This hotel is lovely, the staff were pleasant, the room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated with everything you could possible need. The only reason we gave a 4 star as apposed to a 5 is the noise that you can hear from the hallway and possibly other rooms. The doors have a small space under them that allows you to hear everything. This would not stop us from staying at this lovely hotel again, but it might bother families. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Harbour House is a beautiful and comfortable inn. We enjoyed our stay there very much and would stay again. The decor is inviting. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. The breakfast food was delicious, although I would have appreciated a little more variety for vegetarians and vegans. The wine and cheese in the afternoon was very enjoyable. There was coffee available in the lobby and in the guest bedrooms, but we would have also appreciated the availability of tea.

Disappointed that while our room was ready when we arrived, receptionist wouldn’t give it to us 1 hour prior to check in time ( suggested 50$ fee to get it ) At 600$ a night, not much in form of facilities … this will be the last time staying here ( much better options in the area )

We enjoyed our previous stay at the hotel, which is why we chose to return. Overall, this visit was pleasant, but the bed in our room was very squeaky, making it difficult to sleep without disturbance. Additionally, the room wasn’t as clean as it was during our last stay. Aside from that, everything else was great.

We chose Harbour House for its unique location and pretty house, and we were not disappointed, the house was well kept and maintained, staff were polite and very helpful. They offered free welcome afternoon wine & cheese section and breakfast, we all enjoyed. The location was few blocks away from the Main Street (Queen Street), so it was quiet and less crowded. The room was spacious and well equipped with jetted tub and large shower room, everything was just right and perfect!

Very nice facility in a beautiful town. The breakfast was a real strength. The room was very comfortable and quiet. While the hotel had a number of guests staying while we were there, never did we hear any sounds coming from adjoining rooms. Recommended!
