Loved by Smugglers Rest Hotel guests
"The property was in a prime location close enough to the beach and local attractions but also secluded away enough that you weren't in the middle of town."
"Just a short walk to the beach and the harbour, which quickly became my favourite spot."
"The guest house is very clean and homey, breakfast fantastic and the location literally just a minute from the local shops and a few minutes from the Towan Beach."
