"Lovely accommodation in great location for exploring the Pembrokeshire coast."
Host very friendly and gave suggestions of dog friendly places to visit and places to eat. Accommodation was spotless with everything you’d need. WiFi was good despite fairly remote location. So quiet and perfect for a peaceful stay.

"The cottage was comfortable and very clean and had everything we needed for our stay plus added extras."
It was very convenient to Lydstep beach and headland and set in a very peaceful setting. It's not far from Tenby which is a beautiful town.
-
"Thank you for a lovely stay."
The welcome gifts were lovely - a comfy bungalow in a peaceful setting. Highly recommended
-
"This is a cosy clean cottage, easy to find, great location geographically."
Only 4 stars from us personally as it is situated within the owners driveway. Completely overlooked. Unable to get dressed without closing the curtains. One bath towel each and a very small hand towel. We only found out that we were able to use the garden from the visitors book. It has ok WiFi and a smart TV. The sofa is very clean but the springs have collapsed. This is a spacious clean cottage but not the right place for us.

"Excellent location for exporting the coastal path, beach, shops and pubs all within 10 minute walk."
Longer walks to Manorbier and Tenby are also accessible. Property was prefect for a family of four and our dog. Will definitely look to book again.

"A very well presented cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location."
Roomy, airy with private parking and very well appointed with everything we could need for a long weekend break. The family room incorporates a large 3 seater sofa and separate comfy chair with a large coffee table and Freeview TV. A good size dining table separates the kitchen which has full oven, microwave and a large fridge freezer. The welsh cakes, milk, tea, coffee etc. were very well received. The bedrooms are a good size with adequate storage, although the lack of hanging space in the second bedroom could be an issue for some people. Very well maintained inside and out and in a very quiet location in the village. There is a pub nearby but only appears to be open at weekends. Dog walking is excellent. A short walk from the cottage and you are on the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path with stunning views to Caldey Island and the Gower Peninsula. Tenby is a 10 minute drive away with a great variety of shops and eateries. We thoroughly enjoyed Westgate House on South Parade. Dog friendly with delicious cakes! Somewhere we are planning on returning to.

-
"Loved smugglers, everything very clean and well maintained, most comfortable bed ever!"
Loved the location and the little gated yard was great for our whippet Tig. Will definitely stay again!
-
"Well done, perfect accommodation."
-
"Nice tidy property and location for our short break with dog."
Only disappointment was the Lydstep tavern was closed for the duration of our stay. Would have no hesitation in recommending a stay here and look forward to returning in future.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Smugglers."
The accommodation was spotlessly clean with a lovely welcome pack of Prosecco and Welsh Cakes which was a bonus on arrival. Very relaxing lounge with Netflix TV well equipped bathroom and nicely furnished rooms with comfortable beds. The setting is peaceful off the main Tenby Pembroke road conveniently situated for the beaches spanning this beautiful part of Pembrokeshire and a short walk from the Coast Path and Lydstep Bay. The owners are friendly and welcoming and we hope to return for another trip in 2023.

"Lovely cottage, great location to many beautiful beaches."

Could not fault the cottage in any way. But just a small suggestion! A couple of glass microwave bowls would be useful in the kitchen.

"We had a lovely break at Smugglers cottage, which is in an ideal position to visit the beaches and amenities in Pembrokeshire."
The property was clean, light, nicely decorated, and comfortably furnished. The kitchen was well equipped and met our needs. We met the owner on our arrival who was very friendly and helpful, but not intrusive in any way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to return.

We would like to thank the property owners for their kindness and for making our stay a happy occasion, Paul and Della Curtis
-
"Very nice cottage."
The owners were very nice and friendly.
-
"Lovely cottage, warm, clean and comfortable."
Thoughtful welcome gifts of prosseco and tea cakes - much appreciated. As it was still quite cold at night a slightly thicker duvet would have been appreciated. All in all though - highly recommended.
-
"Perfect place to stay in order to explore the Pembrokeshire coast."
Can't fault the cottage - warm and welcoming with all the facilities needed for a lovely week's stay.
-
"We had a fantastic time."
The weather was wild and wet but we still enjoyed the walks with our dog down to the beach. It would be even better with sunny, warm days. The cottage was a little hard to find, it being behind the Spa that the postcode takes you to. We had a lovely warm welcome with some fizz and welsh cakes, milk, tea, coffee and sugar. All very clean with everything we needed too. Very cosy and peaceful to come back to after a day out, walking. Slight problem is that my dog managed to find a way out of the enclosed garden so we had to keep her on the lead. But no complaints at all, otherwise. Thankyou for a lovely weekend break.
-
"Great location, and the cottage was equipped really well."
Very useful to have an outside area where our dog could be 'contained' for a short while, eg while eating her food. Also handy dog-walking areas, as well as the lovely cliff top.
-
"Brill stay nice friendly owners will def be back again in the winter nice ..."
Brill stay nice friendly owners will def be back again in the winter nice clean place dog friendly home from home will book again
-
"Smugglers is a lovely, clean, well-equipped cottage in a great location near to Tenby."
We had a great break exploring the locality - the owner’s local knowledge was particularly helpful. There are lovely walks from the cottage as well as beautiful beaches to discover nearby. The cottage provided all we needed for a very comfortable stay.
-
"Photos and description don’t indicate clearly enough the close proximity of the owners house resulting in a lack of privacy."
-
"We enjoyed our stay at the Smugglers, I could recommend that an ironing board and iron are provided, very good location to the beach and Tenby."
Very clean and cosy cottage.
-
"It would have been useful to have a map of the area but maybe Covid-19 prevented that."
-
"A really lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and very comfortable in an excellent location."
Some great walks and places to visit in the area. Probably the best we have stayed in over the years.
-
"Superb setting and really good place to stay."
Highly recommended.

The cottage was comfortable, spotless and in a perfect location.
-
"Very clean and welcoming."
Excellent location
-
"Spotless cottage with all the comforts of home."
Lovely location with everything at the doorstep...beaches, shops and restaurants ( when they are open). We had one of our best get aways at Smugglers. We will definitely be booking with Smugglers owners again.
-
"Spotlessly clean on arrival!"
Which gave us comfort especially during these hard times of covid! Nice equipped cottage with comfy beds! In a quiet, beautiful location with wonderful walks! A superb welcome gift was waiting on the table in the kitchen! Friendly owners who respect your privacy but are there if needed! Great walks all around and incredible beaches too! Very dog friendly and Oakley our dog enjoyed his stay just as much as we as a family did! A very much needed break was enjoyed by all! Thank you I would highly recommend and would also return back if we chose to visit this side of Wales again!

Would of been useful to have a map for walking when we arrived, were not sure where we could walk to start with, after asking a few locals we were OK
-
"Excellent location, lots to do with the children right on the door step."
Lovely village location, within walking distance to places to drink and restaurants and a nice little park. Owners very friendly and welcoming, prosecco, milk and welsh cakes were a lovely surprise. The cottage itself was spotless, beds comfy, modern bathroom and bedrooms tastefully decorated. We are in the holiday cottage business ourselves and this place definitely deserves atleast four stars, not three! A wonderful stay, we have already booked for next May. Can't wait to return.
-
"A fantastic place."
Great location, able to walk to the beach and beautiful clifftop walks. Would definitely visit again.
-
"Enjoyed our stay."
The Smugglers is a good base for exploring the stunning coastline. It's great to be able to stroll down the lane and be on the coastal path in minutes. The prosecco and Welsh cakes were a very welcome suprise when we arrived. The property is opposite the owners house which means when you sit outside it is overlooked, however they are careful to keep themselves to themselves.

The property
A stones throw away from the coast set in the heart of Lydstep, near the village of Manorbier is the charming ground-floor property, Smugglers.
The property rests in the grounds of the owner’s home and has been completely renovated inside with all quality fixtures and fittings with a lovely light décor.
Entering the property, be welcomed into an open-plan living space which comes with a sofa and armchair where you can look forward to relaxing and unwinding in front of the TV and catch up on your favourite shows with the provided Netflix account.
Behind this is a kitchen which has a set of cream units and sleek wooden worktops housing all the appliances needed for cooking up some delicious meals.
Gather at the dining table to enjoy a lovingly-made meal and discuss the day’s events with a refreshing glass of sparkling wine.
Once the evening draws to a close, retire to one of the two well-presented bedrooms in the form of a king-size and a twin, offering matching bedside tables and lamps for some late night reading and plenty of storage space.
To the front of the property is an enclosed gravel garden where you can take your morning cup of tea and indulge in a good book whilst the sun rise or sets.
A short walk down the lane takes you to the rugged Coastal Path, the best way to really appreciate the stunning coastline.
At low tide you must explore the Lydstep Caverns and Smugglers Caves or stroll along the Lydstep Haven beach.
Lydstep has a fantastic village pub which is extremely popular and also Waves restaurant where you can dine overlooking the bay or treat yourself to a pamper session in the Celtic Haven spa, all within walking distance.
Just down the coast is the village of Manorbier which has a convenience store for all the essentials.
For a spot of history, make sure you visit the 11th century Castle, or enjoy a long relaxing afternoon at Manorbiers world class surfing beach where you can sunbathe, swim or take the opportunity for some watersports such as kayaking and sea fishing.
Smugglers is the perfect property for holidays to the coast.
