A very cozy hotel in a picturesque little town. The hotel was in a very new and freshly renovated condition. The room was very clean and the box spring bed was very comfortable. The owners put a lot of thought into the room equipment, we had almost everything you could ask for: Bathrobes, shampoo, shower gel and hand cream, fresh milk in the fridge as well as a selection of different teas and coffee, cereals, dishes and cutlery, smart TV with internet. There was a very amazing breakfast which was brought directly to our room. Highly recommended!

A recently renovated property, Station House Plymouth is situated in Plymouth near Cathedral Church of St Mary and St Boniface, Plymouth Pavilions and Plymouth Hoe. The property is around 2.7 km from Devil's Point Beach, 7.7 km from Marsh Mills and 23 km from Port Eliot Gardens. The guest house has family rooms.

Amazing room, equipped with everything needed and very comfortable and modern, and very big bathroom. Couldn't find my access code details (probably got mixed up and deleted an email that I shouldn't have!) and within a couple minutes of calling it was checked and info sent to me, really excellent service. Has self check in/out which is really handy (when you haven't misplaced your code details like I did!) Location is very close to the train station (it was hard for me to find the hotel from elsewhere as don't know the area at all) I personally would go with a place closer to a simple bus route and closer to more shops etc, just personal preference though. It was very quiet, so if that's your preference would certainly recommend. Also a very nice traditional kind of building, which you just don't get with general chain hotels.

At the guest house, units come with a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The guest house offers some units with quiet street views, and every unit includes a kettle. Additional in-room amenities include chocolates or cookies.

Beautifully presented room. Tea making equipment was spotless as was the bedroom and bathroom. Quiet location but still within walking distance of everything you need to visit. Easy entry system and great contact on first arrival. If I ever need accommodation in Plymouth again I'll try and book here. Great stay from Paul and Finley.

    Could park outside accommodation with parking permit for free parking. Fantastic location for city centre and Barbican waterfront also close to theatre. Quiet area and felt safe at night. Perfect for a dog with a small yard by front door and back door. Hosts super helpful. Had Netflix etc. Interestingly decorated & furnished, not boring basic accommodation We will definitely return in the future.

    Marc was very accommodating, friendly and always happy to help, nothing was ever too much trouble. Also, he stocked up on breakfast bits which was very kind of him, he was great host! This is a great location, only a 25 minute walk to Plymouth City Centre. It says free parking; there is in a parking bay between a certain time where you can park for free but if you are going to be out and about like we was you are best to park around the corner which is a 5 min walk away, prices are not bad (we payed £26 for 4 nights).

    The Hosts Rob and Sue were very welcoming. Had good recommendations for the local area. The breakfast was tasty and good quality ingredients. Could have as much or as little as you would like. The guest house is situated in a great location. In easy walking distance of the Barbican and the Hoe. The main city centre is also quite close.
