Rooms & Historic Character
The Smugglers Inn offers four individually designed en-suite bedrooms, each with unique custom decor and themes that reflect the building's 17th-century smuggler's past. Rooms are traditionally furnished with wooden floors and include a TV, hairdryer, and free toiletries. The inn also provides on-site electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities, a rare amenity for a historic coastal pub.

The on-site restaurant serves award-winning local Badger Beers alongside a menu of fresh, seasonal dishes. Guests can enjoy traditional British pub fare in the dining area or relax in the outdoor beer garden with views of the Isle of Portland. A special Sunday night stay offer is available for weekend guests, and breakfast includes hot dishes and a continental buffet.
