This beautiful ground-floor apartment is situated in an enviable position within the city of Plymouth. Less than a mile stroll away is the highly-rated Royal William Yard offering a stunning setting for eateries, bars and local shops with breathtaking views over Plymouth Sound and across to Cornwall. You can choose to wander around the Cricket Grounds, and the nearby parks, go wild swimming at Devils Point, or walk on the Hoe. If you prefer, there is a choice of local outdoor swimming pools, Mount Wise (about a 20 min walk) has three pools or on the seafront 2 miles away, the beautiful Grade II, Art Deco Tinside Lido is the perfect place for a dip in the summer months. If you are more of a night owl, Plymouth has a very active theatre and concert venue, which is also the home of the Plymouth Raiders Basketball Team. Plymouth is a great base to explore Devon and Cornwall, with its quaint villages, cathedrals, towns and truly stunning beaches. Some are not too far away, Bovisand (8 miles) and Burgh Island (24 miles) or if you rather go by foot – take the ferry from Royal William Yard to Cawsands. Alternatively, you can devote a day to discovering the natural wonders and beauty of Dartmoor National Park, or explore the remarkable Eden Project (36 miles).

When you arrive at Mount Wise, and step inside the communal entrance hallway and into your apartment, you can relax, take your shoes off, hang up your coats, and make yourself a drink with the complementary welcome pack. Just inside the apartment door on your right is a useful cupboard with a washer/dryer, on your left is somewhere to keep your keys and a welcome book, which explains more details about the apartment. There are two bedrooms, the master bedroom is to your left with a king-size bed with Smart TV and an en-suite shower room with WC. Next door is the second bedroom, another king-size bed with Smart TV, both bedrooms have an Alexa Smart speaker to help kickstart your day. Opposite in the hall is a family bathroom with shower over bath and WC, both bathrooms are packed full of daily essentials. To the rear of the apartment is the open-plan kitchen, dining area and lounge space. With beautiful floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, you can fill the room with light and bring the outside air in. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of space for storage and cooking. A dining table is centrally placed with ample space for everyone, it can also be extended to accommodate more people.

An amazing place to stay which offers a high level of comfort. Incredible attention to detail made for a 'home from home' stay with many thoughtful 'extras' that will make this a place you won't want to leave! Slept so well. Very well equipped kitchen/open plan living. Super location. A short walk for stunning views of Plymouth Sound; a stroll to RRead moreoyal William Yard; a trip on the Cremyl ferry to Mt Edgecumbe; a short taxi drive to the Barbican. Definitely want to come back. Thank you! Hide
