Harbor House Hotel

Welcome to Harbor House

Welcome — we're glad you're here. This is everything guests come down to the desk to ask, so you don't have to. Wi-Fi, breakfast, parking and check-out are at the top. Below that are the places we actually send people, which is not the same list as the map in your room. If something isn't here, dial 0. Someone's on the desk until eleven, and after that the night porter will find us. — Nadia

The roof terrace

Open to guests, no booking. It's the best thing about this hotel and almost nobody finds it.

Hours8.00 until 22.00
AccessLift to 4, then the stair on your left
DrinksFrom the bar until 21.30
In the rainCovered at the north end

Sunset is over the water from the north end, not the side everyone sits on.

Bikes

Six of them, free, first come. They're heavy and they're perfect for the towpath.

Where we actually send people

Not the tourist map in your room. These are ours, and all within a walk.
