New Continental Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

8/10 Good

"This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this hotel. This time we booked a family room with a bed settee, which was situated on the Plymouth Pavillions side of the hotel, which was a lot quieter than the road at the front of the hotel (we don’t have a main road where we live, so not used to the traffic noise) . It was nice to have air conditioning in our room this time, although the unit could have done with a service, to make it more efficient. Staff were cheerful and helpful as ever, and even managed to get us an early check in. We will be back :)"

St. Mellion Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Always a comfortable stay and views across the golf course are scenic. For us visiting families , it's an ideal position. The bar is quite boisterous at times with large groups of golfers meeting up before and after tournaments, but of course it is a busy golf centre. The facilities at the health spa are excellent swimming pools and changing facilities are spacious."

Future Inn Plymouth

10/10 Excellent

"Always an excellent nights sleep for a young family. It’s clean, well maintained (including air con), has welcoming helpful staff (all areas), ample parking, local shops & such quiet sound proofed rooms (even with the 1980s rave the floor below). My child slept & wasn’t woken up by daylight, noise, the stifling heat or worries about cleanliness. Plus they could have a bath. Win."

Moxy Plymouth

10/10 Excellent

"Nice modern, quirky hotel in great location for City Centre, Hoe and Barbican. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bar area, that is also for check-in, has some really good seating areas for work or chilling. Room was great - very clean, comfy bed and good shower. On-site parking was easy, although it is £10 a day. It was a perfect stay for our needs."

Harbour Beach Club & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Sumptuous beds a mile high with pillow soft toppers and silken sheets. Staff lovely, restaurant nice. Had rear room so no sea view but still nice open field to caravan site and balcony a 6pm sun trap, perfect for a pre dinner read. The extras the hotel offer make it fabulous; a room to store paddle board, lending you wetsuits, beach and picnic stuff etc. Car park busy (July) but nice chaps managing to help everyone. South Sands in front of you, rather challenging hill to next door North Sands beach both on foot and driving the single track road. Parking in Salcombe the stuff of nightmares so lean into hotel shuttle but book more than a day ahead for evening restaurant jaunts as only 6 seats each hour. (Think they should increase frequency when over booked). Sea tractor/ferry to Salcombe lovely but £18 each way for family of 4. Would choose again."
