Guests say
Sea Cottage in Plymouth offers stunning views and a peaceful location, ideal for exploring Devon and enjoying the coastal path. Guests appreciate the warm welcome from the owner, Lorna, and the well-equipped kitchen. While some guests encountered issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the majority had a delightful stay, enjoying the local pub and the convenience of a nearby ferry to Plymouth.
Mixed feedback on cleanliness, with some guests finding the property below expectations, necessitating cleaning upon arrival, while others did not report such issues. The presence of cobwebs and dust was noted.
The location is highly praised for its exceptional views, proximity to the sea, and easy access to Plymouth via ferry. It is also noted as a peaceful spot for a quiet break and coastal walks.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere. However, some noted the furniture appeared tired and the mattress lacked support.
The well-equipped kitchen was a highlight, but there were several reports of maintenance issues such as broken appliances and a lack of hot water. Furniture and decor were considered outdated by some.
While the owner's hospitality is frequently mentioned, there are no specific references to gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.

Sea Cottage is a one-bedroom, detached holiday home located in an exceptional coastal position commanding panoramic views of Cawsands Bay, Plymouth Sound, The Breakwater and The English Channel. The property has the rare attraction of a totally unobstructed sea, estuary and coastal view, which is ever changing with fishing boats, yachts, tankers, ferries and battleships passing by.
At the right time and tide, you can watch the surfers riding the waves just below the cottage. The sunsets are spectacular and, in the evening, the lights from Cornwall twinkle across the sea with something to look at every moment of the day or night. The aspect directly over the Breakwater is extraordinary and there can hardly be a more engaging aspect in the South West! Set high above sea level, it is the elevation of the property that provides it with such a breath-taking outlook which extends to Plymouth Sound, Rame Head, Cawsands, Kingsands, the Tamar Estuary, Drakes Island and the beginning of the Hoe. There is a footpath from the property to both Bovisand beaches and the South West Coast Path.
Sea Cottage is a 70’s-style bungalow which feels cosy and homely. The bedroom has a double bed, large wardrobes and beautiful sea views. The large, sea facing living area is spread across three spaces, the kitchen and bathroom are well fitted, and the front garden is beautifully stocked with various plants and shrubs. Evenings can be enjoyed sharing a glass of wine on the patio area overlooking the garden and sea views.
Sea Cottage is well situated to visit Dartmoor, Salcombe and Dartmouth, or westwards to Cornwall and the unspoilt coast of Rame Head and Whitsands. This is the very westernmost portion of the South Hams, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With beautiful surroundings, this is the perfect choice for a truly memorable holiday. Any guests arriving by train can arrange transport with the owner prior to arrival to get from the station to the property.

Had an amazing week at this lovely property. The owner, Lorna was so friendly and welcoming on arrival and checked in on us mid week as there was a storm forecast - very thoughtful.The weather was very changeable during our week there but we were gifted with rainbows every day and stunning views from this gorgeous property.We spent a wonderful few days exploring Devon - my highlight was Buckfast Abbey absolutely stunning.Look forward to another stay in the future as there is still so much we left unexplored!

The cottage was stunning, the view is exceptional and the cottage and the property were absolutely lovely. The right place for anybody who is looking for a place to spend some quite time close to the sea. The beach is in walking distance, as well as a pub.The owner was extremely helpful, nice and made this stay a real treat.

Was met by the lovely owner who showed us round.The cottage is exactly as you see on the photos, except the view is even more fantastic, watching Naval ships , and cruise ships sail in and out of Plymouth from the lounge was great as we didn't have brilliant weather. With the heating on mornings and evenings the cottage was nice and warm. Parking is good, and it is very quiet, with easy access to coastal path, and a very good pub in the village ,the mussel inn , which was excellent. All in all a good stay, thank you .
