Lovely hotel in brilliant position. Very friendly staff, beautiful comfy room with huge freestanding bath and shower. Easy free parking nearby. Vegan options for breakfast and evening meal and good choice of drinks. Mix of shops and coffee shops very close and beautiful setting looking out to the water. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Excellent stay at The Harbourmaster. Our room was lovely, traditionally Welsh in design with lots of homely touches and perfect view over the harbour. The hotel itself has a cosy restaurant and bar offering complimentary coffee/tea and cake for hotel guests. Although we don’t eat here we had a nice drink at the end of the evening. Excellent Welsh breakfast with lots of other choices on offer. Would definitely stay here again
