Where to stay in West Hoe
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
No station is named here. Beds cluster in Plymouth rather than in West Hoe, so the sensible booking is a city room, with the Royal William Victualling Yard and the Firestone Bay artillery tower left as the reason to walk out this way. Two officers' houses stand on the same list.
Anyone drawn by the observation tower by the Dome, or by the Commanding Officers House, will still sleep in the wider city.
