Friendly and helpful staff, easy to get by bus

The staff at the Harbour Inn were very friendly and helpful. Room was spotless and comfortable with a picturesque view of the harbour. We enjoyed a great evening meal at the hotel after a fairly strenuous cliff top walk to Praa Sands. The hotel is convenient for public transport being about 100 metres from the hourly Penzance to Falmouth bus.

A real Gem

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and we have rarely enjoyed a place more. The staff were all lovely and there were lots of them, the bedroom beautifully decorated with a fabulous bathroom and a view of the harbour. We ate there one night both the dinner and the breakfasts had good local food, well cooked and great value for money. We will definitely be back, stunning place!
