Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Harbour Heights Guest House is frequently praised for its excellent location, offering convenient access to the harbour, restaurants, and nearby bus stops. Guests appreciate the well-maintained and spotlessly clean rooms, with some noting lovely views over the gardens from bay windows. The availability of on-site parking and Wi-Fi is a definite plus, along with the added convenience of a communal fridge. While a few guests have found some rooms to be on the smaller side or describe the decor as slightly old-fashioned, many rave about the delicious full English breakfast served each morning.

The room i booked seemed a bit dated, to be honest. the furniture was old, and the tv remote didn't work properly. the breakfast, although included, was pretty basic. I hoped for more variety.
