Smugglers Rest Reviews

Christine
We had a great time at your cottage, handy place to go around to lots of places. Thank you
We had a lovely stay, arrived to a nice welcome pack. The property was spotless, if anything the pictures don't do it justice. Hot tub and pool room were brilliant. The garden was extremely dog friendly as one of our dogs loves to try to escape. We would definitely recommend and hope to return again in the future. Thanks
Another fantastic stay at Smugglers Rest! The cottage has everything you could want and more a real home from home!! We will no doubt return in the future thank you!
Malcolm
The file photos of Smugglers rest dont do it justice ! , upon arrival we all said wow , upon entering , the rooms and cleanliness were spot on , then we saw the views from the upstairs and decking AMAZING. Beds so comfy great nights sleep, hot tub and pool table a very big hit with the kids and adults. Overall an awesome place to holiday.
Cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs of 3 couples lots of outdoor entertaining space with amazing panaramic views, great indoor space for chilling out and good bedroom sizes to accommodate us all. Cottage was clean and tidy and had all the essentials we needed. Pool room, seating area on decking and hot tub were real assets and sets it apart from lots of other properties we'd been to before. Previous reviews about lack of maintenance were unfounded as we found it to be immaculate and wonderfully looked after so no concerns from us there. All in all, an amazing cottage with stunning views. Thank you!
Robert
This is a lovely property in a lovely location, on the whole it,s maintained well ,there are a few things that need to be addressed , firstly the decking above games room needs attention, the power points in all bedrooms were unusable as furniture covered them, not enough towels large and small per person as drying them was a problem as we were here early in year, no tumble drier, other than that we had a really lovely time at smugglers rest.
Such a lovely property. Great location. The views are amazing from all the windows and the brilliant decking. Hot tub fabulous with a very useful changing room with fridge. Spotlessly clean. Very responsive owners.
Perfect setting, lovely house. Super hot tub. Great games room. Plenty outdoor seating. Kitchen has everything you need. Bedrooms all lovely size. Bathrooms very good. A great pub Jolly Sailor a short walk away. This house allowed us to have a fantastic 7 night holiday.
We had a wonderful stay. 2 families, 4 adults, 3 kids ,2 dogs. Something for everyone. The house is beautifully situated with stunning views. All enclosed so dogs could roam safely. Kitchen was well stocked ,everything was spotless . We will definitely return
We had a lovely time for New Year at Smugglers Rest every detail had been thought of and was appreciated . Warm cosy and something for everyone . Will definitely book again !! !
What a beautiful holiday home in a fantastic location. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
A lovely property with lovely space and lay out. We really enjoyed our stay in this unique place. It was expensive but it was worth it. The view was stunning and we were lucky enough to have decent weather too. Only slight problem was the dishwasher which didn't clean very well, but after cleaning out the tray and filter, it worked better. Many thanks Helle Kristensen
Joanna
Loved sitting on the deck with the views of the river. On colder evenings the sitting area was cosy and there was plenty of space for people to do their own thing.
Wow Smugglers Rest was exceptional. My family and I enjoyed every part of the stay and was sad to leave. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully return in the future!
Sandra
Lovely well equipped house in a stunning location. Beautiful views from the decking area , watching all the boats sail past. Hot tub and games room an added bonus. Only negative was garden not enclosed so dogs could wander into the road. Had a fabulous week and would definitely go again.
