Reviews
Wonderful Accommodation and walking. The walking was excellent - as expected. After a great day out walking it was lovely to return to the Smugglers Rest, it was like home from home... but with a first class chef, excellent wine and fantastic, friendly staff at the end of each day. We returned feeling a sense of achievement and well rested.
