our stay at this lovely B&B was exceptional! We felt right at home with Nick, Alex, and their family attending to our needs. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast made by Dad was top-notch. However, the parking situation was a bit tricky due to time restrictions, but overall, it was a great experience worth returning for.
I had a wonderful stay at this charming B&B; the location near the harbour was perfect for exploring. The rooms were not only clean but also very comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day out. The family that runs the place were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The highlight for me was definitely the breakfast, which was delicious and felt uniquely personal. However, I did wish for a few more options at breakfast to cater to different tastes.
I had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Harbour Lights! The room was spotless and comfortable, which made for a pleasant experience. Although the location is perfect, the noise levels at night were quite high, and the place could use some updating. Despite these minor drawbacks, the warmth of the hosts truly made this trip memorable.
