"Our second stay and we loved it all, apart from all the trippers who always spoil everwhere, but we hope to be back again next year. Such sweet girls and wonderfully helpful young men, nothing too hard to do. They even recognised us from the last time and so willing to do anything to help 2 old ladies! A lovely relaxed place even in the awful heatwave. Thank you ALL of you. Its a wonderful place and so are all of you."

The Smugglers Inn

The Smugglers Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Nice pub accommodation close to the sea. The rooms are above the pub, so expect noise until after closing time. It's a large pub for tourists, so it can get busy, yet despite the young front of house team, this place runs like clockwork - I was very impressed with how well organised they were. The full English breakfast was excellent. We parked in the pub's car park at 18:30, taking one of the last spaces, but left and came back around 9pm and parked without any issue. The rooms are comfortable - great bathroom with good toiletries, comfy bed, fan provided for those balmy Dorset summer evenings. Curiously, the bedroom door cannot be locked from the inside - this needs to be changed. All round, very happy with this stay and would recommend."

8/10 Good
"Small room, very basic. Shower ok, but door was broken, kept coming off rails. Toilet door wouldn't shut, and lock broken. Breakfast was ok, but could take quite a while, to come out, some days. Only bread option was sourdough, with a tough hard crust, a bit nerve-racking for people with false teeth / plates. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice bar, with plenty of choices. Ample parking."
