  • "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.

  • "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.

  • "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.

  • "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.

    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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
