Stacey & Will welcoming, friendly and super helpful. Went out of their way to help when we had forgotten to pack something we needed. Will organised our parking permit which made things alot easier on arriving. Room very clean and extra comfy bed. Breakfast amazing, a lot of choice on the menu, set us up for the day. Location great 10 mins walk from Holiday Park where our young family were staying. Loved the welcoming we received from Kingsley on entering the building! Thank you both (and Kingsley) for a lovely stay.

Can't fault it !

Had a great stay at the Smugglers, room was comfy and beautifully decorated with some nice touches including a Nespresso machine (pods replaced daily) Breakfast was exceptionally good, with great variety to choose from, all very well presented and tasty Big shout out to Will and Stacey the owners, well done both and keep up the brilliant work !

The ‘Lee’ was a small double room as advertised but much smaller than expected, very warm and slight disturbance from rooms above and next door.

Charming very friendly, helpful, hospitable hosts. Convenient for walking the SW coast path with a local bus stop outside the door. Delicious wide choice for breakfast included and very good high quality but expensive dinner menu. Mortehoe is a lovely little village with 2 pubs, popular fish and chip shop, another take away restaurant and a small post office, no food store. Busy in the evenings with campsites close by.

Ideal location for what we wanted, Will & Stacy were great hosts, friendly, helpful and very welcoming. Great choices for breakfast (we didn't eat there in evening) Very quiet at night as well, overall we enjoyed our mini break at Smugglers Rest Would we come back again? Yes we definitely would

We can’t fault the property.

The property has been renovated to high standard and well maintained. Quality of the restaurant food is fantastic - including a broad breakfast choice and fabulous food quality. The Bistro was equally great, plus a lovely atmosphere. The property is in a great location. The owners made us feel at home. We will be back! Thank you 🤩

The Smugglers Rest is a very special place. We wanted to get away for a weekend and simply enjoy some time together in peace and quiet. We were warmly welcomed by Will right from the start and were able to check into a very cosy and stylish room straight away. At first we ate in other pubs, but were quickly won over by his wife's cooking skills. It starts with incredible mussels, continues with delicious seafood pasta and ends with an incredible chocolate fondant. The team at The Smugglers Rest simply knows how to make guests feel very comfortable and at the same time impress with high quality. Thank you for your time!

Loved our stay at Smugglers Rest. Will and Stacey made us feel so welcome and at home. Would highly recommend

Nothing! One small observation - we would have appreciated the offer of fruit / cereal for breakfast, but it has to be said that everything on the menu (pancakes / smoothie bowl / omelette / cooked breakfast) was top notch.

Will and Stacey (and Kingsley the retriever!) welcome their guests very warmly to their delightful home, which soon feels like your home too. The room we had was enormous with a seating area as well as a spacious bathroom with bath and a huge shower. Extremely comfy bed, lots of hot water and a deeply peaceful night’s sleep. The breakfast was delicious and we also ate on 2 evenings in the bistro - exceptionally good food and a chilled vibe. Be aware that the restaurant is not open every evening. Mortehoe is a charming small village, though there are 2 pubs to choose from (not to mention the tea room which does the best cream tea ever!) and you can walk directly out onto the coast path in either direction. We saw seals and kestrels out near Morte Point - such a delight! Woolacombe is just a short hop down the road with its 2 miles of sandy beach and there are numerous small coves for a swim too. Croyde and Ilfracombe within 20 minutes drive and we can recommend a boat trip to Lundy Island - we saw puffins as well as numerous seabirds. Car parking is directly over the road - just buy a 4 or 7 day pass. We can’t wait to return to this little slice of heaven!

Bed was a bit soft for my liking

Lovely room (exmoor) and fantastic friendly hosts. Dinner was amazing, and the breakfast choice was really good. Despite the heatwave outside the property remained a reasonable temperature

The breakfasts were amazing, and the hosts were very helpful.

Nothing as they provided an outstanding stay

The owners Will and Stacey were so attentive and really helpful, they knew the area well and advised some good places to go to like Rosemoor and Croyde bay and which local pubs to go to. They definitely went above and beyond to make our stay lovely. The info pack in the room was informative, breakfast was superb and we had dinner one night as well which exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend this place as it was very reasonably priced for the area which meant we could stay here and we would definitely be going back sometime.

Lovely couple than ran it. Accommodated early check in. Excellent pillows (strange to say it but true) Good breakfast/generous portions

A pity you have to pay extra for car park, but hey, there is worse in life.

This is a B&B like no other. The welcome of the staff, the amenities in the room (real coffee, thank you so much) and the restaurant is amazing. This place feels so welcoming and homely from the moment you enter. A big thank you to the front manager who is the kindest person and full of good advice when it comes to visiting the area. And greetings to Kingsley, the dog you want to adopt ;-)

The Smugglers rest is in the perfect location for amazing views and only a short bus ride to Woolacombe beach. The hosts were lovely and the breakfast was exceptional. The room was cosy and stylish.
