This spacious area, with original Victorian wooden flooring, is designed for conviviality. Gather with friends and family around the elegant designer dining table or perch at the roomy breakfast bar. The kitchen is fully equipped with quartz surfaces, glass splash-backs, and AEG appliances, including two fridge-freezers, a large induction hob and two eye-level ovens. Additional amenities include a blender, smoothie maker, kitchen-mixer, and a selection of cookery books. In addition, at one end of the kitchen guests benefit from easy access to the street - perfect for unloading supplies - while at the other, French doors lead to a charming patio with wooden bench seating, perfect for enjoying coffee, drinks, or cocktails.
As the kitchen is a second communal area as well as a place to cook and eat, there is dimmable lighting, a wall-mounted Smart TV and a Bluetooth speaker - simply pair with your device and enjoy your favourite playlists.
UTILITY ROOM
A useful utility room leads from the kitchen, with an AEG washing machine, laundry tabs and tumble-drier, along with a basin and draining board, cleaning products, laundry stand, iron, ironing board and garment steamer. Beyond the utility-room there is also a handy cloakroom with WC and hand basin.
BATHROOM & SHOWER ROOM
Hoe Park House features two family bathrooms, one with a rainfall shower and bath on the ground floor, and a walk-in shower room on the first floor. Both bathrooms are fully fitted with basin, vanity unit, storage, heated towel rail, toothbrush charger, shaver socket, and a large mirror with wave-activated LED lighting. Luxurious cotton bath sheets, hand towels, and bathrobes are provided for added comfort.
DOUBLE BEDROOMS
The four spacious double bedrooms in Hoe Park House are tastefully furnished with super soft carpets, wardrobes, chest of drawers, dressing tables/workspaces, and bedside tables. Each bedroom features sumptuous beds with Eve hybrid mattresses, luxury linens, and blackout blinds for a restful sleep. The front bedrooms offer south-facing views over Hoe Park and the Citadel's historic Baroque entrance, while the others provide views of neighbouring rooftops and the city skyline. The twin bedroom offers a wonderful view of the Barbican rooftops and Sutton Marina, with the beautiful wilderness of Dartmoor in the distance.
For larger groups of over 8 guests, our second sitting room transforms into an inviting additional bedroom, complete with a cozy double sofa-bed. You'll have the option to create your private haven by utilising the original Victorian sliding doors, ensuring a comfortable and exclusive space. The office desk doubles as a convenient dressing table, offering functionality and comfort. This room is conveniently located near the family bathroom on the ground floor.
Please be advised that if you wish to utilise this additional bedroom, we kindly request advance notice.

WHY CHOOSE HOE PARK HOUSE...?
What sets Hoe Park House apart as a holiday let is that it is not just a standard vacation rental, but also our family home. It exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, with original artworks and luxurious fittings and furniture adding an extra touch of elegance.
Moreover, the size of the house is truly remarkable, offering ample space for everyone. The bedrooms and sitting rooms are generously proportioned, allowing guests to socialise with family and friends or find a quiet space to enjoy some personal time with a book. The open plan kitchen, with its contemporary design, has been a favourite among our guests, providing a stunning and convivial space for gatherings and enjoyment.
What truly makes Hoe Park House unique, however, is its exceptional location. Within a two-minute walk, guests can access the coast, bars, restaurants, cafes, and more. However, despite being in the vibrant heart of historic Plymouth, Hoe Park House is situated in a small, quiet cul-de-sac, and faces the beautiful Hoe Park, creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
We believe that the combination of a welcoming family home, spaciousness, luxurious amenities, and an unbeatable location makes Hoe Park House a truly exceptional choice for a holiday let.

Toiletries
Based on many years of hosting experience, we've found that most guests prefer to bring their own trusted shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and related products — just as we do when we travel. We understand that guests may have specific preferences or sensitivities when it comes to hair and body products, and we believe that one size does not fit all. Furthermore, by refraining from providing these items, we adhere to eco-friendly practices, reducing our property's environmental footprint and minimising plastic waste.
