We had a really lovely stay at The Craft House. The room and particularly the bed was very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and the hosts were so lovely! Highly recommended!
Really lovely place to stay. Very well kept and seemed to have been recently decorated/updated. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. We were visiting for the Plymouth Summer Sessions and it was the perfect place to stay, so close to the event!
Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. Room excellently decorated and very comfortable with good amenities and a great location for city access. Would thoroughly recommend.
Lovely hotel step away from Plymouth Hoe. Arty decor super clean and comfy. Delicious breakfast. Family run, friendly and welcoming service. Would highly recommend.
The owners are very nice and very helpful. The room was very clean and it seemed nothing was too much bother for them to help. Help me a great deal and would definitely go again.
Lovely small independent hotel. Ian and Suzy were really helpful and friendly. Room was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. Two minutes from the Hoe and ten minutes walk to the Barbican. Would definitely recommend.
Im so glad i found this hotel in Plymouth, it was an absolute delight to stay here.
As somebody who stays in hotels 2-3 nights a week, I try to stay away from the soulless, big chain hotels where there is a complete lack of personal service. Craft House is the polar opposite and Ian & Suzy work so hard to give their guests a lovely experience.
Fantastic, Ian & Suzy are so welcoming, the hotel is perfect, lovely welcoming decor and tastful decorated bedrooms, Also Twiglet, I love a dog in a hotel, just makes it so much more welcoming.
As Arni Said, "I'll be Bacl"
The Craft House had a modern and welcoming feel about it, and was meticulously clean and well decorated. Although our room was quite small (it was labelled as the "cosy room") it still had everything we needed and was very comfortable as we were only staying for one night. I imagine there are larger rooms also available. Room had a lot of electrical sockets so easy for hair drying, charging etc. Bathroom was roomy and shower was spacious with lots of hot water. Only suggestion would to be to convert one or two sockets to be USB charging points. Although we didn't have time to take advantage of it there was a small lounge and bar just off the reception area. Great location - within 100 yards of Plymouth Hoe and about 10 minutes walk to the Barbican Area. Its on street parking so we got lucky with a space just outside but seemed to be spaces further up the street also. Would definitely stay there again.
Upon checking in at The Craft House Ian and Twiglet were incredibly welcoming, the Hotel itself is amazing, well presented and decorated, the rooms are comfortable and clean (the tunnocks caramel wafers are a nice touch) and if that wasn’t enough when we told Ian, Suzy and Twiglet we were staying there to celebrate getting married, they gave us a hand made congratulations card. The breakfast was amazing all the ingredients are locally sourced this is by far one of the best Hotels in Plymouth.
Staff were really helpful and kind. Room was immaculate, bathroom was spotless and linens were high-quality and pristine. Bed was comfy, and some nice touches like local treats and toiletries. The breakfast was really good quality and reasonably priced.
Biggest downside is that the room was cramped— we were on a several-day trip, so it was hard to manage our large suitcases in the space. Would have also helped to have some more hooks or something to hang clothes and towels from.
Overall, would definitely stay here again, though might shell out for a larger room.
Highly recommended stay! Exceptionally clean and comfortable with some lovely little additional touches to make the stay memorable. I wish I’d have found The Craft House sooner! A beautiful place with delightful decor, and delicious breakfasts with well-cooked, well chosen ingredients. Ian and Suzy are wonderful hosts and have the balance just right - it was a pleasure to meet them, alongside Twiglet who gave the perfect greeting on arrival. I was made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you!
