Nice hotel with wonderful restaurant

The hotel is located at a beautiful location with a restaurant attached with fantastic views. The room was nice, and the food at the restaurant, bot for dinner and breakfast the next morning, was very good. We enjoyed our stay.

Overpriced for a clean but basic accommodation

It’s a nice enough place with clean and comfortable beds and good amenities. The kayaks available to the guests are a huge plus. The room is basic and small, the TV didn’t work, the balcony is nice. I don’t think it’s worth the $500 but I guess that’s what high season gets you.

Great Time at Smuggler's Cove Inn

Our room was newly renovated and we were the first to stay in it. It was beautiful, clean, the bed was very comfortable and having a deck overlooking the ocean was a great plus. We had a great housekeeper and the free breakfast was awesome. I can't say enough about the inn. I would recommend to anyone to stay there.
Donald, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hot breakfast was very good. We were there before they started the buffet, so it was cook to order off a limited menu. View of the bay was so-so, but the room was nice. The family who owns the place were very nice.
Jill, 2-night trip

Just okay

This inn was recently renovated but is still in progress in some areas. Our bathroom still had wall patches that hadn’t been painted. Our bathroom and the check in office smelled like a litter box. There’s minimal light in the room. We were thankful for the breakfast that was offered and everyone was nice.

We stayed at the end of the season to view the foliage and visit the pumpkin fest. The inn was nicely decorated and had amazing views of the harbor. The inn had nice amenities like a fire pit and free breakfast. We were also pleased at it proximity to booth bay harbor shops and restaurants.
