Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

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.

Home truths

    The super king-size bed is located on a mezzanine level, which overlooks the living area. It's not the most private, and headspace is limited as the ceilings are low.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host provides a travel cot and high chair upon request. You’ll need to bring your own cot linen.

    Daily housekeeping services are provided here.

    You'll have one allocated parking space here, though a car is optional, with many amenities within walking distance.

    Mobile phone signal can be patchy in South Devon – check with your provider for more details.

    Please note that the public areas of the apartment building have CCTV. There aren't any cameras in the actual apartment.
