stayed there last year and dreadful. Thankfully Wowcher issued a full refund after no response from establishment. cold, no heating and pub closed for evening. no night porter, no phone signal. why would we want to stay at a pub that was closed. what an experience.

...and not everywhere is...particularly useful so close to the beach. Food has improved under the new management. Sunday carvery good value but it is worth booking a table. No local ales on draught but that is a minor point.

Totally disorganised. Messed up our booking - fortunately we phoned the day before, if not we would have had accomodation for only one night. They did sort it out. On arrival we were not offered the free wine as per the wowcher offer, but told breakfast was included. Room was tidy and clean, venue itself very dated with an unfriendly... More

I guess they are expecting another bad review. Well here it is. We arrived at 13:00 hours on Friday as arranged after a car journey of 310 miles. The welcome was subdued as they were getting ready for a "Halloween Party" 7 hours later. Every other place we have stayed at we have been greeted with a smile and a... More

Breakfast was very good, we were the only couple staying for the 2 nights and were spoiled for choice with what was... More

We have visited the Smugglers Inn quite a few times since being taken over by new management and find the staff to be warm and friendly. The food on offer is good value pub grub and plenty of it! I wish the new management all the best in these tough times for small businesses.

We stayed for 2 nights and wished it was longer. The staff are really friendly and helpful, rooms very clean and the food is excellent pub grub and a lot cheaper than the cafe over the road.It's right next to a lovely beach and easy driving distance to Looe and Plymouth. Don't expect a 5 star hotel but for an... More
