Nice staff, small but practical rooms. No breakfast but good advice on where to get one. 10mi s walk from central bus stop, 20mins bus+walk from train station. Nice to discover Plymouth waterfront and Barbican, which are beautiful spots!

Had to to leave a hotel due to owners illness and Jeff was very accommodating and very helpful in putting me in a room on second floor because I have a broken knee and was on crutches. The room was lovely and clean as was on suite and the bedding was lovely crisp sheets and very comfy beds in deed. Little private car park at the rear was a bonus. I will 100% stay here again as I visit Plymouth twice a year. Thanks for all your help. I wish all guest house hosts were as good x

My family have just stayed at this guest house for one night to attend the graduation ceremony. We booked 4 rooms and they were all lovely. The beds and bedding were comfy and it was just right. …

The location was super - the shops, Hoe, University and Barbican are an easy walk away. We found the owners to be friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and was cooked beautifully. Our room was spotlessly clean and the amount of tea/coffee which was supplied in the room was very generous. We will definitely return!

After staying in a different hotel/guest- house for 14 days this was my favourite place!The hosts were absolutely lovely, welcomed us in and carried my suitcase to the very top floor. The bedrooms were beautifully clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable with crisp sheets. The shared bathroom was immaculate with spare toiletries and towels.Location is amazing, with ten minute walk to the Barbican and even shorter walk to the coast where we swam. The harbour and aquarium is also a short walk away!I highly recommend this guest house, you won’t be disappointed!

I have stayed at the Caledonian a couple of times in the past and always try to book there when I am visiting the area. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the breakfast which is prepared freshly for you is beautiful. …
