  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.

  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!

  We had a lovely week despite a lot of rain.

  The owners were very welcoming helping us carry the luggage in and showing us round. They were always on hand in case we needed anything. The flat was very clean, comfortable, roomy and with lots of storage space. Great shower. Plenty of kitchen basics included plus fresh bread, butter, milk and home-made marmalade. Also flowers. Didn’t need the car as everything within walking distance or used the frequent buses, Lots to see in Plymouth including the huge National Aquarium, Box museum, the Hoe of course and the Barbican. Good for shopping too

  This accomodation was absolutely on it!

  The decor, quality of furnishings, style, cleanliness and provision of all the necessities, as well as quite a few extras and treats exceeded expectations in all areas. We could not have been happier. Shelagh and John were excellent hosts, there and available if you wanted anything but unobtrusive if you didn’t. We had the best stay in any property that I can remember for a long long time. Put Drake’s Retreat, and Shelagh and John at the top of your charts!! Geoff & Jean.

  Drakes retreat is a lovely apartment , it has everything you need, even tho it’s a one bed apartment it is very spacious very comfy and cose, John & Shelagh are great hosts ,the one thing I will say is with it being a basement apartment there are a few steep steps to walk down so if you are on the older end you have to be steady on you legs ,but other than that we had a great week ,would highly recommend ,
