Royal William Yard Apartment

Great apartment in an excellent location. We will be back when visiting Plymouth.

Lovely apartment in great location which had everything we needed. Great host who was very helpful and welcoming.

Fabulous location, beautifully furnished immaculately clean and comfortable apartment.

Nothing to dislike

The Royal William Yard is a wonderful historic naval complex that has been repurposed into a vibrant community - condos, restaurants, shops, bars, businesses, etc. The weather was not the best during our stay, so it was ideal to have good choices within minutes of our accommodation. We went to 3 different restaurants during our time there - all were very good. Our apartment rental was most comfortable and the fact that parking space was available (at an extra, but not unreasonable cost in our opinion) just outside our windows was great. We were also happy to have access to a washing machine in the apartment! However, the biggest 'plus' has to be Nicky, the owner who was there to greet us (and to give us directions when we went off track on one of the roundabouts), and who was always available over the telephone afterwards with advice and instructions and to answer our questions. Just outside of our building, there is a small ferry which takes you quickly to the Barbican - very convenient.

While walking into the Plymouth centre is possible, it is not ideal as it does take some time and the route is not particularly interesting. We started out on our first day, but turned back because the weather was very cool and it was threatening to rain. The little ferry proved a much better option. I believe there is also a local bus that stops just outside the RWY gate.
