Early morning January sunrise over the bay was spectacular. Reluctant review as would really like to keep this as our... More

We recently visited Robin Hood's bay for the famous Victorian weekend and was absolutely thrilled by the hotel room, the breakfast & the incredibly friendly staff! We stayed 2 nights and had a wonderful time! We will be back soon! My only criticism would be that the rooms are very expensive!

I have visited smugglers a number of times and although i respect other opinions i cannot concur with the authors comments dated 22Oct. The food is excellent and the hospitality welcoming the owners have transformed a tired business into a bay hotspot. Congratulations for getting it right i for one will be going back soon.
