This was the cutest little Inn! We stayed there for a wedding at the Beauport Hotel which was only a 10 min walk. John was awesome and so nice the second we walked in the door. We will be coming back soon to stay at the Harborview Inn!

Pros Historic home - well maintained Friendly & helpful staff and owner (and sweet puppy to boot) Wonderful location and beautiful ocean views. Very luxurious bedding - so comfortable Off-street parking In-room goodie basket Good water pressure in the shower Cons The air conditioner - while a very welcome relief on a hot day - was noisy. I acknowledge that this is a first-world problem. Overall, a fantastic experience - we would definitely stay again.

The Innkeeper is very nice! However, the property is very old and tired. Also, there is really no onsite service. After check-in you won't see a soul until breakfast. We had to leave for a flight before the breakfast service started and the room was locked and there wasn't even an offer to set out a muffin or anything for our departure. As a point of clarification, stayed at 5 other inns this year and all had some 24 hour accommodations for coffee or early departure breakfast items. All in all, it pains me to not be more positive, but it is what it is.

The location was perfect. Easy walk to main street and the harbor walk was just across the street. Easy drive to the Hammond Castle. Bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small, but fine. The continental breakfast was very nice. John the owner was very attentive and kind. Thanks for the lovely stay.
