Duke Of Cornwall Hotel

As well as looking impressive in the front from the street, the communal area and stair-well of this hotel building have the "wow" factor that is so good to see in an older hotel. The decor is beautiful, and well cared for. We had a "superior" room, which was spacious, warm and with two windows. The large bathroom had a bath and separate shower. The bed was large and extremely comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was cooked to order - so much better than lukewarm buffet food. The location is perfect for anyone going to, or (as we were) coming back from, France on Brittany Ferries. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. I absolutely loved, and totally approved of, the folded information sheet that doubled up as the wallet for the door key card. All hotels should follow suit!!

A beautiful, authentic hotel. It was a wonderfully wholesome stay. I visited with my two young sons and they had the best time. They want to make it our new Christmas tradition. The breakfast was really good. The bed was super comfortable and the room warm.

Comfortable bed. Great breakfast and location ideal for our needs.

We booked this because we were attending a show in Plymouth Pavilions and wanted to make a night of it. Beautiful old hotel, we had a room with a sea view which made it even more special. We paid to be half board and the evening meal was excellent. Staff were just the right amount of friendly. Breakfast was basic but good, options were up to 8 items from the full English list with toast so you could do eggs on toast etc if full English is too much. Also croissants and pan au Chocolat, yogurt, fruit and cereal etc. This was a lovely night's getaway for my partner and I and definitely so where we would consider again.

We are seasoned travellers to this beautiful Hotel, and have been staying here since 2012. We absolutely adore it! We have stayed in various rooms including pretty twin rooms, and double rooms with vintage furniture such as a carved sleigh bed, with a lounge seating area adjacent. Our absolute favourite though is The Tower! It is in a turret that stands above the main hotel, and it has three floors. The top two floors having 360⁰ views of Plymouth. In the very top floor are chairs and a circular table where you can sit and relax and enjoy panoramic views out to sea over Plymouth Sound, and watch the ships, ferries and pleasure craft sailing in and out. There are adorable Victorian binoculars to view the area and over to Drakes Island out at sea. Another favourite feature of mine is the glass desk in the first floor bedroom with an ergonomic, leather desk chair. The bed is extremely comfortable and it is quiet so you get a great night's sleep. The theme of the Tower is nautical and there are old ledger books on the second floor that make you feel as if you're a Sea Captain gazing out of your own lighthouse!! All the rooms we've stayed in have baths to lie and pamper yourself in. The Tower has a truly special roll top bath. There are showers also. The main part of the Hotel is simply luxurious. It is like stepping back in time!! Breakfast can be collected and taken to your room. We have ours in the top of the Tower. I particularly love the little stick of fried bread I get with my Vegetarian full English. Room service is available for other meals. The bar with its leather Chesterfield sofas is beautiful, and the drinks are chilled to perfection and always fresh. We had the misfortune to be staying during the riots in Plymouth when all the shops, pubs and restaurants closed early! The bar man told us they had trained for such an event but had never before had to use that training! They locked down the Hotel and assured us they would keep us safe.
