Harbour Heights Hotel

“Makes you smile at times”

A real family run hotel. All the staff really lovely. Views are amazing

“Lovely midweek break”

Very good location, with good very clean sized rooms. Very quiet location with friendly and helpful staff.

“Tasty Food!”

We went for a meal with friends on Saturday evening and had a lovely meal which surpassed our expectations. The staff were charming and courteous. Only criticism is the lighting and the tables in the dinning room were quite basic and gave a canteen vibe.

“Great location but dated hotel”

We stayed at this hotel my husband and I over the long Easter weekend just gone as Easter Sunday was my birthday I will start with the positive about this hotel: 1)The location cannot be beaten high up overlooking the bay down below it commands beautiful views over the bay below 2)The food in the restaurant was top notch and reasonable for the quality at both breakfast and dinner 3)Though the room was really dated it was clean and the digital shower in the bathroom was really easy to use and very good too 5)Though we didn’t need to use them the hotel has 3 charging bays reserved for electric vehicles for convenience 6)The hotel stay with breakfast is quite reasonable in our opinion for the location of the hotel The not so good : 1)It’s not a 4 star hotel in our opinion due to the dated decor and lack of amenities like a pool or gym perhaps 2)The decor in the rooms and reception area is dated and rather bland (a shower curtain in the bath !Its a no no as far as I’m concerned) the hotel could really do with being spruced up both outside and inside 3)Though we had a small balcony with nice side sea views, the balcony “floor” was so dirty you couldn’t step outside on it as you would bring back all the dirt and mud straight on the bedroom carpet which already had find dirt stains there from that I’m guessing… 4)The restaurant has amazing sea views and a lovely terrace but the harsh spot lighting at night spoils the enjoyment of the views as when the daylight goes down all you can see is the reflection of the restaurant in the windows not the view outside !Shame really as I said the food is top notch but the atmosphere is spoilt by the lack of dimned softer lighting!For that reason we only ate dinner there once on our 3 night stay! 5)The male supervisor at breakfast time was rather miserable and curt imo…the other waitress and waiters were all very pleasant though 6)It’s the little personal things that makes great service really and a hotel stand out from the rest …Although I had mentioned Easter Sunday was actually my birthday and the reason for our 3 night stay when booking ,this was never acknowledged by anyone at the hotel during our stay which is a bit disappointing 7)Finally we have an electric car and the hotel has 3 chargers at the back of the hotel which is great.. We didn’t need to charge during our stay but on one occasion the main car park was full and we didn’t know there was a 2nd car park so we parked on one of the 3 charging bays Out of courtesy I told the friendly polite young man at the reception that that was the case and was going to leave my number if someone needed the space to charge.He said ideally I shouldn’t park there which I totally agree and told me about the 2nd car park we had not seen so asked us if we could move our car now …I mentioned that there was a rather battered looking old car parked on one of the EV space that shouldn’t be there and could only refer to it as an “old banger” as sorry to say but the condition of the car was really bad!He then told us that was his own car!!!Oops that was awkward !So I challenged ,in a polite and joking way, the fact he was asking us to move our electric car which we were happy to do anyway whilst he deemed it ok to park his own car there which isn’t even electric in the first place ?The cheek of it lol! So I asked him if he was going to move his car too then and clearly by then he was (understandably)offended I had called his car an “old banger”and that I had challenged him about parking there …in my defence I have driven plenty of older cars in my youth nothing wrong with that but his really was in a poor and dirty condition…had I known the car belonged to him I would have never made that comment but this young man is so well presented overall ,would have never guessed it could be his vehicle to be fair! We moved our car straight away but this episode just didn’t sit right with us. Overall we enjoyed our stay as the area is lovely and we had a really nice time but the above points I mentioned could in my opinion have made our stay much better This hotel is good enough but could be so much better though…
