Detailed Reviews
Myself and my partner stayed here for 2 nights. The hosts were lovely and our room was well decorated and spotless. The location on the sea front and around 15min walk to the town. Due to covid breakfast was being served to the room. This was great and the food was delicious. Everything was fresh and local produce with fresh squeezed orange juice. You have to pay £5 per day for the parking permit this was the only down side aswell as not always being promised a space on the road. However it is on the sea front so to be expected. Bed was super comfortable and got great couple nights sleep. Would defiently stay again.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay here. We communicated before our visit via email with Jenny and agreed we would let her know what time we expected to arrive as we were travelling from the Isle of Wight. We were greeted in person by Jenny who was wonderfully welcoming, immediately helping us organise parking. She was so thorough with information regarding where to eat, where the nearest shops where, places to go with the children.
The room was spacious and clean, as was the entire property, the breakfasts that we ordered and were made each morning by Lee were absolutely delicious and my 8 year old was delighted by the freshly made apple juice each morning. We honestly felt like nothing was too much to ask for throughout our stay.
Jenny and Lee you are doing a wonderful job and really made our place to stay a welcoming and comfortable spot. Thank you so much!
We would 100% stay again on our next visit.

Sea breezes is exactly, that a gentle refreshing feel of calmness. Jenny and her husband work tirelessly and tremendously hard to ensure their guests have a pleasurable, tailored, rest. The breakfast options were uncompromisingly varied and tasted delicious, all of which was received after a long restful nights sleep. The cleanliness of the room and indeed throughout the guest house did not go unnoticed. We will return to Plymouth and will look forward to another stay at Sea Breezes.

When I came to review Sea Breezes, I was shocked to see it rated at 5 star. That was far from my experience.
Firstly, there was no proper welcome. We had to call a mobile to ask the owners to let us in.
When we were let in, the owner aggressively waved us into the breakfast area. It was dominated by a huge fish tank with three fish glumly swimming around. Decoré included glass dragons filled with some liquid or other. Neither the hall or the breakfast room had been hoovered recently.
You have to choose breakfast from an itemised checklist the evening before.
The bedroom was not tastefully decorated (obviously a matter of opinion) but table lamps with giraffes heads poking out was a bit odd.
On first night there was a very strong air freshener which was clearly covering a “catty” smell.
Bathroom: not particularly clean with a poor quality in-bath shower.
Breakfast was not great. Floor also hadn’t been cleaned, with food debris on it.
Positives: Sea Breezes is in a good location near the Hoe with sea views towards the left front.

The photos on line are obviously from the old ownership. New ownership has a much different aesthetic with cheap plastic mismatched tablecloths, messy, dusty knickknacks, dusty fake flowers, half used roll of toilet paper on the landing, spilled potting soil and dirt all over the small landing. Nice couple that tries hard but has no real idea about how to manage a property for guests. It's like staying in someones messy family home. The smell in the property is awful, the cleanliness needs to be greatly improved. If you are looking for the quaint British Inn experience, this is not it. Photos are old and have no relevance to what the main areas of the place look like now. Clock in the room didn't work, paint drips were all over the mirror, I could go on and on..... avoid. wifi was complicated and didn't work well... It actually was an expensive stay for what it was.

Please note the ownership of this once excellent B & B has changed. We arrived at the agreed time window to be left standing outside for 20 minutes. The owner turned up in her car with no apology. We were shown our room which was not what we expected. The waste bin was still full from the previous occupant, and there were cobwebs around the window frames and ceiling. Breakfast was arranged for 08:30 and we were told we had to have it in our room. The next morning we had a knock at the door just a few minutes past eight, it was our breakfast, it was not as expected bearing in mind we had stopped at this same B & B for the last 10 years with the previous owner and the standard was always excellent, so the offering was very disappointing. It was also very disturbing as the husband of the owner pushed past me with the breakfast tray without asking, and this was not the etiquette we are used to. We noted that the former dining room has been turned into their accommodation, so once Covid 19 is over I fear this B & B will continue to serve Breakfast in the room, but we will not be there to experience this because we will not be going back, and The gutter outside our window is growing grass and weeds. The toast was not even browned, and the beans were cold. Anne the previous owner won Trip Advisor wards for many years and in.10 months this flag ship of a B & B has been reduced to a shambles.

Response from Jenny Vu, Owner at Sea Breezes
Responded Sep 19, 2020
I am sorry to read that you had some issues with your stay Robin. I can assure you since this difficult time everyone has been facing during the pandemic, everyone here at the B & B has been working extra hard to keep all guests safe. I am sorry to hear you didn't enjoy you breakfast, although I remember your plates being clear at the time. As a Vietnamese chef, I take pride in cooking home cooked food and enjoy sharing my passion with my guests in a comfortable relaxed setting and make a conscious effort to ensure bellies are full and plates are empty. You also mentioned that there have been some changes since the previous owners left, I assure you that although we have had to make some changes to the layout, to facilitate our small family who also reside on the premises, our main aim is to keep all guests comfortable and their requirements met to the highest possible standard. This has worked fine for previous guests, as you can see from our reviews on Trip Advisor everyone has been more than happy with the service we have provided and I have received no other complaints regarding the new layout. As a business small business owner I find it quite upsetting that the high standards we pride ourselves on, have not met your expectations Robin. Customer care and hospitality are of paramount importance to us and we treat all reviews on Trip Advisor seriously. I am sorry that you felt we have under performed as a guest house and felt the need to write this negative review, to which i have to object as I feel we have provided you with an adequate service, which I was lead to believe you were satisfied with at the time of your stay. Kind regards Jenny

This was the last stop on our road trip of Devon and Cornwall. A lovely spacious room, tastefully decorated and with a sea view. You have a wide selection to choose from for breakfast including vegetarian and vegan options. Thank you Jenny and Lee for making us feel so welcome and at home. I can highly recommend Sea Breezes.

This is a family home, run by a very friendly couple who have obviously put a lot of effort into making their guests stay comfortable.
Room was comfy and well equipped, shower was awesome, good view over the bay.
Breakfast was nice.
I’d stay again.

Well positioned B&B right on the Hoe and walking distance from centre of town and Barbican. Room was very comfortable and nice and clean, and the breakfast was very nice (although coffee was a bit on the average side). Perhaps because we might have been the only people there, but it was very hands-off experience and heating was only on for a short-while. Nothing really to complain about, pretty decent all things considered, just a little lacking.

Amazing couple days at the Sea Breeze, Jenny was accommodating and an incredible chef, she went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and hassle free. The room was clean and the bedding fresh as a daisy. Highly recommend. We will be back!

Hi, sorry for this misleading information. The public swimming is nearby and there is no spa. Our guesthouse is small so we don’t have any spa or swimming pool but these are all the facilities nearby the guesthouse. Many thanks.
Roadside parking - usually you can find a bay close handy if not right outside,
