You'll find this contemporary apartment mere moments from Plymouth Hoe. As far as locations go, you can't beat it – the famous lighthouse, Plymouth Sound, and the shops and eateries in the historic Barbican district are all an easy walk away. Back home, you'll love the sweeping views from the living area's arched windows. All the necessities for a relaxing stay are provided, including daily housekeeping. Two guests will sleep on the mezzanine above the living area, with two more in the snug second bedroom. But with all Plymouth has to offer on your doorstep, we think you'll spend most of your time exploring.
