A great location by the Barbican and within easy access to Plymouth Hoe.|The accommodation is very quaint with a seaside theme, very clean, plenty of tea and coffee. My one critique is that towels were thin and have seen better days. …

Great place to stay. Spotless room, great hosts with a fountain of local knowledge and recommendations. The hotel itself is lovely has a great feel to it. On site parking is handy and off the main road which is ideal!... Would absolutely stay again! Thank you both for a nice break away, you made us both feel very welcome!

A return visit and can honestly say the Island Lodge is still a little gem. The owners couldn't be more welcoming. The rooms are beautiful and have lovely little touches.I can only describe the cleanliness as outstanding.In my line of employment I work away from home frequently and can honestly say this is the cleanest Guest House/Hotel I've ever stayed in!I would strongly recommend this little find in a great part of Plymouth with a superb pub down the road.

In a great location very close to the delights of the Barbican and Hoe, this is a charming and quirky hotel with all you need for a short stay. The friendly owner moved a car to let us into the secluded car park at the rear. …

Great location for our needs, family run, all were really accommodating. Rooms were clean and well equipped with some top notch security features for safety. Loved chilling on the guest house balcony. New owners have done an amazing job with even more plans to improve. Parking is a bonus! See you again

Cosy, clean, convenient spot to spend a night or two. I had a single room which was compact but very comfy. The bed and bedding were very soft and relaxing. The decoration interesting and smart. The welcome was warm.The shower was very nice, though it could do with a small shelf inside to hold toiletries. The sink was tiny. You can't fit the kettle in it and it was a squeeze just to clean my teeth.Parking was hard to find but very useful

Host was very nice and helpful. Location is brilliant for walking down to the Barbican. Parking is a bit awkward and can fill up, so just have a backup plan in case. Rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. My only complaint is a bed was quite hard and uncomfortable.
