Located on the Harbour at Aberaeron, we stumbled across the Harbourmaster and popped in for lunch. Lovely seated area inside and optional tables outside if you wanted to brave the cold. We opted for a smoked salmon chowder, bread with marmite butter, crispy squid with chilli jam and a children's sausage/mash/gravy. Food was incredible, beautiful flavours and freshness. It was a really lovely place to find. Will definitely visit again when back in the area!

Upon arrival, there was no welcome.The Charcuterie we ordered was very good and we really enjoyed it. If I had to recommend anything it would be a sweet chutney in addition to all the lovely savoury food.

Brilliant on every level - Lets start with the food! Katsu Monkfish, Welsh rarebit, Cardigan bay crab linguini, duck and a crispy potato side followed by a sharing cheese and cracker platter. I've not got the dish titles exactly right, but all of them outstanding. I don't know how they did it, but for less than £60 per head for me and my wife, we got a 3 course meal with a bottle of Rose and a pint of Madri. Outstanding quality, the flavours, textures, seasoning, a perfect level of heat. It's among the best food we've ever had. I've never had Michelin food, but I imagine it's something like we experienced at the Harbourmaster. I didn't note the name of the rose wine, but it was just perfect, lightly floral delicate flavour and perfectly chilled. So many restaurant don't get the temperature right these days. These guys know how to serve wine properly. The atmosphere lives up to the food, every staff member friendly, informative and helpful. We made the mistake of not pre-booking a taxi for a return back to our campsite, and after I had exhausted 8 taxi companies, they managed to pull an unlisted firm out of the bag for us. The other customers were clearly happy, the whole place had a buzz about it, you rarely see. Highly recommended. For us this not just Aberaeron's finest, but probably Wales' finest.

Not a fan when we visited some years ago but have been twice this year. This week we had a lovely waitress who enthused about her work and the area. Lovely lady. We enjoyed a great meal, choosing lamb, beef, vegetarian and seafood dishes. Empty plates all around. Tasty deserts too. Great location overlooking Aberaeron harbour.

This place was stunning, and we called in on the off chance. Everything about it was amazing. Can't vouch for the rooms as we didn't stay in one. We loved it that much we have booked to go back Saturday. The food was exceptional. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, and the location wow just fabulous....

Lovely hotel, staff were brilliant. Location on the harbour in Aberaeron superb. Had a meal in the restaurant last Monday (2nd October) food was so tasty. We enjoyed our three day stay and would highly recommend.

One of the best lunches I ever had. Both my wife and I agreed and booked to go again.Recommend this place to everyone but would advise you to book.Nearby activities: Coastal resort and harbour without the funfair plenty of shops and eateries.Walkability: Loads of parking so easy walking. Unfortunately local authorities are trying to dissuade you from stopping by charging exorbitant fees.Food & drinks: Plenty of places to eat but I bet not as good as the Harbour Master!Noteworthy details: Public toilets are not free with cold water and no hand driers working. Be sure to use facilities where you have your coffee or meal.
