Poor car park (limited spaces and massive pot holes).

Friendly staff, great breakfast

We had a power failure in our room on the first night which affected our sleep as an emergency light came on…

Fantastic location… amazing, friendly and helpful staff… wonderful food! All round it was great for us.

The car park was small

The room was very clean, the pub was quiet, the staff were first class, couldn't do enough for us, and paticular staff member called Harry went above and beyond for us.

The car park.. if it is owned by the Smugglers Inn, it would be nice of them to spend a bit of money on making the car park safer .it is very uneven, and some of the holes could quite easily damage your car if you happen to go down one.

The Smugglers Inn is really lovely and so dog friendly The staff were friendly and extremely helpful We ate in twice during our stay, and the food was presented nicely and tasted great. Its position in Osmington Mills is great for a base to travel to everywhere on the Jurassic Coast.

The Car Park - the flooring is extremely uneven and rocky with steep slope so don’t take any nice cars. Also it is not reserved so often found no space to park on return from day out. Pls tarmac this! Food - good offering but we felt the variety could have been better particularly vegetarian options over dinner Room Temperature - way too warm. Would ask management to put some ceiling fans in!

Staff are excellent and very helpful and friendly The rooms are very well done up and decorated and whole upstairs has a premium feel including bathrooms Location is great right on the coastal path

Great layout and very charming and cozy environment. Easy access to coastal paths. The pub downstairs offers delicious food throughout the day. Bar staff were all attentive and friendly.

Loud extractor fan outside the bedroom window on all day and evening, which meant we couldn't open it even though room was a a bit hot and stuffy. Spiders!!

Clean room, apart from 2 huge spiders in the corners! Very comfy beds. Great location and excellent breakfast. Dinner ok, but a grilled fish dish would have been nice for non meat eaters..

Amazing coastal walks on the doorstep, great food, both at breakfast and especially for dinner. Highly recommended

Noise from kitchen ventilation fan was a bit of a pain in Room 3. If available, request another room.

I' have liked more fish on the menu for example kippers for breakfast.

it was quiet and off the main road

The food and vibe was amazing. We got engaged whilst we were staying here and the staff made it even more special. It was so welcoming and as special as our first visit.

What a great location! We stopped here on the first night of our Road Trip and it was one of the highlights of the trip. The location is outstanding and great for people who love hiking. We ate in the restaurant and the food was really good. My kids enjoyed everything about the place. After I left I realised I had left my wedding ring in the room and was already in Devon at this point. They kindly arranged to post it to my home address asap and didn't even want me to pay for postage. Fantastic stay and very nice staff. Beds super comfy

We stayed for two nights. On the first night, loud music in the pub kept us awake. We were travelling with kids, and the noise made them stay up later than we would have liked. The walls are quite thin; you hear talking and laughing from below. The second night was quieter.

Beautiful location with a path leading down to the beach. The breakfast had a nice menu with tasty food and generous portions.

Room and food and location

Stayed in July 2025

Our room got very hot( weather very hot when there) and the extractors for the kitchen below were right outside our window this meant it was very noisy if the window was open in the evening and didn't help cool the room as the extractors were blowing hot air. Also although a free car park this was full if returned during the day or early evening.

Great location if walking the coast path and very friendly, helpful staff

One very small problem, not the hotels fault mine. The steps to the property are not easy for less mobile people. Soon sorted as there is a ramp nest to steps although a little hidden. Maybe a little sign showing easier access.

The location, the staff were excellent all of them so friendly and helpful

When busy struggled to keep up partly as people turn up all at once. Parking was poor, awful car park and although private for the pub, used by everyone so you may well not find a spot if you are staying over which will be a problem. Rooms were compact and a step in the middle of the bathroom!! OK for us but if you're dodgy on you feet, I'd recommend checking with the pub which rooms would be more suitable for you prior to booking. Finally, serving marg instead of butter!!! Stop that immediately.

Lovely location, very nice pub. Food was good but nothing special, typical chain pub food. Great staff.

Car park was up a steep hill so had to make a few trips with bags. No big deal though. Someone did offer to help as well

Perfect location, close to all the major beaches and sights. There was plenty of space to sit and enjoy a drink or meal outside with my dog. Inside was roomy and airy even on a hot day. Food was brilliant and the staff were all polite and helpful. My room was gorgeous, all the little coastal decorative touches were appreciated! Thank you for being very dog friendly!
