    Enjoy a break by the sea with Plymouth holiday cottages

    Discover stunning sea views and cosmopolitan living when you escape to the historic city of Plymouth. The attractive port city in South Devon is jam-packed with attractions, spectacular beaches, pretty cobbled streets, and a rich maritime history.

    From the outstanding beauty of Plymouth Hoe and the brilliant National Marine Aquarium to the idyllic old port and learning about the pilgrims, you'll never be short of things to do in Plymouth.

    To see everything the city has to offer in comfort and style, stay in one of our beautiful Plymouth holiday cottages. Our hand-picked selection features cute cabins overlooking the water, ancient stone cottages brimming with character, and everything in between.

    Whether you're looking for a cottage for a cosy weekend break, or a spacious property for a longer staycation, at Snaptrip, we'll help you find your perfect holiday pad.

    Why choose a Plymouth weekend break or staycation?

    Located on the south coast of Devon, Plymouth is a vibrant city with a fascinating history. Home to England's biggest naval bases and seaports, Plymouth is renowned for its role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada, its links to the Napoleonic Wars, and Darwin's sailing around the world.

    Its naval base is commemorated at the Mayflower Steps, where the pilgrims are thought to have set sail across the Atlantic for the New World. While the steps no longer exist, the site where the pilgrims boarded the Mayflower is marked with both Union Jack and Stars and Stripes.

    From this point, you can join the Mayflower Trail, which transports you back in time to 1620, discovering what Plymouth's Barbican area was like in the 17th century.

    To discover more about Plymouth's past, head to The Box, a cultural destination spread across three buildings. You'll find a museum, art gallery, and exhibition spaces. The Museum and Art Gallery focuses on the city's relationship with the sea, historic voyages that began in Plymouth, and natural history specimens.

    Plymouth Hoe, also known as the Hoe, is the centre of the city, nestled high above the harbour, this must-see park offers incredible views of the city and its surrounding areas. As you make your way around the park, you'll discover the Armada Monument and the Naval War Memorial. If you fancy cooling down, take a dip in the Tinside Lido, a beautiful Art Deco outdoor swimming pool.

    The city's waterfront is spectacular. It's been given the title of Britain's Ocean City, and there are so many opportunities to get out on the water. Try your hand at sailing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or scuba diving, or just enjoy a gentle paddle in the sparkling sea.

    Plymouth is also home to the UK's largest aquarium. National Marine Aquarium boasts over 4,000 creatures, from the inhabitants of the Plymouth Sound to the tropical waters of Australia.

    There are countless events and festivals held in Plymouth throughout the year, so no matter when you come, you'll always find something on. From the Ocean Festival and Pirates Weekend to Flavour Fest and the Seafood Carnival, Plymouth is a city filled with fantastic events to get stuck into.

    For a great night out, head to Royal William Yard, a Grade 1 listed ex-naval victualling yard. This beautiful spot hosts a variety of popular restaurants, al-fresco dining spots, bars, pop-up shops, galleries, and excellent events.

    With so much to see and do in Plymouth, you'll only wish your trip could last longer.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • M - Verified booking

      Unfortunately we were not told about any building works near the cottage when we booked so when we arrived we were shocked to see a major build with scaffolding to the left of the house.

      The garden to other side of the cottage was also being used for the builder's portaloo and portakabin which which when in use the door overlooked our garden. The workmen started at 7.30am and started the cement mixer and were constantly wheelbarrowing buiding materials pass the cottage. We did call Sykes as we wanted to leave that morning but were told if we did we would not qualify for a refund so after spending most of Monday speaking to Sykes they confirmed the owner would either reduce the weekly charge by 20% (not an option) or refund the nights we did not stay, we ageed to the latter so we could just get out of this situation. We did finally manage to get a refund for the 3 nights we did not stay (although it was due to Sykes we had to stay and pay for an extra night!) but the owner refused to consider this. In retrospect we should have asked for a full refund! The photos on the website are not a true reflection of the area at the moment so these photos and information need to be updated. If we had been told of the excessive build we would not have chosen this cottage. The cleanliness was also an issue, chip in oven, bbq dirty, t-shirt found behind microwave (?) and worse was the filthy smelly rugs in the sitting room. The back garden was also overgrown as noted in a preious review July 2021. Sykes do not check the cottages as far I understand they rely on the owner and paying guests to update them which totally unacceptable. You will most certainly be aware of the problems as noted above as it took nearly all week to speak with your company to get any conclusion when it should have been a week or relaxation.

    • Peter - Verified booking

      The cottage is situated in a quiet suburb of Hooe.

      On arrival it soon bacome obvious that there wasn't a wardrobe to hang our clothes nor chest of drawers. On closer inspection the cupboard featured in one of the photos has removable shelves which then allowed my partner to hang her dresses and my shirts, we lived out of our suitcases for all our other clothing. The settee is a bed-settee and not necessarily designed for comfort. The cottage is tidy with all the mod-cons as you would expect but most flat surfaces are covered in plastic flowery things, way too many when space is at a premium in a small cottage. There's a disticnct smell of damp in the confinded areas, but with DIY air vents situated around the place to help air circulation. The stairs are akin to a ladder although I managed OK (67 years old). The gardens, front and rear are fabulous and well maintained. The Royal Oak down the street is a bit of a dive, can't say anything regarding food as we left after one drink. There are much better pubs for food and drink a modest walk away. We took a ferry from Mount Batten overf to Plymouth which was great, and also discovered Mount Edgcombe on another great day out. A tad expensive when compared to similar in Port Issac but ok as a base to work from.

    • Janice - Verified booking

      The cottage is a real "home from home".

      Everything you need is where you think it will be. The accommodation is immaculate and beautifully decorated, but really comfortable too. If you love peace and quiet this property is wonderful. The views from the seating areas are spectacular, all the way to Dartmoor on a clear day, but always rolling countryside. We watched the harvesting and bailing over the week whilst having dinner. Bring your telescope for star gazing at night. It's very quiet but really close to a wonderful beach at Mothescombe with reasonable all day parking. You can walk the south coast path from the cottage. It's easy to get back to A379 for travelling further afield across South Hamms and into Plymouth and Cornwall beyond. Take heed of the directions from A379 though and come through Battisborough Cross as some of the other lanes SATNAVs like are very narrow and used by the tractors quite a lot. It would test your reversing skills! Just book it, you won't be disappointed.

    • Marie - Verified booking

      Although we did have a nice week at eventide it was adequate for our stay there were a few things which would’ve made the stay more enjoyable.

      Overall it was clean and the bathroom was nice. The cooking facilities were very difficult to understand with very limited instructions to anything. In fact we gave up with oven and hob after just about understanding the microwave! The tv was quite an issue as only internet viewing unless you down loaded apps! Made watching very difficult. And on a wet February week we felt some tv was needed. The hot water also In the kitchen and bathroom sink stopped working half way through week too. And the beds had to be the hardest I’ve ever slept on! But maybe some people like them like that. Definitely if yiu are tall or not very mobile you will find this place challenging. And the key to the front door was bent too. This place could be so much nicer with just a bit more thought to some small things.

    • Kevin - Verified booking

      Lovely cottage that has been tastefully updated and very comfortable to stay in.

      Beautiful front garden that sits over the lake and a lovely place to sit and have a few drinks. There’s a back garden that’s secluded accessible by a small door (watch your head - I still have the bumps!) which is ideal for your morning coffee. The spiral staircase is fine but if you have any mobility issues, you may want to take particular care. Property was spotlessly clean upon arrival and a few essentials left for us were gratefully received. Location is fine and there’s a few shops nearby and a pretty decent pub stumbling distance away. Plymouth itself with all that offers is only a 20 minute drive away. Able to park car right next to property and everyone we bumped into was very friendly. Overall, a lovely place to stay. Just wish we had better weather :(
