Our 3 day 2 night stay in Plymouth was made all the more enjoyable by having booked into the Barbican Reach. We couldn't fault anything about the place. Our room was reasonably priced, clean, within walking distance of town, Barbican and The Hoe, and a breakfast to set you up for the day! Hosts Rob and Sue couldn't have been... More

I cannot recommend Barbican Reach highly enough. Rob and Sue are so friendly and welcoming, taking time to learn about you, offering support and advice to make your stay as fulfilled as it can possibly be, delivering an all round excellent customer service. Their rooms are bright, well equipped, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Location is ideal, with... More

We stayed at the Barbican Reach last weekend and it was great. We booked direct and our double room was £65 including breakfast. Rob made us feel very welcome and was so helpful taking up our suitcases for us and recommending local restaurants etc. Our room was in the attic and was spotlessly clean and tidy with a large comfortable...

Excellent all round stay. Clean, comfortable, quiet, friendly with a great choice for a great hearty breakfast with quality food. Walking distance to Barbican. (4 mins) Would definitely use again every time.

We stayed for 1 night as we were visiting family for the evening. It was the perfect location for exploring the Barbican and Hoe area. We were given a very warm welcome by Rob and Sue, really lovely hosts. Rob had very good local knowledge which helped in our exploring of the area. Our bedroom and shower room were spotlessly...

Had a fab stay here, the location for the barbican was fantastic,lots to do there. The room we had was spotlessly clean even the towels smelt of fabric softener. All in all this place is great to stay and we'll definitely come back!

When we staid at The Barbican Reach we were given a warm and genuine welcome which was extended all the way through our stay. Rob was an excellent host and was very knowledgeable about the area and where to go. Breakfast was amazing. My partner and I made sure we were up early so we didn't miss out! I would... More

Can't sing rob's praises enough.. He was always polite and helpful and let us stay an extra night at late notice. Breakfast (get the raft!!!!!) was always really tasty and the rooms were perfect for what we needed, somewhere to rest our head and relax a little. Rob was always on hand with advice of places to go and restaurants... More

I didn't stay at this guest house as originally intended as when I rang and spoke to the gentleman concerned I was amazed at his rudeness and lack of customer service. I rang at 5pm and enquired if they had any late offers/deals for that evening only to be told "this isn't a butchers shop!" - This is 2012 though,... More

When this chap rang, his first words were 'I need a room for tonight, are you doing any deals, mate?' He hadn't even enquired as to the price. I found his tone to be abrupt, verging on being rude, hence my rather flippant response. However, I have been in this business long enough to appreciate that some people can have... More

Rob & Sue provide a very clean hotel with good facilities and an excellent personal service topped with a superb breakfast cooked to order and delivered nice and hot! Close to the barbican and a stones throw from the Hoe, it is superbly located. R&J Wiltshire
