Peace and tranquillity reign supreme at Mount Batten. It is a small peninsula surrounded by Plymouth harbour and the River Plym. In the immediate area there is the marina, a beach with stunning views and sunsets, 2 newly built pubs, "The Mount Batten" and "The Bridge".

A short walk (5mins) along the coastal path takes you to Turnchapel, a historic fishing village, with a small beach and a few small boats, with another 2 pubs "The Borrington Arms”, and "The Clovelly", which both have excellent food.

Walk along the coastal path further alongside Hooe Lake, a view over Radford Park, and its castle, arriving at Hooe itself, with a few takeaways and a shop, park and child’s play area. Four beaches within 5 miles, plenty of country pubs, obviously there are many more beaches available to you, within an hour’s drive. If you like sailing, the Mount Batten centre has all sorts of boats, dingys, and tuition available.www.mountbatten-centre.com

Plymouth has an airport, ferry port,national bus depot and a railway station; if you are arriving without a car, Europe car hire has an office at the train station (01752-668004) and I have found their prices to be the most competitive in the past. There is also a national car hire on Alexander road Mutley.

If arriving by bus, I recommend taking a taxi to the train station for a car, about a 1/2 mile distance.

If you choose to arrive by plane into Plymouth airport the nearest car hire is united, in Estover about 1 mile away. 01752-696968.

“brilliant house, excellent location” the house was thoroughly cleaned throughout,before our arrival.it had bigger rooms than we exspected.the owner left us a bottle of good wine. it was a lovely place for my wife and i to relax. the owner lent us some fishing equipment so we could take our grandson fishing on the near by beach.

“Highly recommended - nicely presented property in lovely location.” I stayed here with my husband and parents whilst visiting my son in Plymouth just before Christmas. The layout of the property was perfect for us and it had everything we needed. I would definitely... more

“An excellent property in an ideal location.” We have just had a great week at Mountbatten House with our 2 teenaged children. The location is ideal for exploring the local area, the views across to Plymouth are superb and if you enjoy walking, the walk around the coast to Bovisand (via the cafe at Jennycliff) is not to be missed. Mountbatten breakwater is a 5 minutes walk away, a great place to watch the ships and ferries in Plymouth Sound, and for looking back across at The Hoe. Also nearby is the water taxi across to The Barbican, from which there is a short walk into the town centre. There are plenty of supermarkets and smaller shops within a short drive, and as well as The Bridge restaurant a couple of minutes walk away (excellent for breakfast), there are many places to eat and drink within a short drive, or a hop across the water taxi. The house is very comfortable, spotlessly clean and with everything we needed for the week. The owner left a bottle of wine as a welcome, and in addition he provided all the things that are sometimes annoyingly missing from a holiday let - toilet rolls, bin liners, tea towels, washing up liquid (all the things I usually forget to pack!). The windows in the lounge opened onto a balcony, literally overlooking the marina, and it was great to be able to sit and watch the boats bobbing about in the water - very relaxing. And as a Plymothian ex-pat myself, I couldn't get enough of the wonderful view! There are a lot of stairs in the property, not an issue for us at all, and there were safety bannisters, but this may be an issue for anyone not good with stairs. I love this house, I will definitely stay there again, and having stayed in various properties in the Plymouth area, this is my favourite.
