  Being honest, Plymouth wasn't on our to do list.

  Having visited the south west many times previously, Plymouth was a place sign posted off the M5. However a week later I'm so glad we decided to visit. Royal William Yard is a lovely peaceful location. Previously a naval establishment from the 1800s, the old naval buildings are now converted into luxury apartments and a few restaurants. Prior to arrival, communication from the owner was good. On arrival day, we spoke with the housekeeper (nice lady) who met us at the apartment building and showed us our allocated parking space; plus helped with any information we required. The apartment itself is within one of the converted naval buildings and is very well put together, with just about everything we needed for our stay. We were provided with milk, coffee, tea etc plus some miniature Plymouth gin and tonics. Nice touches! The apartment (on two floors) is well decorated and appointed and was spotlessly clean. The view from the lounge window over the water was great, we spent ages just watching the various craft going past, with views towards Cremyll. Royal William Yard itself was lovely. The restaurants were good and sitting on the green in the sun was very relaxing. There is plenty to see within RWY with information displayed detailing the history of the place. We spent a number of evenings just walking around RWY plus sitting at restaurants on the waterfront. In addition there are benches outside the apartment where you can sit and watch the harbour. Access to Dartmoor and various beaches was easy. Another great day out was to use the Cremyll ferry which sets off nearby and then spend a few hours walking around the Mount Edgcumbe House and country park just across the bay. So a week later, would we visit Plymouth again - definitely. Would we visit this apartment again - most definitely!

  Lovely historic property, very clean & amazing views.

  However the quiet was spoilt by building work starting at 8am (except weekends),as the building opposite is currently being converted into apartments. We were handed keys on arrival & told there is no easy way to get up to the apartment, just go up the very steep metal stairs and walk back the length of the building to the apartment. There are internal fire escape stairs with a return, which was slightly easier. Inside the flat the stairs were also very deep & steep, this was quite challenging for one of our party. It was a lovely place, and would love to stay here again, but for our party we would choose a different property in one of the other buildings that has a lift.

  We enjoyed our stay at 41 Clarence, the location of the apartment was lovely and the contact we had with the owner prior to our stay was very caring.

  There were however a few niggles with the apartment. As it is at the top of the building there were limited ceilings which was understandable due the type of building but meant that any sound carried throughout the apartment which was awkward at times. Some of the equipment seemed tired. The television did not have an aerial and only gave access to 'catch-up' programs. The coffee machine used capsules which we could not find and was controlled by a mobile phone app which of course we did not have. A coffee table in the seating area would have been helpful. Despite these niggles 41 Clarence was a comfortable place to stay.

  I was losing confidence in Sykes but this property is fantastic and back to the high standards we’d come to expect.

  The listing was very accurate and everything was clean and usable. We loved being in this converted building which has retained a lot of its original character but with a very new & modern twist inside the apartment. It also overlooks the water and the views are amazing. The area of Royal William Yard is great with many restaurants and bars, you can even get ferries across to the Barbican or all the way to Cawsands/Kingsands (good day out). Communication with owners/argents was very easy and always friendly, would definitely like to stay here again.

  We had a lovely week at the apartment over Christmas, our reason for the stay was to spend Christmas with elderly relatives who live in Plymouth and we had been looking at various apartments in the Royal William Yard over the last couple of years.

  The apartment was immaculate, clean with all required kitchen appliances. It was lovely to have some essentials for us to use when we arrived. Loved the view from the living area window, we took many photos and I could have sat there all day. Thank you for the Christmas tree it was beautiful. Danielle met us outside the apartment and did tell us the external door lock was a bit temperamental when locking, it didn’t affect our week but you may need to get it looked at.
