We received excellent and personal service from everybody at the "The Smugglers". Definitely one of the best breaks we ever had. The room was exceptional, very clean, quiet and extra spacious. The breakfast was very tasty and freshly prepared every morning exactly to our liking! We would definitely stay here again.

We only stayed one night and were up early to catch onward transport. Clean and all you need for a quick stay. Although the room we had only has French doors to the room and is over looked by other properties, if worried about privacy you would need to keep the curtains closed, could do with some sort of net curtains to cover door while still letting in natural light. But a overall welcoming and comfortable.

Like staying in a seaside postcard

This is an adorable, cozy, beautiful, clean guest house. Our room was so inviting and tidy with the best view! The hosts were friendly and helpful and provided an excellent breakfast each day. We will stay there again. The only issue is that parking can be a bit challenging. This is to be expected, though, in Cornwall in summer.

Loved this B&B - the room (Langley) was clean and big, and had everything you need. There was a cafetiere for the coffee which I genuinely don't know that I've ever had in a hotel before, and really liked. There's UHT milk in the room and fresh milk and cold water in a fridge in the guest lounge (as well as bags of ice that I somehow missed until the last night, don't miss the ice). If I had a single negative about the room it would be that the headboard or bed frame creaks really loudly when you move a specific way, but I really don't think that rates a complaint or loss of a star. Location is great, you're right on the Newlyn harbour and walking distance to Mousehole and Penzance. We parked in the long stay car park round the corner on arrival then didn't go near the car again until we left, if you don't fancy walking there are also regular buses and a stop two minutes away. The best thing about this stay is the breakfast, I'd recommend for that alone. The variety is so good for a B&B, and the quality is great. Everything we tried was delicious, and generously portioned. Stephen and Barbara were very friendly and welcoming, and Barbara gave us a great recommendation on the bus options that I think we probably would have otherwise missed. Absolutely recommend and 100% would stay again.

The hosts were lovely. Clean, safe, comfortable, good common area includes fridge, glasses, plates & cutlery. Delicious breakfasts with a view of the colourful boat harbour. The pub in Mousehole (5 min walk) was good. Parking is a short distance away but make sure you have cell / text service to use the parking app in case the only machine in the lot isn't working as the next lot is 2 miles away! Would stay here again!!!

The room was great. The location in Newlyn overlooking the fishing fleet harbor was really wonderful. Barbara and Stephen were personable and always helpful. Stephen's breakfasts were great, and he even made a lunch to go when we had to catch a train prior to breakfast. We had a great stay!
