Schöne Unterkunft aber leider überteuert

Sehr schön angelegtes Resort nahe dem Meer Süß und individuell eingerichtetes Zimmer Schöner Pub

Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt überhaupt nicht, wir haben auf unserer Rundreise alle anderen B&B für mindestens 100 Pfund günstiger gehabt und mindestens ebenso, wenn nicht noch komfortabler. Aufgrund eines Reiseblogs, der diese Unterkunft als Geheimtipp beschrieben hat, habe ich wegen unseren Hochzeitstag dort gebucht. Dies wäre im Endeffekt nicht nötig gewesen. Schade!

Lovely

Breakfast was lovely, good basic choice but they did make changes on our request (simple ones) as we don't have huge appetites. Good food we had a lovely dinner. Location was great for walking and Weymouth drive etc. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed.

Remember you are sleeping above a pub, wasn't too bad but worth a thought.

A gorgeous and quiet stay above the pub. Delicious dinner and breakfast, a short walk to the beach and grassy coastal footpaths. The staff were super friendly and the room was very cosy. Loved the location- we visited Lulworth and Weymouth and stayed here just one night. The perfect getaway!

Good pub, but not really comfy place to sleep.

Great location on coastal path Food is good Drink selection good

Rooms v noisy. Located next to kitchen vents. Also staff entrance / exit through guest room area so doors banging until small hours. Actually I left at 1am on last night & went home. Noise was quite bad.

Glorious

The moment we arrived was amazing, the sun was just setting and the smugglers Inn was glowing! Plenty of good food options aswell as local beers. The room itself was perfect, many a niknak and nice and warm with teas and coffees and TV! The location is amazing and we watched the sunrise just past 5am in a 5 minute walk, the staff were super friendly and the breakfast gave perfect scrambled eggs! Can't thank you guys enough, we really enjoyed our stay :)

Food staff room excellent 👍

From first approach in the car park to leaving was an enjoyable experience.

we didn’t know the bar was closing early and we had to go to our rooms. It didn’t spoil our stay we made light of it but it would have been nice to have known when booking.

Very good

The food was excellent, both in the evening and at breakfast, but it was very standard pub food. It would be wonderful if places like this would give pre-booked guests the opportunity to order fresh fish or shellfish in advance, especially in winter when it is not too busy.

The bed was awful, too narrow, worn out and incredibly noisy springs. This is the reason I would not stay there again or any other hotels in the group, which I suspect from their web pages, have much the same furnishings.

Top quality all round, and even the weather was good for start of November.

Excellent all round value. Courteous and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast included. Food in restaurant of high standard

Didnt like fact that Booking.com DID NOT check with the accommodation regarding my request for ground floor rooms given my dog does not like stairs. This excellent all round place has NO ground floor rooms. This is not the first time Booking.com have lied regarding a request because THEY haven't bothered to check, but claim in email they have.

Quaint pub, nice location. Food expensive for quality. Rooms are small and cluttered with knicknacks

Location was good.

Dinner service on 1st night was very slow, we had to ask where our order was. It then came quickly but it clearly had been kept hot and we had been forgotten because it was over cooked. 2nd night ordered a simple salad and it was on the table quickly. Breakfast on both mornings was very slow - don't be in a hurry to get out if you stay there! They love sourdough so you get it even if you ask for another option for bread from the menu.

The best staff ever and fab location and rooms

Staff were exceptional. Service out of this world, offered choice of room on arrival

There’s a kitchen extractor outside room 4. Make sure it’s turned off overnight or you’ll hear it

Exceptional

The friendly staff and the pretty bedroom with good shower/bath. The character of the pub with good seating choice both inside and out . Near to the sea and coastal walks

Loved it..would stay again. Only would prefer a softer pillow.But I brought my goose down feather pillow with silk pillow case with me as few hotels pubs give feather pillows.

Lovely Stay

The Smuggler's Inn is in a gorgeous location just set back from the beach. The pub is full of character and nicely decorated. The menu has good vegan options for both dinner and breakfast. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helped us out with our baggage transfer as we were walking to our next destination.

The bed was quite squeaky and every time I moved in the night it creaked.

Even though it is expensive we were very happy there with the room, food and service from the staff.

Location, breakfast was excellent

Although we really like the smugglers inn and have been there before we still regards it as very expensive comparing it with other hotels that we have stayed in of a similar standard hotel.

Relaxing break in a stunning location.

Breakfasts were superb although service a bit slow. Lovely fresh fruit and croissants brought to table whilst waiting for breakfasts to be cooked. Location onto coastal path excellent.

On our first night food choices on menu depleted somewhat. We were told there were supply issues. What we had was excellent and supply issues had been resolved the next day and we preordered our choice for evening meal at breakfast.
