The Firs Bed and Breakfast

About The Firs Bed and Breakfast

The Firs is a small, family-run bed and breakfast on Pier Street, around 400 yards from Plymouth Hoe seafront and within easy walking distance of the Barbican, city centre and National Marine Aquarium. Run by owners Dan and Izabella, it has built a strong local reputation and holds an AA four-star rating, unusually high for a B&B of its size.

The nine guest bedrooms are configured as singles, doubles, twins and family rooms, each with free WiFi, a colour television and tea and coffee facilities, along with complimentary toiletries and towels. The property holds a five-star food hygiene rating, and rooms are kept to a consistently high standard of cleanliness and finish for an owner-run guest house.

Breakfast is served each morning with a full English, vegetarian and continental options, cooked to order and using good local ingredients, and it is one of the aspects guests mention most often in reviews. The owners are on hand to advise on restaurants, walking routes and getting around the city, giving the stay a more personal feel than a larger hotel.

Its position on Pier Street puts Plymouth Hoe, the Barbican, Theatre Royal and Plymouth Argyle's Home Park all within easy reach on foot, and the train and coach stations and ferry port are also a manageable walk away. The Firs suits couples and small families looking for a well-run, personally managed B&B in a good location, at a noticeably lower rate than the hotels along the Hoe.
