The breakfast was amazing and fresh. Staff were very nice. We had an issue with the a/c in our first room and they quickly moved us to another room. The only down side was the sewer smell near on the one side of the building. Other wise it was a GREAT stay. Beautiful and and a great area.

Location was very quaint and picturesque. Our room was very clean. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinners at the restaurant. The food was delicious and staff was very accommodating. The only complaint was the shower water temperature took too long to become warm. We would definitely return to Smugglers again.

Truly enjoyed our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. There’s a lovely little dining room for breakfast and enjoyed live music Tues evening with the best dinner on our trip. The burrata squash salad with crostini along with the best tika masala we’ve ever had were definite highlights. The property felt very family friendly and we enjoyed seeing lots of dog owners out and about. It was nice to be away from the tourism downtown yet close enough to take advantage of it and the Maine Coast Botanical Gardens which is a must see.
