Unbeatable Location in Britain’s Ocean City
Hoe Park House boasts a prime location just steps from Plymouth Hoe, making it ideal for those seeking self-catering accommodation in Plymouth near the waterfront. Enjoy breathtaking sea views and historic landmarks such as the Mayflower Steps, with the Barbican’s charming cafés, cocktail bars, and award-winning restaurants just a short stroll away. With Plymouth Sound on the doorstep, there are also plenty of opportunities to enjoy watersports in Plymouth, alongside the South West Coast Path for spectacular coastal walks.
Despite being in the heart of Plymouth, the house sits in a quiet cul-de-sac facing Hoe Park, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of adventure. It’s also the perfect base for exploring Devon and Cornwall—from Dartmoor’s wild beauty and some of the South West’s excellent golf courses to historic houses and beautiful gardens, the golden beaches of the South Hams, and into Cornwall, where dramatic coastlines, Arthurian legend at Tintagel Castle, and unique attractions such as the Eden Project await.

For outdoor lovers, the dramatic South West Coast Path, scenic harbour cruises, independent cafés and seafood restaurants await, while the wider South West — including the stunning landscapes of Cornwall — offers charming villages, rugged countryside and beautiful beaches to discover.
We look forward to welcoming you to Hoe Park House.
