  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!

  Seascape apartment is a lovely place. The views from the room over Porthminster beach are amazing. We stayed for 7 nights, spending much of the time out on walks, eating out and enjoying the sights and sounds which is all just a 5 min walk from your door step. The only down side with stopping at Seascapes in our view are the follow. I’m 6”3” and several of the flats door frames are really low and they tend to catch you out. The beds weren’t the comfiest I would have to be honest but were still as you would expect very clean. The Living Room, Kitchen and Bathroom we found to be lovely, well equipped and comfortable, although some people may struggle with the very steep staircase leading up to the room. When we stayed it was very hot and at night and the windows had to be open and the noise from the road outside is terrible and makes it hard to sleep (Not Seascapes fault) Parking is a nightmare all over St Ives but if you don’t plan on driving once you get there the Station car park can be utilised, although spaces are very rare even if you pre book, but become free at night. The Rugby club does parking but this is a good 20+ min walk away up a very steep hill.

  Such a lovely apartment, with excellent views and a brilliant position, very close to buses, trains and shops.

  Only one very small negative, which I was surprised about. The info stated that 'towels and bedding are supplied' and I've never stayed anywhere which said that but didn't include the kitchen items!! Therefore I did not take a kitchen towel, a dishcloth or a teatowel, and none of that was provided, which was extremely awkward. It surprised me even more because it seemed everything else had been thought of - they are provided milk, biscuits, condiments, teabags, sugar, washing-up liquid etc - all extremely welcome. The apartment was an absolute pleasure to be in, and a small food store and various pasty shops, etc were within a few metres from the apartment. There were even plenty of coathangers, a coat rack, a torch (should there be a power cut), books, dvds, ...... Would I stay there again? Absolutely! Beautiful apartment! Thank you.

  Great location and beautifully furnished property. Stunning beach views of Porthminster and short walk to the beach which was exactly what we wanted for our holiday. This is a wonderful location with beach nearly on the doorstep and a short walk to shops and restaurants. The owners have lovingly furnished the property and have gone above and beyond to make it comfortable. The welcome pack was excellent and our dog loved the extra pampering and treats. Does not have parking but we used the station parking. Again its just down the road and we could see our car all through the week from our window although it was very busy being so close to the beach. The owners were very prompt with fulfilling our request for a extra fan as we were lucky to be there on the hottest week in July. All in all a great stay and would happily come back.

  The apartment as usual was really good clean tidy and everything we needed for a wonderful holiday .

  Which we enjoyed very much The only downside was the very scruffy and dirty downstairs hall , it was full of rubble rubbish and dirt that we had to walk by ever time entering and leaving the building.near the front door ,it looked like a new entrance was being made and sawdust and litter was left to stride over.,This was being walked up the stairs but someone had tried to clean it up without moving the mess. We were there 10 days and we saw no workers working on what looked like a renovation of this ground floor flat, this mess and rubble should have been contained inside the flat keeping the hall clean and tidy for all other occupants using the building.i think this situation should be complained about by the flat owners not a good look when entering this doorways.
