“The BEST”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

Friends in Plymouth recommended we stay here whilst visiting them in September. What a wonderful place. Exceptionally clean, very friendly, quiet stay, just the best bed & breakfast ever. The owner, Tom, was a gem, and we thoroughly enjoyed talking to him after breakfast. They provide a full English breakfast, which looked exceptional, but friends kept us eating and drinking so that we weren't hungry for breakfast. I can say that the coffee was the best I've ever had - even better than Starbucks or Cafe Nero. The location was excellent, the hospitality exceptional, and the stay was perfect. i cannot recommend this enough, I loved it!

Room Tip: I don't think there is a bad room

“THE place to stay in Plymouth”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

Excellent service and a very friendly welcome from Tom. Beautifully appointed rooms throughout hotel. Spacious bedroom with very comfortable beds, and nice touches - hot chocolate as well as tea and coffee; shower gel and shampoo in bathroom. Delicious breakfast menu, with a choice of more than just "a full English" with again nice touches- seeds and raisins to add to variety of fruit, as well as a choice of yoghurts, cereals and croissants. Lovely conservatory off breakfast room. Excellent position on The Hoe and easy walk to the city centre and all attractions - Smeaton's tower, the Barbican and the sea. Lots of interest to see and do in Plymouth - we wished we had had more time.
