The Catacombs

About this property

The Catacombs is a remarkable apartment set in the heart of Plymouth’s historic Barbican, a place where centuries-old charm meets sleek, contemporary comfort. Sleeping up to three guests, this pet-friendly retreat offers something truly distinctive, making it perfect for couples, small families or business travellers looking for a base with character and convenience. Step inside and you’ll find a beautifully designed open-plan living area that blends atmosphere with practicality. Adjustable mood lighting, Smart TVs and high-speed WiFi create an inviting space to unwind, while the fully equipped kitchen is ready for anything from a lazy breakfast to a home-cooked feast. You’ll find an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster and kettle, plus a washing machine and tumble dryer to make longer stays easy.

Air conditioning keeps things comfortable whatever the weather. The property features two distinctive bedrooms, a luxurious king-size master and a single bedroom set within one of the apartment’s original catacombs, giving the space a unique historic twist. The sleek bathroom includes a walk-in shower, basin and WC, with towels and bed linen provided. Guests also benefit from secure, allocated parking, a rare luxury in the city centre. Step outside and you’re moments from Plymouth’s bustling waterfront. Wander the Barbican’s cobbled streets, lined with cafés, independent shops and seafood restaurants, or enjoy a drink by the harbour as the boats drift in.

Sutton Harbour and Plymouth Hoe are nearby for scenic strolls and sea views, while Smeaton’s Tower and the National Marine Aquarium make for great days out. For a change of pace, Royal William Yard is within easy reach, and Dartmoor National Park offers wild open moorland just a short drive away. Combining history, comfort and innovation in equal measure, The Catacombs delivers a stay that’s as memorable as its name.

Surrounded by the rugged beauty of Dartmoor, the glorious countryside of the South Hams and the vibrant scenery of the South Devon coast, Plymouth offers the perfect mixture of maritime heritage and natural beauty in a vibrant city environment. Wander through the maze of narrow streets with their shops, restaurants and art galleries and down to the Barbican quayside, where the city's maritime history begins. Take a stroll up to the Hoe with its unsurpassed view across one of the world's finest natural harbours and where Francis Drake played bowls as the Armada sailed into view! Take a tour of the Plymouth Gin distillery, watch a show at the Theatre Royal or spend a fascinating few hours at the National Marine Aquarium. There are also boat trips around the Sound and Naval dockyards, watersports at the Mountbatten Centre and the city centre shopping mall to explore. The wild tors of Dartmoor, the beach resorts of Torbay, several stately homes and gardens and the splendid coastal scenery of South Cornwall can all be reached in under 45 minutes.
