Beautiful view from apartment, loads of stuff to do and food places around the corner. Overall we had an amazing time only let down the food wasn’t great. 😊
Had a very comfortable stay and the location was excellent for getting around Plymouth without having to drive. The local facilities were excellent especially enjoyed sampling the beer at Steel Brew Co not often you have a brewery under your bedroom!
Great property with some character features.
Clean and comfortable and within easy distance of Plymouth city centre and the Hoe.
Lovely views over the marina.

Great Location, average accommodation
Overall a nice location. In comparison, very late check-in and early checkout.
Mills bakery apartment , was to a very high standard , was very clean and had everything we needed, royal
William yard is a lovely complex with lots of history
A great little flat with everything you need in an excellent location. Great service and communication from Plumb Locations and easy check in. Beats hotels hands down with all your own facilities and a selection of bars and eateries on site.
Had everything we could wish for
Would recommend and come back.
If we could have anything different-
Check out time felt too early/rushed
Sofa bed mattress not overly unpleasant but could feel the springs
It was an expensive stay considering that I'd already paid £91.25 and then to be told that i needed to pay a £60.00 service charge. This was not clear and the time of booking, so was suprised to get hit with a service charge - not quite sure what service i got. The room was very hot, small and lots of noise outside. I will not be staying again.
This is the wonderful holiday with my family. Everyone is enjoy and relax in this lovely comfort accommodation. My children love it so much.. much to do in the area. Although just a short trip, but would like to go back again and book the same accommodation!
A really nice apartment and in a great location, will definitely return!

Watch out for ADDITIONAL costs
Very disappointed. I've used Hotels.com for year and this was the first time I was hit with an additional charge - and for £65 for cleaning! I'd already paid £115 for the apartment. The apartment is in a great location but was small and only one bedroom and the total cost being £180 for one night is ridiculous even for this time of year. There are much larger apartments available in the same complex for less money. To make matters more laughable the apartment was not even that clean, despite the high cleaning charges.
When I called the owner/manager of the apartment to complain that this cleaning charge is not clearly explained on the Hotels.com page they had a 'could not careless attitude' which further let down the whole experience.
In summary the apartment is nice, location fantastic, but pricing is misleading and the total cost is very uncompetitive. Much better out there for less. Be wary of the Cleaning Costs and be wary of Plum Properties whom manage it
