This is the 2nd time I have stayed at this guest house in 6 months. It really is a great find. The rooms are excellent and spotlessly clean. The instructions for entry and exit are really clear and all communication is great. The location is really nice and very close to the seafront where you have plenty of choice for eating and drinking. We used this as a base to drop my daughter at the university. Hope to stay again!

We recently had an overnight stay and have visited before. This is certainly a guest house we would continue to use. Not only is the property close to the seafront but it is very clean, comfortable and great value. …

We stayed for 3 separate nights over the last week. Edgcumbe is in a great location near the Hoe with plenty of local food options, but really quiet. Comfortable room, and Carla was really helpful with looking after our bag between stays. Just what we needed.

Edgecumbe Guest House is in an ideal location close to the sea front. A lovely host always makes me feel welcome. Whenever I visit Plymouth I love to stay here because the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Having allergies, it is such a bonus doing room only option. I advise you to take up their car parking option it's much cheaper than paying via on street machine or parking app
