Edgcumbe Guest House

About us

Ideally located just a stone’s throw from Plymouth’s stunning waterfront, the multi award winning Edgcumbe Guest House is just perfect for your stay in Plymouth. 

This highly recommended, well maintained, top quality boutique guest house has a choice of en suite rooms to suit everyone. 
Treat yourselves to a stay in our luxury king size four poster bedroom which has an en suite complete with his and hers basins and double walk in shower, or the luxury triple room with super king size bed and side view of the sea, or bring the family and spread out in the spacious two bedroomed family suite which has a kitchen area too.  We also have twin, double or triple rooms, two of which are on the ground floor.   All our rooms are en suite and are beautifully decorated with luxury bedding, USB points and digital Freeview tvs with dozens of channels as standard.   All rooms have hairdryers, luxury toiletries and generous beverage trays with tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and chocolates.

Breakfasts are a real treat with endless options.  Think extra thick cut bacon, hand tied premium sausages, free range eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice and artisan bread.  Whatever your choice it will be freshly cooked to order using the finest produce which is locally sourced wherever possible.  From the traditional full English breakfast for those with a larger appetite to something a little different and not normally offered in a b&b such as eggs benedict, eggs royale or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon or perhaps a Continental breakfast with cold meats, cheeses and pastries.  There is a vast choice of cereals, yoghurts both fruit and natural, fresh fruits, grapefruit, prunes and juices to help yourselves to from our buffet section.  The emphasis is on quality and choice.  Special diets and allergies are catered for with pleasure.  Our breakfast room is on the ground floor.

We have limited private parking which is available on a first come, first served basis. We also use roadside parking and have concessionary tickets available for our guests.  Unfortunately it’s not practical or possible to reserve private parking spaces.  If you book direct with us either by phone or via our own website we guarantee that parking will not cost you a penny as we will provide you with one parking voucher for every night of your stay if the private parking is taken.

Carla has been running Edgcumbe Guest House for 22 years and is proud to continue the ongoing refurbishment work which make this one of the top guest houses in Plymouth.  The guest house has been in her family for 50 years so she has a wealth of experience in and knowledge about the hospitality industry and Plymouth as a destination and can help you with every aspect of your stay from booking taxis to recommendations for things to do and see.

We are within easy walking distance of theatres, Plymouth Pavilions, City Centre, The Hoe and Barbican.  Plymouth University, the train and bus stations and ferry port are close by. 
There are dozens of restaurants, bars, cafes and places to eat just a few minutes from us.

We are on the South West Coast Patch and welcome walkers.  We work alongside Luggage Transfers so you can be assured that your luggage will be dropped off and collected securely. 

Dogs are welcome too.  Please see our website for our full dog policy as there are some restrictions to ensure that all dogs and humans enjoy their stay with us.  Alternatively phone for further details or to have any questions answered.
