Head up the staircase to find the first of the bedrooms, home to a king-size with a TV and a Juliet balcony so you can admire the scenery as soon as you wake up, whilst the second bedroom boasts a single bed. Once you have tucked into breakfast alfresco on your private, enclosed terrace, gather your things and begin exploring the lovely area of Hooe, with a short stroll bringing you to one of the local pubs, and the nearest convenience store. Wander over to Mount Batten to enjoy views over to Plymouth from Mount Batten Tower, stopping in a café by the waterside to admire the various boats and watersporting activities going on, with Mount Batten Watersports and Activities Centre offering stand-up paddle-boarding and kayaking sessions!

Beautiful view. Ideal Location. Everything you need for a perfect holiday. Pity there was no dryer on washing machine. A clothes airer would have been handy. The bathroom was very tight, especially the wash basin. Needs a slightly bigger one. Thes cupboard over the basin needs removing, as you can't brush your teeth. There is no room to put your head over basin. The shower was perfect. Otherwise the cottage was perfect, with very tasteful, quality furniture.
