Met our expectations, the staff exceeded our expectations.... thanks
Cons:

Maybe a more comfortable area to sit in after eating, it seemed to be just set up for eating.

Enttäuscht
Pros:

Beefburger sind sehr lecker

Cons:

Das Zimmerfenster lag direkt neben dem Dunstabzug der Küche. Geruchsbelästigung und vor allem Lärm! Erst um 23.30 Uhr wurde dieser abgestellt. Zimmerpreis ist dafür viel zu hoch!!
Das englische Frühstück war geschmacklich leider nicht gut, restliche Frühstücksauswahl gut.
Servicegebühr für Restaurantbesuch wurde ohne Hinweis verrechnet 😕

I don't recommend to book this place via booking.com
Pros:

Location

Cons:

When we showed up, the front desk lady said they haven't had my booking in the system, every single room was booked, and the cannot offer me and my friend any room. When we firmly demanded to sort this out, showing booking.com reservation number, we somehow got double bed room for us.

Smuggerlers inn
Pros:

Lovely old pub

Cons:

There is no private parking as stated in booking.com information., just a small public car park (approx 25 cars) for the pub and people visiting the beach. I stayed 3 nights in june and parked ok, not sure what it would be like in july and august.

Für 1 Nacht suf unserer Cornwall Tour war es ok.
Pros:

Schöne Anlage

Cons:

Bei offenem Fenster konnten wir wegen des Lärmes der Lüftungsanlage davor nicht schlafen. Und bei geschlossenem Fenster war es heiss.

Enjoyed the stay in this beautiful location with lovely atmosphere
Pros:

The location was absolutely stunning. The view from the Smugglers Inn are amazing. The accommodation was very good and is a really relaxing place to stay.

Cons:

A little bit more thought on breakfast menu would be good idea as on two occasions the staff had to apologise for not having items on menu. Perhaps a smaller menu would be better.

Pros:

What an amazing place. The location was great, right next to the coast. The room was exceptional, decorated with so much taste and so cosy. As we came on a rainy day, we decided to stay quite a bit indoor which allowed us to discover the inn itself. Super cosy interior, good food, great service. We will come again
