About Smugglers Rest
Some rooms at Smugglers Rest look straight out over the bay, a small perk in what is otherwise a plain, unfussy guesthouse on Seymour Avenue in Newquay. Rooms here are simple rather than stylish, but each comes with an en-suite bathroom, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children.
Guests get breakfast to start the day, with packed lunches and kids' meals available too, plus a bar and drinks brought to the room for anyone settling in for the evening. There's a lounge and games room for downtime, a garden and outdoor seating for fairer weather, and free on-site parking for those arriving by car. Luggage storage and room service are also on hand, and pets are welcome.
Newquay's beaches and coastline are within easy reach, and the area around the B&B caters well to an active stay, with cycling, walking, watersports, golf, fishing and horse riding all nearby, alongside pubs, restaurants and entertainment for evenings out. It's a straightforward base for exploring Cornwall rather than a destination in itself.
What guests say
What can I say about this little gem? My partner and I stayed here during a surf trip, and wow – this place exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, John and his team made us feel incredibly welcome. Their hospitality was second to none. I unfortunately injured my knee during our stay, and they couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. They even went out of their way to arrange parking right outside for us, which was hugely appreciated. The room was absolutely beautiful – spotless, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax after a day in the water. The location is fantastic too, just a short 5-minute walk from the town centre, making it ideal for exploring everything the area has to offer. The combination of outstanding service, a lovely atmosphere, and a great location made this a truly memorable stay. We genuinely couldn’t fault a thing and will 100% be returning. Highly recommended

I had a wonderful stay here. The place is run by a lovely family who made me feel really welcome from the moment I arrived. My room was super clean, cozy, and comfortable. There was a kettle with tea and coffee in the room, as well as a fridge, which was really convenient. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, one of the best I’ve had during my trip. The location couldn’t be better. It’s right in the city center, just a short walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. They even gave me a map with great local tips, including where to go to see the seals, which was such a cool experience. As a female solo traveler I felt very safe the entire time. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for somewhere warm and welcoming to stay.

Amazing place to stay. Great location, spotlessly clean, brilliant breakfast and the best hosts you will ever meet. So friendly and helpful, really want their guests to have the best time and we certainly did. Our dog was spoilt with treats and sausage for breakfast, he was made to feel very welcome. Highly recommend this accommodation.
