We spent a wonderful time at the Barbican Reach. Sue and Rob are very friendly and courteous hosts. As a breakfast they'll serve you a traditional navy toast - called a raft. Where else could you enjoy that?! We highly recommend the B&B and send greetings to our hosts. Carole & Moritz

Great location just up a cobbled street from the main quayside. Very friendly welcome to our room overlooking the front street which was very quiet. Clean and tidy and comfy. Good breakfast to send us on our way in the morning. Kindly looked after our bags for a few hours while we wandered round Plymouth during the day. Thank you

Have been here a few times now. Because it is just the best around Plymouth.|Very short walk to the Barbican and Hoe. Very clean, comfortable and the breakfasts are just perfectly cooked.||The parking is on street and we have never had a problem with space. Best to book directly with this B&B and the parking is sorted for you.
