For the money they charge this place should be avoided. Booked here because we wanted something a bit more homely than the local premier inn and were willing to pay a bit more. Three words: not worth it. For £120 for 2 nights you get: a double bed which is 2 singles of different heights pushed together, holes in the... More

We booked a room for the night but had to cancel due to a hospital appointment. Although we gave many weeks notice of the cancellation in line with the booking terms on the website we were not refunded any money. Weeks and weeks of poor excuses and lies have led to no refund or apology, even the threat of legal... More

Not very impressive. Pokey, not v clean. Blown lightbulb in bedside light. Empty soap dispenser in shared bathroom. Stale smoke smell. Mattress springs made themselves known. Friendly staff though. More

I found the Web Site to be much better than reality. While the bedroom was clean and tidy and had everything that was promised,it was very basic. The breakfast was,as stated, a full English, although a little small compared to other places that we have stayed in. One big disappointment was the dinning room, it was rather cold and uncomfortable,... More

My partner and I have recently stayed in this guest house and have to say that it has got to be the worst place we have ever stayed. As soon as you walk in through the front door there is a pungent smell of cigarette smoke. It is a non-smoking guest house, however, it is not the guests that you... More

I fully reccomend this guest house, perfect location close to the Hoe and town centre. I traveled by car and parking was available directly outside the premises for a £2 charge. The rooms are basic but very good value, quiet and with plenty of free tea/coffee, clean towels and bedding etc. I was attending HMS Raleigh for my sons Passing... More

I travel... More

I have to say we booked only purly because it was the one b&b which we could stay in one room as 4 adults ( at the time when we were looking for any accommodation in Plymouth). We did enjoy it but dont expect much to go there. It s a bit old fashioned and damp place however it s... More

Very dissapointed. Booked this after our previous excellent B&B has shut down. Was taking our daughter back to university after her Easter break. Thought we would stay a couple of nights and enjoy the jazz. The location was great, but not impressed. The entrance smelt of smoke, despite being a non smoking establishment. The room was very cramped, only one... More
