Lovely guest house

A really lovely guesthouse, very clean, comfy beds. We stayed in the family triple room, very good size, and it was nice the beds were not close together.
Size of bathroom good and, again very clean. Spare toiletries and coffee bits in downstairs hallway which was a nice touch. Helpful information book in room.
Brilliantly positioned very near waterfront. 20 minute walk to Barbican. I used the Grand Parade car park which is a minutes walk from the guest house and a very reasonable price. Looks a bit dodgy but has cameras and plenty of cars parked there overnight! If you wanted to use a parking permit offered by guest house there seemed to be plenty on on road parking too.
The negative for me was that our room was at the front and it was warm so had windows open. At night every driver in Plymouth seems to be a boy racer and the noise of the cars kept me awake, I live in the country so not used to the noise anyway, it didn’t bother my mum at all! It’s a side road but seems quite well used as a way off the Hoe as at the end of one way route.
Positives about the lovely big sash windows was lots of light and could see the birds in the tree outside very close up.
Very good communication from Carla the owner, very straightforward self check in. Very reasonable price.

Let’s start with Perfect! Spotless clean, modern, all the obvious facilities, well presented, quiet and only 30 second walk to the seafront and great places to eat or just walk. Cannot make any negative comments whatsoever and half the price of the Premier Inn. Will definitely be back and already recommended to 2 colleagues.

This is a no frills price right next to the sea front and the Hoe is just round the corner, so for the price it is very good value. We had the ground floor room at the front of the property and thought it may be noisy but it wasn't at all.
Self check in was easy and although there was very little interaction with the host, emails and messages were super quick and informative. We were lucky to park just 25 meters from the front door and were given a card for an additional £5 by the host which worked just fine. Definitely an option for further visits on a budget.

A wonderful guest house right be the seafront. Minutes from restaurants and close to the centre of town for shopping. Lovely room, and lovely freshly prepared breakfast. Only disappointment was the shower, which is electric and not very powerful, but this was a minor thing compared to everything else. which was wonderful!

Enjoyable stay

This is a lovely guest house in a lovely location close to the sea front. I stayed for two nights in the family suite on the second floor comprising a double ensuite bedroom with kitchen facilities and a twin room with separate toilet. The decor was pleasant and the bed and rooom comfortable. The breakfast menu was both varied and good quality.
My dogs and I received a warm welcome and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
On a negative note I was charged £10 per night per dog so £40 in total which I feel is excessive.

Well located for the Hoe and central Plymouth, this very smartly decorated and immaculately clean guest house felt like a treat! The breakfast was very good indeed. We arrived well after the official last check in time, but our host was very accommodating and made sure we could get in. She also looked after our bags during the day while we explored the town after checkout. We will definitely stay here next time we come through Plymouth.

Outstanding B and B by the Waterfront in Plymouth

We selected the \"4 poster\" bedroom which was wonderful with in-room coffee to help us wake up and a newly remodeled bath. The rooms were clean and had plenty of room with a nice hang up closet. The waterfront pub and Chinese restaurants were only about a block away on the water and the parking behind the guest house was another plus. The full English breakfasts were served to order and wonderful preparation for a day's worth of sightseeing. Carla oversaw everything and made sure all was in order - a 5.0 operation for sure. We will stay again and recommend to all our friends.

Close to central attractions, quiet street

My husband and I stayed for one night when we visited Plymouth for the weekend in March. We received an e-mail from the hostess asking when we needed to check in, and were greeted by Carla on arrival who was friendly and helpful. The room was a ground floor double room with small ensuite. The bed was comfortable and there was a good breakfast, with plenty of choice and very nicely poached eggs. There was a good information pack in the room and the free wi-fi was reliable and worked well. Personally, I am not keen on ground floor rooms - so we would have preferred a room on one of the other floors. Our room was a bit dark because it was at the back of the house, and looked out onto the conservatory. However, we did book a bit late, so there was less availability. When we arrived the room was set up for one person, however, Carla quickly responded and added a towel and tea-making facilities for two.

One night in Plymouth

The Edgcumbe Guest House was a perfect bed and breakfast. Carla was a wonderful hostess! We are a family with 2 kids and Carla was kind enough to provide us with top floor all to ourselves. We had a separate room with a bathroom for the kids and my husband and I had our own room and ensuite as well. All for the price of one room! It was fantastic!! As an added bonus, the ocean was less than a 2 minute walk away. In the morning, we had a delicious traditional English breakfast - very well done! You could tell that this b & b has a lot of repeat customers as they all seemed to know Carla by name!
