Likely coming from the prior two Guest Houses we stayed in on this trip may have tainted my review here as our taste for Guest House accomodations as evolved. In hindsight, we would have likely been content with the nearby Holiday Inn. LOCATION: This is a lovely location with an easy walk to restaurants, the Mayflower Steps, and The Hoe.... More

On reading this review we find it unfair to say the least.Also these guests have no consideration for others with regards to the toilet flushing.Most normal guests would find it annoying if a toilet flush was pulled in the middle of the night. We may add they only stayed for ONE NIGHT! The first point "how to get to the... More

I've never stayed in such a clean hotel with so much going for it, great hosts, fantastic breakfast and in spitting distance of most things worth seeing in Plymouth, give it a chance, you won't regret it! Thanks for a great stay!

We like to make our Armed Forces personnel feel at home when they are away from their own homes for a length of time. We like to provide a comfortable room to assist their training requirements plus providing a freshly cooked breakfast to start their day. Through being in an excellent location our guests can stroll on to Plymouth Hoe... More

Friendly, clean and a pleasant atmosphere, the rooms are spotless and cleaned daily. The breakfast is really good, I couldn't find a single issue. The couple who run the Caledonia are so friendly and helpful, I would recommend to anyone. The location is also perfect walking distance to all I wanted to see. Top marks from me..

The location is great for visiting The Hoe, The Barbican and the city centre. Breakfast was beautiful, particularly the omelette which was cooked to perfection,... More
