Lighthouse View Plymouth, Devon

Holiday Rental Description

Devon is truly a region of many faces. One minute you can be in the lush, rolling greens of Dartmoor National Park, then eleven miles away you’re in an ornate Victorian manor on the coast of the English Channel. This home is simply bursting with history. Built in 1860, certain apartments in the building have been home to some very famous historical figures – Nancy Astor and Arthur Conan Doyle are former residents, with other visitors including Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin. With a whole host of celebrity guests, it’s only fitting that you should also feel like a VIP in this luxury adobe. Inside, you’ll find a traditional-style decor, with plump velvet sofas, an original marble fireplace, and patterned wallpapers. Chandeliers and grand, upholstered armchairs make this living and dining space fit for royalty. Take in the spectacular view of Plymouth Sound from the huge sash windows or out on the private balcony. Sitting with a gin and tonic, overlooking the water is a wonderful way to spend a summer’s afternoon. And if you’re in need of yet more lush greenery, you’re just a seven-minute stroll from the vast Hoe Park.
