Our stay at Smugglers Inn was excellent there was a bit of noise on the first night with staff chatting till the early hours, but second night was very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again.

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

Lovely room, cute location, shame about the food
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.

Smugglers inn
While the property was lovely and in a beautiful location, the staff were friendly and the experience was overall great it was let down by two things.
1) the food was all frozen food heated up. I doubt the kitchen had more than an oven, a microwave and a fryer. I was expecting freshly made gastro pub food and was very disappointed.
2) the carpark is very small and often has no place to park. There should be bays dedicated to the residents. You don’t want to have to lug bags for half a mile along the road! There are two electric charging bays and the entire stay they were occupied by petrol cars. O policing was even attempted.

Hidden Gem
This hidden gem is a great place to stay. The staff bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable and well fed. Not at all cold like most hotel rooms very individual.

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.

Nice pub/hotel with new rooms, although overpriced
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.

The staff were delightful. Easy and friendly. The food was very good. Our Jack Russel was welcomed. The room was clean and comfortable. Now we have found it, we will return. Not a place for long stays though. No wardrobe or draws, but that did not phase us.

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
