Booked 2 rooms for the beginning of April. Were travelling by car and got lost on our way to the B&B. The host (Nan) rang a few times to make sure we were ok and eventually she picked us up! She welcomed us in her house with a big hug, and she won me over. It was so late all... More

Nan is a very nice hostess with a lovely home. The view was breathtaking. She has wonderful china and linens and serves a nice breakfast. It was a little difficult to get to. The rooms are very nice. The yard is very attractive also.

What a wonderful time my partner and I spent at Harbour Crest B and B. Nan is a gem and she made us feel so special and welcome. Her home baked fruit cake and coffee on arrival were delightful and her home baked scones for breakfast were mouth watering fantastic. The house was spotless and the views from the bedroom... More

Nan was a great hostess and was a fountain of knowledge about the locality and where we should visit. The breakfast was wonderful. In particular we loved the soda bread and homemade jam.The room was clean and very comfy... More

While we loved our hostess and enjoyed our breakfast alot, we did have some difficulties with our stay. Unfortunately, there was a mix up between the owner and her handyman and the water in our room was turned off all night. We also arrived around 6:30 or 6:45pm, and no one was home. No problem, we went to dinner at... More

Mrs. McCarthy is a great host and her family were just as delightful as she was. The room was clean and comfortable. You would think that the area would be the highlight but Harbour Crest is a highlight all by itself.
