The Smugglers Inn
Once home to the infamous smuggler, Stanton Collins, now home to good beer, great food and a warm and cosy vibe. Built in 1358, The Smugglers is a charming slice of old England. Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Alfristion, the Smugglers upon first inspection gives no clue to the untrained eye of the mischief and plotting that once creaked it floorboards. We invite you to smuggle yourself down, for just a beer, or if you like stay for a few nights.
