Smugglers Cove Reviews

Lorraine
Lovely clean and comfortable apartment with fantastic view of the sea. The apartment has everything you need and is in a great location.
David
We had a great break staying at an ideally positioned property with everything you would need. Warm and comfortable. Definitely would recommend staying here. We will certainly stay again.
Chris
Lovely apartment with an amazing sea view. The patio area could do with a tidy up but with the weather being dismal it didn't help. It would definitely look better in the summer.
Alison
We had a lovely stay at Smugglers Cove. It was great to have the garden terrace and sea view. The apartment is well equipped and in a perfect location- thanks very much.
Andy
Need good weather, or you're stuck in an amazing apartment looking at the sea through your patio doors at the sea.....still beautiful!
David
The studio is in a amazing location with just a few minor things that could make the studio an amazing place to stay the main thing is the patio area could be really special place to spend time if it was just tidy and cleaned up a bit and the bed could do with updating really.
Juliette
This property is a little slice of heaven. The views are dreamlike, and are worth staying just for those! Itââ?¬â?¢s comfortable, cozy and has everything you need. Using the Cove car park is the closest the property. The only down side for us was the stairs to get from the front door down to the property. But only because we have a dog thatââ?¬â?¢s not great on his legs. The photos on the site do not do this place justice! The host is fab too. She came to see up when we got there and is so lovely. Loved it!
Clare
Great location with stunning views. Well maintained and equipped. Parking included which is a real bonus. Very good communication from owners too.
Maria

Michael
Very well laid out apartment with all you might need and super location with sea at end of terrace. Owners very supportive.
Gillian
Good location, central for everything. Minutes from the harbour, bars and shops.
Helen
This holiday flat is amazing. It has all you need, an amazingly comfy bed, fantastic shower and a view that waking up to is just what holidays are about. Ideally located to explore coastal towns nearby, but with enough coastal exploration on the door step you don't need to drive out every day. Some amazing pubs, would highly recommend the Hip great food, reasonable prices and the staff are just lovely.
Jan
Well equipped. Loved listening to the sea crashing onto the rocks.
