Excellent accommodation
Very nicely appointed accommodation. Three double rooms with large comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms - ideal for three couples. Comfortable living space and a great location for Plymouth (15 mins) without being in the city. Nice rural views. The large hot-tub is excellent, offering nice views. Could do with slightly better screening, some pegs for towels/robes and an outdoor light. One robe is included per room. The Mussell Inn offers very nice food and great service, though is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The kitchen in the accommodation has a small induction hob and small oven, but it's plenty for self-catering. Couldn't figure out how to turn on the extractor fan, so be prepared for smoke alarm if you like a cooked breakfast! WiFi is decent, covering all the rooms and plenty quick enough.
