The CARANEAL is a long - established, family-run guesthouse where you are assured of a warm welcome from proprietors Max & Veronica Crosland. We are ideally situated just off the seafront, opposite West Hoe Park, with not-too-distant views of Smeaton's Tower standing proudly on the Hoe, within easy walking distance of the City and the Barbican.

If the purpose of your visit to Plymouth is a trip to the theatre or to see a show both Plymouth Pavilions and Theatre Royal are only a few minutes walk away. Our close proximity to Brittany Ferries Terminal will give you those precious extra minutes in bed if you have an early sailing! All rooms are en-suite with 2 on the ground floor, ensuring easy access for our "not too sprightly" guests.
Services
A short stroll along the seafront will bring you to the Barbican, the heart of Plymouth's long maritime history. From here the Pilgrim Fathers set sail on the Mayflower. You will find yourself spoiled for choice with restaurants and bars to suit every taste and budget where you can choose to dine inside or out.
This access statement does not contain personal opinions as to our suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the facilities and services that we offer all our guests/visitors. Situated in West hoe, overlooking a small park, with views to Plymouth's famous Hoe and a short walk to seafront.

Overnight stop six minutes from ferry. Lovely clean bedroom, with very comfortable beds. Quality furnishings and bedding. Shower room was exceptional clean, spacious and well laid out.
There is a park with playground opposite so not overlooked. Parking permit given to enable onroad parking outside the house. Very quiet street, didn't hear any noise over night. Slept very well.
Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order.
Excellent value for money. Owner and staff polite, friendly and welcoming. We will certainly use again. Thank you

Despite this being my first ever stay at Caraneal, Veronica greeted me like an old friend and made me feel very welcome.
I would definitely recommend staying at Caraneal 👍

Friendly and helpful hosts. Our room was a little warm at night, even with the windows open but otherwise everything was very comfortable. Have another stay in Plymouth next year and plan to head back here. The hosts are currently operating at reduced occupancy as a covid precaution.

I stayed here for one night with my son. The room was good with a fantastic new bathroom and powerful shower. The location was excellent. Being able to walk along the Hoe to all the fabulous restaurants and attractions at the Barbican made the location hard to beat. Good breakfast. Highly recommended.
