About Caledonia Guest House
Rooms at Caledonia Guest House come with their own en-suite bathroom and a tray of drinks to make on arrival, a simple but welcome touch after a day out. Reception is staffed around the clock, so late check-ins or early departures are no trouble, and Wi-Fi is included throughout for anyone needing to stay connected.
Breakfast is served each morning, setting guests up before they head out to explore Plymouth. The guest house sits on Athenaeum Street, within easy reach of the Barbican and the wider attractions of the city, and free on-site parking makes it a sensible base for those arriving by car.
Beyond the front door there's plenty to fill a stay, with pubs, restaurants and entertainment all nearby, along with golf, fishing and watersports for those wanting to get outdoors. It's a no-frills option that covers the essentials well, suited to visitors who want a comfortable room and a convenient Plymouth address rather than added extras.
What guests say
It came to light that this place does not offer breakfast so it isn't advertised properly in the majority of places. I did phone and talk to the owner Jeffrey and he stated he has no control over what is advertised. I should have booked directly with him or only Booking.com. I went anyway because I'm not used to booking things or cancelling things and stayed for two nights. Unfortunately it wasn't a particularly relaxing experience though the room was clean and tidy I felt like an unwanted visitor in their own home. After checking in I didn't see anyone for two days at all. I was kept awake by banging, cooking smells in the owners accommodation and a very very loud snoring man in the room above which obviously can't be helped by the owners. I checked out at 6am on the second morning after no sleep at all and was feeling exhausted and miserable. I would never stay at the Caledonia again. It might suit some people but unfortunately it was not brilliant in my experience 😕

In response to the owner's reply on my original review. I spoke to Jeffrey on the phone once. Personally I don't think anyone goes on a very rare break and just look for things to complain about. I just wanted a pleasant experience and a well earned rest neither of which I received. The owner's response to my review displays very clearly the type of people they are. Avoid this place completely. Nobody checks out at 6am when nothing is open if they are having an enjoyable time!

Had to to leave a hotel due to owners illness and Jeff was very accommodating and very helpful in putting me in a room on second floor because I have a broken knee and was on crutches. The room was lovely and clean as was on suite and the bedding was lovely crisp sheets and very comfy beds in deed. Little private car park at the rear was a bonus. I will 100% stay here again as I visit Plymouth twice a year. Thanks for all your help. I wish all guest house hosts were as good x

After staying in a different hotel/guest- house for 14 days this was my favourite place! The hosts were absolutely lovely, welcomed us in and carried my suitcase to the very top floor. The bedrooms were beautifully clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable with crisp sheets. The shared bathroom was immaculate with spare toiletries and towels. Location is amazing, with ten minute walk to the Barbican and even shorter walk to the coast where we swam. The harbour and aquarium is also a short walk away! I highly recommend this guest house, you won’t be disappointed!
