A very pleasant day

The accommodation was absolutely lovely, but, it is very small, absolutely great as a base for visiting local area. There are two spacious bedrooms and a table with two dining chairs big enough to accommodate two people and a very small sofa. The only thing we missed was a separate room where we could sit down together. But, the accommodation was exactly as it was described. I would highly recommend this venue and the host. .

A beautiful home with all the creature comforts, very close to the beach front and harbour. Amazing views all round with exquisite cuisine located on the doorstep, super friendly area with easy access to the local town centre by car or by a short boat ride. The owner was amazing and very welcoming to our family, we had the best time in a long time away from home, their home felt like our home for the entire stay!

Family Holiday

We’ve just returned from a lovely week staying at The Mount. The property had plenty of space for our family of four and bonus that each room has its own en-suite with fantastic showers and lots of space for two teenage girls to get ready. The accommodation was very clean and the small kitchen area was perfect for breakfast and snacks with every utensil you’d need and an ample size fridge. Although there is no sitting room the bedrooms are large and we managed to sit around the dining table for breakfast and games in the evening. Lots to do in the area and the proximity to Royal William Yard meant we tried every restaurant available and with only a short walk through private drive we felt really spoiled. Great to have parking for free and within a secure drive meant no concerns going out for the day. Joanna was lovely from original booking to our stay and gave us ideas of places to visit and just generally wanted us to have a fantastic holiday and enjoy our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and definitely will recommend to others. I can’t fault accommodation or our hosts in any way.

Great place great location

We had a fantastic 2 week stay. Joanna and Andrew were perfect hosts warm friendly and welcoming . The accommodation was modern and clean with comfy beds and lovely bathrooms (great showers). One of the bedrooms has a great view with glimpses of the sea peeking through the trees. The kitchenette accommodated all our needs consisting of a fridge, coffee machine, kettle, microwave, toaster and even an omelette maker. The accommodation has private parking through electric gates great for peace of mind. Royal Williams Yard and devils point with its great views and many restaurants are only a few yards away . Or grab an early morning coffee from Hutong and watch the swimmers at Firestone bay as the sun shimmers on the sea . This is a perfect base to discover the surrounding areas such as Mount Edgcumbe house and park. Jennycliff and it’s costal walks, the hoe and Barbican, Looe bay, Dartmoor with its wild ponies. Discover many more places in Cornwall and Devon. Great accommodation for a base to discover surrounding areas. Thank you Joanna and Andrew for making this so welcoming.

Beautiful accommodation and perfect location

Hosts Joanna and Andrew very friendly and welcoming and couldn’t be more helpful to make our stay perfect. The accommodation was ideal for what we wanted and being next door to so many restaurants was a bonus. We stayed during the recent heatwave and the accommodation stayed reasonable cool under the extreme heat. Looking forward to staying again.

Modern apartment in an ideal location.

Friendly welcoming hosts right from the moment of booking, very approachable & there for advice of where to visit. Apartment modern, clean & comfy, perfect to use as a base for those not wanting to cook like me, kitchenette had all we needed. A welcoming pack on arrival for that cuppa after a long journey. Robes & slippers provided for use of the sauna, sadly we ran out of time to use this, so that is another reason we will be back. We were lucky enough to be shown the cottage which is ideally suited for those wishing for a more home from home feel, such as a kitchen, washing machine & outside space. Both properties are accessed through electric gates, giving peace of mind for parking. We will be booking again and will be happy with either property. Thank you Joanna & Andrew for making us so welcome. Helen & Nigel

Outstanding, amazing accommodation and hosts

Well what can we say??!! After seeing the photos on Vrbo and then actually seeing the House and our ‘digs’ for ourselves our expectations were well exceeded, well beyond what we could of hoped for. Clean, tidy, modern, so relaxing. Our hosts Joanna and Andrew went over and above to look after us and make sure we were happy with everything. They were so trustworthy and their generosity knows no bounds. Joanna also took the time on the phone to answer any questions and was on hand for any issues and advice on what to do and where to visits prior to our arrival. Upon finally meeting Joanna it was like meeting an old friend again, so welcoming, friendly and lovely. We will definitely be returning to stop here at this little gem of a find. Two minute walk to the Royal William yard and then half hourly ferry’s across to Cornwall, and the Barbican. I am returning home three stone heavier after all the fab food and amazing cocktails we have devoured!! Joanna, we will see you again soon 🥰

Fabulous place

We stayed from Wednesday to Sunday and arrived late-ish Wednesday. Spoke to Joanna on Thursday morning and can't thank her enough for such good communication and friendliness. Accommodation is excellent with all that you need to hand and more. The location is amazing. We went on a ferry/bus/ferry ride on the advice of Joanna and it was AWESOME and I must point out that the Bus part of this journey was an extreme treat, you must try it ;-) Thanks again to lovely Joanna, our stay was absolutely wonderful :-)

About the host

Hosted by Joanna Jeffery

Host profile image
My husband and I have been hosts to actors visiting Plymouth for some 20 years when we lived in our Georgian house. We know only too well that you want a clean, warm, pleasant place to stay which is private and quiet. We are here to help if you need us - but we are also aware that you are on your holiday and we do not encroach on your space.
In 2019 we built 'The Mount' which is where we now live having sold our old house. The two-bed accommodation being offered to you is on the ground-floor of the new house and completely separate.
My career has been as a teacher of children with aspects of dyslexia. I ran my own business having created a reading resource for children that is based on playing card games and having fun and yet it is a professional reading scheme
My husband is a keen golfer so if you would like any information on the several courses around here he will be able to help.

Why they chose this property

This is an opportunity to stay in a new-build property with clean and fresh bedrooms.

The amazing air exchange system gives clean fresh air 24/7. I have been astonished at its efficiency - no stale air, all fresh with the same temp air coming in as going out - but fresh - it is wonderful.

The underfloor heating system works throughout the property - meaning warm tiles and walking around barefooted is a real pleasure.

As for the location and area in general it really is wonderful. We moved to this area 25 yrs ago and realised how much it had to offer - so much so that we sold the house and built the new house in the grounds.

Apart from being right by the sea and the Royal William Yard we are a short drive from masses of beautiful beaches in Devon and Cornwall. Dartmoor is only a twenty min drive away. But in addition we are in a city postcode, meaning access to everything Plymouth has to offer being a 20min walk, a direct bus twice an hour or a foot ferry twice an hour.

It is an astonishing area offering so much.

What makes this property unique

The Mount is right outside the historic Grade 1 listed naval victualling yard - Royal William Yard now with all its bars restaurants, winebars and open air entertainment during the summer. There are monthly farmers market, open air concerts and plays, jazz and folk music at weekends. There is also water sports in the form of SUPs (Stand Up Paddle boarding. The RWY Ferry goes half hourly to the Barbican.

The Barbican has the aquarium, Mayflower Steps, Plymouth Gin Distillery, restaurants, bars and several interesting shops - art and antiques included. There is a foot ferry to two villages, Cawsand and Kingsand, with beaches and pubs across the River Tamar in Cornwall. These villages can also be reached via a small passenger ferry a couple of hundred metres from the property and then a very pleasant walk of approximately 90 minutes. Alternatively you can take a bus which meets the ferry hourly at Cremyll.
