About

Welcome to the Smuggler’s Haunt Bed and Breakfast Hotel. This history-rich building comprises of fourteen guest bedrooms over three stories, and is situated in the heart of the idyllic fishing town of Brixham, and just a stone’s throw away from the harbour. Brixham and surrounding Torbay (The English Riviera) offer a plethora of attractions, places of interest and natural beauty to appeal to all people of all ages.

Dating back to the 17th century, the Smuggler’s Haunt was originally two cottages, and was the residence of notorious Devonshire smuggler Bob Elliot in 1851. Following a large find of tobacco, he escaped Revenue men by being placed in a large coffin built in the carpenter shop, which is now the hotel’s reception area.

Under recent new ownership, the hotel has undergone extensive transformations to breathe new life into this remarkable building. Breakfast is held in our beautiful spacious nautically decorated restaurant, which in the near future will be available to book for evening meals. A newly furnished cosy lounge is also now available for residents to enjoy and relax.
