WHY CHOOSE HOE PARK HOUSE...?
What sets Hoe Park House apart as a holiday let is that it is not just a standard vacation rental, but also our family home. It exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, with original artworks and luxurious fittings and furniture adding an extra touch of elegance.
Moreover, the size of the house is truly remarkable, offering ample space for everyone. The bedrooms and sitting rooms are generously proportioned, allowing guests to socialise with family and friends or find a quiet space to enjoy some personal time with a book. The open plan kitchen, with its contemporary design, has been a favourite among our guests, providing a stunning and convivial space for gatherings and enjoyment.
What truly makes Hoe Park House unique, however, is its exceptional location. Within a two-minute walk, guests can access the coast, bars, restaurants, cafes, and more. However, despite being in the vibrant heart of historic Plymouth, Hoe Park House is situated in a small, quiet cul-de-sac, and faces the beautiful Hoe Park, creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
We believe that the combination of a welcoming family home, spaciousness, luxurious amenities, and an unbeatable location makes Hoe Park House a truly exceptional choice for a holiday let.
