Smugglers Reviews

Gutted to be going home today the perfect few days away, even with the wind and rain on Saturday. Everything we needed and more, from the dog treats and towels, to the welcome treats for the humans. Everything is so well though out and just wonderful little touchesnods to the area. We braved the hot tub and walks across the moor. Perfect location relax and unwind. Thank you!

Had the most amazing stay here at Smugglers this week. The most relaxed I've felt in months. Cabin is stunning, the surroundings are breathtaking! We mainly stayed in and fully relaxed, but did spend a day visiting Padstow, Rock Beach a must for your four legged friend! and also Port Isaac. Thank you to our wonderful hosts, we will definitely be booking again!

We had the most wonderful and intensely relaxing time at Smugglers! Coming for a few days for my birthday it had absolutely everything you wanted and more. We loved cosy evenings by the fire and long soaks in the incredible bathtub. We even braved the hot tub twice despite a fairly brutal storm and lashing rain which was a really experience! We headed to Padstow and Rock but also loved simply stepping out of the front door and walking out across the beautiful Moors. Thank you so much for all the thoughtful touches the doggies very much enjoyed their treats and we already can't wait to come back!

We had such a fantastic, relaxing, post Christmas break at Smugglers. Thank you so much for the festive touches, decorations and edible Christmas treats. Smugglers was set up with everything we needed, we especially appreciated the well kitted out kitchen and the beautiful and huge! bath. We also loved the hot tub, especially to enjoy the stars on a clear night. Some gorgeous walks to Rough Tor and Brown Willy, from Lundy Bay to Port Isaac and Harbour Cove Beach into Padstow. Thank you so much for being wonderful hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back in the future.

As you can see, we spent Christmas here and I think it has been the best Christmas ever! ! Smugglers is just perfect! You want for nothing and everything is here, it really is a home from home. Even the dog settles in straight away. It has been so relaxing and special. We've literally been here everyday but one, just enjoying Smugglers itself. Thank you Steve and Sue for the wonderful Smugglers themed decorated light tree and the other Christmas decorations around, making it really special for our break. Such a surprise driving up and seeing the lit up Christmas tree outside, brilliant! Also a big thank you for the Figgy's Christmas pudding and the food items, just so thoughtful. It's boxing day today our last day sadly but we're going to try out the hot tub!! A boxing day dip with a difference. We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Smugglers.
