This is a gorgeous holiday rental overlooking Plymouth sound. Both the ceilings and windows are unusually high, so the feeling is one of spaciousness. The kitchen was tiny, but functional, so you can prepare meals if your needed. The furnishings were comfortable and the managers were easy to deal with. Having said that , this property is all about the view. |
