What guests think
Across recent reviews of The Smugglers Inn, guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, the scenic coastal setting, and generally comfortable, well-decorated rooms, while noting cleanliness is mostly solid with only occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses mentioned.
Breakfasts and dinners earn frequent praise for quality and choice, though a few reviews report menu shortages or an unsatisfying meal. Parking can be tight or difficult, and some rooms feel warm or pick up noise from nearby areas. Expect a characterful coastal inn with standout service and enjoyable dining.

Ideal location for walking along coastal paths and going on beach.Ice jugs of tap water replenished on request,comfy beds and rooms very clean.However parking on arrival was a nightmare,no allocated parking spaces for residents,no seating area in pub specifically reserved for residents .Menu for Sunday evening dining restricted as a third of menu they had ran out of food !! and could of gone somewhere else .Waitress for evening meal appeared harassed and was rude therefore no tip was left.

Really friendly, hardworking staff. The location is lovely, room 4 not the greatest view over the kitchen industrial fan which was a little noisy. Excellent breakfast, with nice continental selection, great coffee and delicious cooked breakfast. Only sad end to the break was leaving my hat at the pub which was rather sentimental in value to me and despite returning two hours later there was no sign of it. Fingers crossed it is found and we can have another visit to collect.

Nice, friendly pub/hotel. Good condition in general but with a few small issues that could be improved. No lightbulb in one of the lamps, kettle not descaled, fan in bathroom not working and window right above the outdoor seating so quite noisy because the rooms were very warm and window needed to be kept open. Pub food was fine and breakfast quality okay. Had the room been £120 a night, would have been good value but actually was £200, albeit using Tesco vouchers, so only paid taxes. Had it been cash, I would have felt it was very over-priced! Overall, very pleasant although overpriced.

Very helpful staff- a young cohort with lots of energy. Room was really nicely designed, some thoughtful touches. Bedding was excellent. Unfortunately the shower door came off and fell on me whilst in the shower, but we were offered a bottle of wine by way of an apology (thank you). Pub does need a really good scrub, starting to feel rather 'sticky'. Location is excellent for a walk to Durdle Door or Lulworth the following day. Beach is very rocky and at present you would struggle to access with mobility issues or a buggy due to rockfall meaning the coastal path is the only access. Food was terrible.

The Smugglers Inn was delightful. The staff were all extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Food was excellent, we had dinner there which was really good (advise booking it was full when we were there), and breakfast was great. Delicious choice of different fresh croissants, and fruit and cereal options. Full menu with lots to choose from for cooked breakfast, we had the full english which was scrummy and filling. Room was really nicely decorated, and everything you needed. Big tele! Extensive choice of different tea, coffee and hot chocolate options, and cans of water. Really nice toiletries in the bathroom. Great rainfall shower. Only slight negative was that the room was a quite warm after a hot day, even with the window open. Difficult to know what they could do to help with that in such a lovely old building, have a fan maybe? I couldnt take a star off for it though as it was too nice not to be 5 star! Great spot for a rest after a hard day's walking on the stunning jurassic coast.

What a gem! This place was just perfect. The food was Awesome (I rarely eat desserts but my husband ordered the mouse and it was out of this world) great service, welcoming and very accommodating. Full Breakfast was included and cooked to order and the croissants were baked fresh every morning We enjoyed long daily walks and the scenery is just fabulous. My husband and I will definitely be returning. Louie, Lloyd, Nadia and Hebbie ( not sure I spelled that correctly)were fantastic hosts and a credit to the inn. Love love love this place. 10/10

We have been here many times but this time we decided to stay and I'm glad we did. It was my partner's birthday and I wanted it to be special and they helped with that. They upgraded us to a better room they provided her with a bottle of prosecco and they even took care of our breakfast. Throughout the stay I couldn't have been happier so a big thankyou goes to all the staff.

Food was excellent, we had dinner there which was really good (advise booking it was full when we were there), and breakfast was great. Delicious choice of different fresh croissants, and fruit and cereal options. Full menu with lots to choose from for cooked breakfast, we had the full english which was scrummy and filling. Room was really nicely decorated, and everything you needed. Big tele! Extensive choice of different tea, coffee and hot chocolate options, and cans of water. Really nice toiletries in the bathroom. Great rainfall shower. Only slight negative was that the room was a quite warm after a hot day, even with the window open. Difficult to know what they could do to help with that in such a lovely old building, have a fan maybe? I couldnt take a star off for it though as it was too nice not to be 5 star! Great spot for a rest after a hard day's walking on the stunning jurassic coast.

Very helpful staff- a young cohort with lots of energy. Room was really nicely designed, some thoughtful touches. Bedding was excellent. Unfortunately the shower door came off and fell on me whilst in the shower, but we were offered a bottle of wine by way of an apology (thank you). Pub does need a really good scrub, starting to feel rather 'sticky'. Location is excellent for a walk to Durdle Door or Lulworth the following day. Beach is very rocky and at present you would struggle to access with mobility issues or a buggy due to rockfall meaning the coastal path is the only access. Food was terrible.

Lovely rooms with big open windows. Nice view. Staff were amazing, so helpful and friendly. They even found me real milk instead of the dreaded UHT milk. Shower was and plentiful after a days walking. Smuggles inn is about 1km from bus stop through farmers paddock. Food was awesome especially the breakfast provided

What a gem! This place was just perfect. The food was Awesome (I rarely eat desserts but my husband ordered the mouse and it was out of this world) great service, welcoming and very accommodating. Full Breakfast was included and cooked to order and the croissants were baked fresh every morning We enjoyed long daily walks and the scenery is just fabulous. My husband and I will definitely be returning. Louie, Lloyd, Nadia and Hebbie ( not sure I spelled that correctly)were fantastic hosts and a credit to the inn. Love love love this place. 10/10

Nice, friendly pub/hotel. Good condition in general but with a few small issues that could be improved. No lightbulb in one of the lamps, kettle not descaled, fan in bathroom not working and window right above the outdoor seating so quite noisy because the rooms were very warm and window needed to be kept open. Pub food was fine and breakfast quality okay. Had the room been £120 a night, would have been good value but actually was £200, albeit using Tesco vouchers, so only paid taxes. Had it been cash, I would have felt it was very over-priced! Overall, very pleasant although overpriced.

Ideal location for walking along coastal paths and going on beach.Ice jugs of tap water replenished on request,comfy beds and rooms very clean.However parking on arrival was a nightmare,no allocated parking spaces for residents,no seating area in pub specifically reserved for residents .Menu for Sunday evening dining restricted as a third of menu they had ran out of food !! and could of gone somewhere else .Waitress for evening meal appeared harassed and was rude therefore no tip was left.

A very welcome stop while walking the South West Coast Path. Room wasn't ready until about 16.00 (advised 15.00) but the staff were so friendly and welcoming, getting me a drink and genuinely apologetic for the wait. It happens - probably a full check out from the Saturday night and it was no hardship to sit in the garden in the sun. Loved the room. Very well equipped, in keeping with the location, great hot shower, loads of teas/coffees etc and the bed was amazing. Took advantage of the £12.00 offer on roasts after 17.00. Yes, no doubt not as good as would have been at lunch time but £12?! Breakfast next morning was lovely. Small Continental buffet but perfectly adequate, great coffee and nice hot offerings. Would love to go back!
