The location was superb. The owners were very friendly and kind. The rooms were comfortable. The cooked breakfast was by far the nicest breakfast I have had in years. The price, quality and size of it was amazing.

This is an amazing place to stay whilst visiting Newquay. The location is central so well connected to transport/ shops/ food options and the room had everything you`d need for a comfortable stay. Beautifully decorated to a high standard with an immaculate shower, hot drinks, easy to use TV and comfy bed. Storage , shelves and hooks all in the right places so easy to organise my travel stuff. I felt at home!

In all honesty I really couldn't find a single fault with this place

Though the location was ideal, halfway between the bus and train station and close to the shops and beach but still out of the way enough to be peaceful , the B&B owners were nice friendly people who took an interest in the OCR I was running down there, the tea and coffee making facilities were plentiful and the bed was really comfortable with good quality pillows, overall I would say that this was the nicest place I have stayed at all 21 OCR events I have attended so far this year

That i had to leave.

Hi, if you found availability in this property know you are blessed. From the very beginning, both hosts Ellen and John received me warmly and were committed to serve with genuine care. From the clean and well equipped room, to the Michelin star breakfast by John and the recommendations (with actual maps) to wonder around their lovely city coasts. As a female solo traveler, I look forward to returning!

All ok

Very nice people. The location is really great, close to shops and the beach. A very nice and friendly atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. This is exactly the kind of place we were looking for, and now we have it. We'll choose this Smugglers Rest again every time we come back.

Perfect Location and a Lovely Stay! We absolutely loved the location – it was perfect for us! Just a short walk to the beach and the harbour, which quickly became my favourite spot. There’s a lovely bar right on the beach at the harbour, where you can relax with a drink or a snack while the kids play happily in the sand. There are toilets nearby too, which is super convenient. Sainsbury’s is also close by, right on the way to the harbour, which made it easy to grab anything we needed. We spent most of our days exploring other parts of Cornwall, so we mainly enjoyed our evenings in Newquay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made us feel very welcome. Our room was bright, quite spacious, and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed – a kettle with tea and coffee and a small fridge, which was really handy. Overall, it was a great base for our Cornwall adventures and a lovely place to come back to each day. Would definitely recommend!
