Best Hotels near Donovan Department Stores, Kingsbridge

I am writing this review on behalf of my parents who have just stayed at the Trecarn through Caledonia Travel - and theyve had a fabulous time. Yes the hotel needs a little updating in places but they are getting back on their feet from suffering 2years of covid. For my parents - the staff were excellent and the food was excellent (buffet style for which you could eat has much as you wanted and 4free drinks per person). The evening entertainment was very good and they enjoyed the bingo also. Their Caledonia Drivers were excellent and all the trips were also thoroughly enjoyed. Overall a great holiday

We headed to Plymouth for a surprise 30th birthday party and booked here as it was near to the venue. The reception staff were great, I received 2 free drinks vouchers which were part of my deal without having to request them. The star of the service staff was the young man, who was new to working the bar (Fri 17th March in the afternoon) He was clearly so passionate about getting everything correct, checking all glasses for marks etc. He is a credit to an employer. The room was spacious and the bed super comfy with loads of pillows. Shower and bathroom were really clean and had good pressure (something I always comment on, as there is nothing worse trying to freshen up under a dribble!) We were only on the 2nd floor but heard no street noise at all. The location is great for the barbican. Only small issue is that the car park is very grotty- but its a typical city centre car park. But its locked at night so fairly safe I would say. Definitely would stay again when we come back.

I can only describe our experience here as a giant hug. Such a warm and inviting place making you feel like family. The Inn is cosy, the staff are friendly, fun and attentive. The restaurant delivers breakfast, lunch and dinner with a great choice of options and all are delicious. We had the Nelson room for 2 adults and a 6ft teen. The beds are generous and comfy. So much charm and character. Book without hesitation. We will be back again soon

We stayed for one night in August. The Duke of Cornwall is a historic Victorian building which looks amazing on the outside, it’s a very old hotel so has some querks. There was major external works so scaffolding in place and most of the building was covered in tarpaulin. We booked via a popular ”booking” site for £210 for a family room + our fur baby including breakfast. A Grand staircase leads up to all floors and these are well numbered and easy to find rooms. You can take the lift if you prefer but it is very small and a bit claustrophobic. We were in Room 410 – the room itself was huge, bedroom and bathroom, whilst huge, the room was bit 'tired' but very clean & a modernised bathroom. The bed was VERY comfy and we had a good night’s sleep. Hairdryer supplied in room – handy although it was a typical travel hairdryer so don’t expect too much. The back of the hotel is very different to the front, a bit run-down and in desperate need of sprucing up! Car parking - small car park and situated at the back of the building, with a walkway from the car park leading into the hotel and then down one floor to reception to check in. Bar area = modernised with original features and prices were reasonable. We did request a snack at about 8:30ish and was told to wait as kitchen was still open but no one came to take order - the hotel information stated the restaurant served meals from 7pm until 9:30pm daily so we were a little disappointed that we couldn’t have anything. Breakfast: was served in the bar area as we had taken our fur baby down with us. There was a choice of croissants, cereals, fruit, yoghurt etc. or cooked selection. We opted for bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and mushrooms all ordered from our table and was brought out within 5 minutes – staff were really friendly and attentive. Although the breakfast was fine it seemed expensive for the 3 of us as was £54.00. We had mixed feelings about our stay. The hotel itself is very grand in the public areas but the corridors and rooms need some attention to bring them back up to the grandeur they once were – we would stay again if rooms had an upgrade to match the rest of the hotel.
