    Nothing. It was excellent! I didn’t meet any staff during my stay but the communication in advance on how to access the room were clear and useful

    Really comfortable bed in well-appointed room with great en-suite. Located practically within spitting distance of the seafront in West Hoe, a quiet, pretty part of Plymouth. On-street parking was available almost opposite the guest house which although chargeable (£10 overnight) was at least convenient. The wonders of the Barbican (most importantly Cap’n Jaspers and The Dolphin!) are only about a 15 minute stroll away

    Nothing, great little place to stay

    Very comfortable room by the Hoe, ideal location for staying in Plymouth. The host is very friendly and helped us sort out parking for the weekend despite us only staying for one night. Fresh en suite bathroom with soaps, comfy room with plenty of storage, kettle and tea/coffee in the room. On street parking passes available to purchase from the host, £7 for 24h permit which expires at 10am the next day.

    everything was good

    I regularly stay in hotels for work and pleasure in UK and Germany. Edgecumbe Guest House in Plymouth has provided the best room I have stayed in for many years... At a very reasonable price. The room is large and modern with the most beautiful bathroom. .. friendly owners have created a system that works. Food is not available, but not a problem, with many many restaurants a few yards away on the sea-front. The bed is comfortable and sunshine flooded into the room through dual aspect windows when we arrived. The thick curtains prevented unwanted light later in the night. It was warm on a very cold day. Easy to find. Responsive owners when questions were asked about parking (We parked opposite on the street.. easy unpacking distance.) We had a wonderful anniversary visit which included a theatre trip, also within walking distance. We hope to return soon. Suitable for leisure or business. Thank you for your excellent hospitality. We enjoyed our stay very much.

    It was bit unclear about the breakfast arrangements. One email I had said breakfast was £10 pp, then another said it was £15 pp for a tray to our room. If didn't matter for us as we had other plans, but was just a point to mention.

    Warm and comfy. There was lots of tea and coffee which was excellent - no skimping!

    The location was incredible - steps away from the waterfront and easily walkable to the Hoe, the Barbican, city center, and the university campus. There was clear communication about COVID precautions and expectations. Carla was quick to respond to all queries and was friendly and welcoming! Such a positive experience and I would absolutely stay again.

    The male host's hateful attitude. He needs to stay away from people. The female seemed nice enough, although I only saw her for about five minutes.

    I didn’t mind that this place was designed to be totally self-service, even though the hosts are just upstairs on the 1st floor. I didn’t appreciate the male host opening the door and sarcastically mocking me for taking more than ten seconds to find the lock box. The man should not be around other humans. They will send an email with instructions. Make sure you study them before you arrive to avoid the man mocking you. I happened to have other things to think about before my arrival.
