We have just spent two nights in this wonderful cottage and we cannot recommend it too highly. Home from home with super hosts Roger and Victoria, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Thank you both so much. More

This hotel is beautiful on the outside and inside as well. The rooms have low ceilings with visible beams. We were served the best possible English breakfast. This is the only hotel in England where I got strong and tasteful coffe. The hotel is run by a wonderful elderly couple and the hotell is full of soul and character. More

I stay three or four times a year on business trips, sometimes accompanied by my wife who takes her bicycle for exploring the local countryside and amenities. If you want all the latest bits and pieces and blandness go to a Travel Inn. If you want superb breakfasts and a genuine friendly welcome then visit Smugglers cottage. Nothing fits straight... More
