Top Rinboy Hotel Reviews

The Harbour Inn

The Harbour Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room is 'motel' style with the front door opening into the car park. The room and beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom style was definitely 'at your granny's' but spacious and functioned well. One slight issue; the bed is high and it scooted over on the floor when I tried to sit down with my short legs! Across the car park is the Harbour Inn itself. It was full and buzzing even on a Monday night with a range of groups from a couple of birthday tables for a teen and a kid, to couples and friends. All tables were theref or food and the range on offer is enormous. We had asian sea bass and chicken strips which were both cooked to an extremely high standard - like top end restaurant standard, certainly not pub grub. The room is good but the Inn and its fare lifted the stay to something special. Needless to say the same kitchen provided ample breakfast next morning which was great too. It felt fresh and plentiful, which again added to the feeling like you were staying somewhere you were welcome rather than the minimum spend on food some places try and get away with. I definitely recommend."

"From Charmaine welcoming us at reception, & giving me a free birthday upgrade to Dessie serving us at the bar, they are only a few of the reasons it's our favourite hotel. The food is amazing as always, the atmosphere relaxed no matter how busy they are. Breakfast was delicious & altho very busy, the girls were so courteous & chatty.
