Gostou This campsite is truly beautiful, with stunning views all around. The pitches are a generous size and feel private, separated by bushes and trees so you don’t feel overlooked (though you may need to cross another pitch to reach the WC). The facilities are sparkling clean, which made the stay very comfortable.

Não gostou The only downside for me was the road above the pitches — I could hear car noises at night, but I’m a light sleeper, so it may not bother others as much.

Gostou We’re just on our way home after a fabulous long weekend at Smugglers Cove Boatyard and we didn’t want to leave!

On arrival, we were met my Sophie who was very welcoming and helpful. She was usually around the boatyard during the day.

We stayed in Hannah and what a charming little boat it is! It literally has everything you need for a stay away from home, even down to there being camping chairs, washing up liquid and cooking oil. You could go with just your clothes, towels and bedding and wouldn’t need anything else. There’s even plates, cups and cutlery! And there is surprisingly lots of storage areas for everything to go!

I loved the layout of the boat and especially the log burner which I used one of the mornings when it was a bit chilly. There are free logs provided but you can always buy more.

We came as family with two 11 year olds and they loved their little bedroom and exploring around the boatyard. They found lots of little crabs too and liked the swing!

The toilet/shower/washing up block just steps away. The toilets in there are composting toilets but there are proper toilets and shower by the car park just up the path. I found all the facilities clean and tidy. I also liked that there are bins provided for food waste and recyclables!

The boatyard is just minutes away from Aberdobey and we loved the beach there, there’s lots of pubs and coffee shops. It’s also about 45 minutes from Aberystwyth so definitely worth a visit.

I think the best thing about the boatyard though has to be the scenery which just stunning! It’s such a quiet, peaceful and beautiful corner of the world.

We will be returning, next time I want to stay in The Boy John!

Gostou We liked all the new add ons
The washing up area and toilets near to the boats instead of going back to the yard.
The Hannah boat for its size had everything you could think of on board.

Gostou Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff, the boat was perfect for us, the staff left plenty of wood to make a fire in the fire pit or in the wood burner indoors. The shower block and toilet facilities were clean.

Gostou What a view to wake up to! Having discovered smugglers cove boatyard camping several years ago, we have returned as a large family for several years, hiring the 3 camping pitches for our own little private getaway. Love it here.

Gostou The views and the facilities. The strong mobile network was a welcomed surprise. Staff was also friendly. Bring your binoculars

Não gostou Not much the guys in the next tent was way to chatty but that's not the campsites fault.
