Highly recommended!
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!

Amazing boutique style hotel !
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.

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.
