Where to stay in Mutley
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Rooms here are Plymouth rooms. The district's beds belong to the city's wider supply, which means the practical question is whether you want a residential street near St Matthias' Church or something closer to the centre of Plymouth itself. Mutley suits the second sort of traveller less well, since its named houses, Colson House, Mannamead House, The Headmasters House, sit among streets that stay residential.
The Church of St Gabriel marks the other end.

About Mutley
What are the main landmarks in Mutley?
Three churches anchor the district. The Church of St Gabriel, the Church of Emmanuel and St Matthias' Church each stand within it, and between them they account for the most prominent public buildings that Mutley is recorded as holding. Houses supply the rest.
Colson House, Mannamead House, The Headmasters House and Standerton House are all set down here by name, a run of separate buildings rather than one showpiece.
What is the history of Mutley?
Mutley enters the archive without a charter date. What the record keeps instead is an inventory of buildings, the Church of Emmanuel, St Matthias' Church, Colson House, Mannamead House, the kind of list that survives when a district's past is told through its fabric rather than through dates. Plymouth surrounds it.
The Headmasters House and Standerton House carry names of their own, which is the closest thing the district has to a written past.
Where is Mutley?
Streets, churches and named houses fill the district's ground, which belongs wholly to Plymouth and carries the Church of St Gabriel among its landmarks.
