Overnight stay with hubby for an event. Wendy is very welcoming & friendly. The room was comfortable & had everything we needed. Parking on the road is fine using RingGo app which we use whenever we visit Plymouth. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. I have given 4 stars purely because we had to wait for a good 10 mins in the rain to get in as no answer using doorbell & by phone as Wendy was chatting to other residents & didn't hear us

Friendly, homely b&b

Location is amazing near to the scenic Hoe and lively Barbican 20 mins away. Local pub nearby excellent but the B&B is a let down. Wendy the owner is friendly but a little too familiar and over sharing at times, the plus points are 1 . Location and 2.  excellent breakfast included in the price and 3. the shower was powerful.....

BUT oh dear the decor as soon as you walk in is tired, dated and needing a major revamp. The room was no better, the matress was very lumpy and seriously worn down needing replacing, the bed creeked with the slightest movement, the sad powder blue wood chip walls in the bedroom was depressing and wood chip paper is everywhere either peeling away or marked and just gloomy, the shower was dirty and mouldy, the toilet brush dirty with a pool of brown water in there, the dated nylon beige carpet complete with stains needs ripping up and the basement where breakfast was served was dingy too. The hallway was musty and we couldnt wait to leave. There are three tables to dine and we were lucky to have our own but you may have to sit around one big table seating 8 if the other two are taken. I like my privacy in the morning and this would put me off.  

I doubt this hotel has been deep cleaned or decorated for years. There is room for a budget stay and in such a great location this place could be a gold mine but cleanliness is key and there is no excuse for what we found here as this hotel was far from it.

Avoid dated,tired and needing a revamp.

Ideally located Bed&Breakfast only 20 minutes walk from city centre and very close to the seafront.

Really pleasant stay at the Old Pier House with a very welcoming host Wendy who made sure that we were comfortable from check-in to check-out.

Bedroom has good comfy mattress with little noise from the street for a good night sleep.

Bathroom has a good power shower with consistent hot water. 

Wifi is very quick with no disconnections.

Breakfast is a highlight as Wendy makes sure that toasts and delicious homemade coffee refills are abundant on top of a scrumptious full English breakfast.

Highly recommended stay.

Very welcoming Bed&Breakfast with a quiet confortable room

Stayed for two nights. Good for money. Clean comfy beds. We stayed in twin room with ensuite. Rear view but ok. Wendy the landlady was very welcoming NB and helpful. She can supply 24hr parking ticket for street. Very reasonable compared to parking meters. Breakfast was served downstairs around a very large round table. My husband and myself loved this. It gave us chance to talk to other guests and get to know them. Big choices for breakfast and it was all served and cooked by Wendy in the large kitchen next door. The house itself is easily within walking distance of The Hoe and Barbican and sea front. Would highly recommend.

Very Welcoming.

Wendy was such a wonderful host, it was like staying at a friends house! The breakfast was just wonderful and very filling. 
Location was right near the beach. It is a good 30min walk from the train station and about 20mins into town, but we like walking so this wasn't an issue. 
The room was a good size, clean and comfy bed. It's a quiet location and a nice little fish and chip shop just up the road.
Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Lovely stay!

Twice I have been here (last time was 2 years ago). Just as good as I remember.
I had booked a twin room which was all they had left at the time (I was going alone). Apparently the room had been double booked so I was switched to a room with a double bed! I didn't complain!
Pros:

- Very comfy bed
- Nice hot shower
- Fridge in the room
- Plugs are close to the bed so easy to charge your laptop while using it
- Nice and clean

Breakfast in the morning very nice, plenty of it too. 
I do have a couple of minor niggles. One is the Wifi kept dropping out during the day but worked better at night. Also the extractor fan comes on whenever you turn the bathroom light on, and stays on for a set time. This wouldnt normally bother me but in my room the fan was really loud and sounded squeaky, so if I used the bathroom in the night i'd have to not turn the light on, or suffer the noise for several minutes after. 

Minor issues though, would recommend this place to anyone. Close to the sea too.

Great B&B, Very nice landlady

Cheap and cheerful, comfortable, clean and a banging breakfast, thanks to Wendy the landlady very polite and helpful with all local knowledge, better stay than any Premier Inn or travel lodge. Would definitely stay there  again, and not far from the parade bars and restaurants. 

Sons passing out parade

I needed a cheap bed and that’s pretty much what I got. I paid £30 so it was just bearable for one night.

Owner doesn’t live on site, so delay in her arrival if you active out of hours (not too long though).

There was out of date long life milk in the room, a hard bed with a ‘thin mattress, with ‘oily’ sheets. The room I was in was really cold despite the heating being on. The cold breeze through the window frames I would guess. There were paper thin walls which meant I got to listen to someone’s TV and hear the toilet flush for she’s every time it was used.

I was even ‘lucky’ enough to get half a packet of crisps in the bedside drawer!!

Breakfast looked great but wasn’t actually totally cooked and was oozing in oil. And wasn’t what I’d asked for.

There was no toilet roll in the shared toilet. And no spare rolls to be seen.

Parking is paid - 24 hours a day.

On the up side, the street was quiet, there is a nice chippy a few doors down and the sea just the other way.

Not somewhere I’d want to come again though.


Not for me

A great location and convenient for Dartmoor and the beach walks in Cornwall. The guest house is basic but clean and comfortable. Hot showers and free WiFi. The owners are really friendly and the breakfast was a real treat!

A weekend break

I love this place. The manager/ owner was very welcoming. The nothing is too much trouble. It's on on the Hoe so its a minutes walk from the sea and a short walk into the city centre. The breakfast is great.  I had a full English and including cereal fruit juice and tea followed by coffee.  I met some nice people at breakfast who had a continental breakfast. The shower is really good which was welcome after a long walk by the sea.
