Fantastic!

What a wonderful find! The hotel had a great atmosphere with lovely decor, was very clean, lovely staff (Kate was very helpful and very accommodating with our friend who was on crutches) and very nice rooms. Breakfast was excellent, kept us going all day. Hotel is close to all the restaurants, the Hoe and surrounding areas. We are fairly local but will be back when visiting Plymouth again.

Very nice Hotel, very clean, nice staff

Had a nice stay, very clean. Looks like it has been redecorated. Room a bit small , bed ok. No chair and there was T and coffee although the cups were ridiculously small😂 parking is tight but got a slot. Breakfast room quite elegant and full English was great. Good service too.

The Drake - A Diamond B&B !

I choose the Drake as a last minute booking, and I was not disappointed. My single room was very clean, spacious, with a decent wardrobe. Very friendly staff at both Reception and at breakfast. Great deal to have a delicious breakfast as well. Good car parking as well.
