"Has had renovations in the last few months but doors to the rooms will need replacing as they let the rooms down a little. Rooms were quiet and well insulated against noise. The library had some great old books."

Harbour View Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The location is great, being on the main street a very short walk to the shops or trails. Bikes can be rented at the front desk at a cheaper rate for guests. The whole hotel, including the room, was very clean and comfortable, staff were all very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was great and cozy and the staff can even light a bonfire with smores at your request."
