Where to stay in Stonehouse
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
The Tamar is the reference. Stonehouse holds the Devon bank at the mouth of the estuary, which places a room here between the Plymouth streets the old town was merged into and the Cornwall shore inside Mount Edgcumbe Country Park. The Church of St Peter stands close by.
Beds gather in Plymouth proper rather than in what was East Stonehouse.

About Stonehouse
What are the main landmarks in Stonehouse?
Stonehouse's entries are all churches, three of them. The Church of St Andrew at Stoke Damarel, the Church of St Peter and the Church of St Paul are the whole of it, which leaves the water and the far bank to supply whatever else there is to look at from here. Mount Edgcumbe Country Park lies across in Cornwall, on the ground where West Stonehouse stood until 1350.
What is the history of Stonehouse?
Three towns became one. East Stonehouse was amalgamated with the other two into modern-day Plymouth, in the ceremonial county of Devon, and it is that settlement, on the Devon side of the mouth of the Tamar estuary, which carries the name Stonehouse. West Stonehouse fared worse.
The French destroyed the village in 1350, and its site lies inside Mount Edgcumbe Country Park in Cornwall. The Church of St Andrew at Stoke Damarel, the Church of St Peter and the Church of St Paul stand among the buildings recorded here.
