What our customers say about their holidays

  I would highly recommend this property.

  We were given a warm welcome by the owners John and Shelagh and shown round the property and provided with many tips for trips out and local pubs and restaurants. A nice touch was the milk, bread, butter and homemade marmalade which was well received after our long journey from Yorkshire. It was also a bonus having private parking at the rear of the property. The property is very well situated for the Hoe, the Barbican and the City Centre all that can be easily walked to. There was a lot to keep us occupied in Plymouth as first time visitors and I would recommend downloading the Plymouth Trails App onto your mobile phone to help you find your way around.It is also a good base to travel over the border into Cornwall which we did on a couple of occasions to visit Looe and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

  The house was comfortable, but the floor was unclean and no bags for the bins.

  The bins outside were full and had not been correctly used by previous customers, so I took time to put items in correct bins for the recycling people. NO parking was available outside the property at all, which meant I had to park my car away from sight - it was broken into and damaged quite considerably, though nothing was stolen as the car had been emptied. This meant I needed to involve my insurance company, organise a hire car to get home and leave my car in Plymouth in order for it to be fixed, which killed my holiday really! Half of my holiday was spent sorting out the break in! problems with parking outside your property was not clear at all...I recommend not going by car, but go by train. Buses are amazing for this area though.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Drakes Retreat.

  Beds and sofas and chairs are all exceptionally comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped, and everything was extremely clean and in good condition. The flat is a very short walk from Plymouth Hoe. There was an excellent box of local informtion, and John and Shelagh could not have been more friendly and helpful with everything, taking in our supermarket order, helping us unload, advice on exploring the area. Plymouth is a really interesting city with a fascinating history surrounded by beautiful countryside. My only reservation about praising the lovely holiday we had at Drake's Retreat as much as it deserves is that they will then be so fully booked that we will be unable to return and we'd love to!

  He property at Tidal Waters is in a stunning location at the head of the creek, and just around the water from the delightful Ship Inn.

  The house is very well designed, with the main living room and kitchen on the first floor, with its balcony overlooking (and at times overhanging) the water, making it an ideal spot for watching boats being launched and cars being rescued from the incoming tide. The whole house is very well appointed with all mod cons and is extremely comfortable, and well maintained. As we discovered, however, it is not always possible to leave vehicles on the property, as exceptionally high tides (spring tides combined with high winds) make this a hazardous policy. There is, however, plenty of alternative parking nearby. We also found the local community to be very friendly and welcoming.

  Wonderful house in a perfect location.

  The house and bedrooms were perfect for our extended family of 11 people and could easily have swallowed a few more. The location is very picturesque in the heart of Noss Mayo - and with the Ship and the Swan pubs each a 2 minute walk away there was no shortage of entertainment. The South Hams is a beautiful location and we were blessed with the week of sunshine. Easy access to the beaches at Mothecombe and Stoke, as well as swimming at Cellar Bay. There's parking for 3 small cars at the front of the house. (Would stick to smaller vehicles given the size of the lanes that one needs to navigate in that area). Contact with the letting agent was pretty seamless. 10/10.
