We received excellent and personal service from everybody at the "The Smugglers". Definitely one of the best breaks we ever had. The room was exceptional, very clean, quiet and extra spacious. The breakfast was very tasty and freshly prepared every morning exactly to our liking! We would definitely stay here again.

Like staying in a seaside postcard

This is an adorable, cozy, beautiful, clean guest house. Our room was so inviting and tidy with the best view! The hosts were friendly and helpful and provided an excellent breakfast each day. We will stay there again. The only issue is that parking can be a bit challenging. This is to be expected, though, in Cornwall in summer.

We only stayed one night and were up early to catch onward transport. Clean and all you need for a quick stay. Although the room we had only has French doors to the room and is over looked by other properties, if worried about privacy you would need to keep the curtains closed, could do with some sort of net curtains to cover door while still letting in natural light. But a overall welcoming and comfortable.
