Recommend, particularly for visitors with dogs. However, there is very little hot water to be drawn at one time ie for a bath, and there is only one smallish table in the cottage to sit at, which is adequate for two to eat at, but certainly not big enough for more than one person to sit at with a laptop and papers, or a jigsaw etc. So this not a cottage big enough for two people to stay home and amuse themselves on a rainy day, unless one of them is going to read on the sofa....

What a gem! Tucked out of the way close to the coast and excellent for dogwalking, but still within very easy reach of local facilities.

I have stayed at Higher Pentire (Carminowe View) a good few times going back to 1998 and was at Carminowe View last year and I know and love the place and that part of Cornwall. Smugglers Cottage was very much in keeping with my previous experiences and a worthy part of Higher Pentire. The cottage had everything required for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay, being attractive and rustic and well equipped and comfortable. The tranquillity was a major feature. The cottage is in a farmyard facing a barn and the Culdrose air base is nearby near Helston, but it was very peaceful as the airbase was not active very often (it's not an issue even when helicopters are about) and the farmyard (not an active farm) is very quiet: I just saw residents and horses moving about a few times. This was just the ticket for a great walking holiday in Cornwall as the amazing Loe Pool and Penrose Estate is an easy walk away and you can also access the coast without taking the car out; further, loads of great walks are a short drive away; it's also a blissful place to simply relax undisturbed. The situation is very romantic and beautiful. The kitchen and bathroom are well-equipped and the lounge is characterful and cosy and a great place to spend time. The bedroom is very quiet and relaxing (I felt like time stood still in there!). I was a little concerned about parking in the adjacent field it in the event it was OK for me. The internet was great and there was a smart TV - unexpected bonuses in self catering! I really enjoyed Smugglers and it's definitely a candidate for next year! I would say Smugglers is great for one or two seeking a peaceful haven and is ideal for walkers....
