Best Plymouth holiday apartments

The history of Plymouth is inextricably linked to the sea thanks to its location in what is widely held to be the most impressive natural harbour in the world. Its position between the mouths of the Tamar and Plym rivers has made it a magnet for seafarers for thousands of years and given it a key role in British history. Twelve million people visit each year to explore its heritage, but if you rent a holiday apartment in Plymouth through 9flats you do not have to mingle with the crowds. With 9flats you stay in a privately owned apartment, a more comfortable arrangement than couchsurfing in Plymouth because you get to enjoy the privacy and independence of being in your own accommodation.

Step back in time from your Plymouth holiday flats

There is plenty to see and do from your holiday accommodation in Plymouth. This was where Sir Francis Drake set sail to do battle with the Spanish Armada and where the Mayflower set off from on the last leg of its journey carrying the Pilgrim Fathers to the new world of America. It is still an important naval port, the biggest in Western Europe, so is a fascinating destination for anyone with an interest in ships and the sea. The navy base is open to the public on Naval Days but the Plymouth Mayflower Museum is open all year-round offering a chance to travel through time all the way back to when the port was first established in the Bronze Age. Visit the Royal William Yard, where the British Navy was once provisioned, or experience the vastness of the harbour first hand on a boat tour.

Holiday apartments for exploring Devon and Cornwall

Your Plymouth holiday accommodation puts you right on the border between the beautiful English counties of Devon and Cornwall, making it an ideal base for exploring the history and natural wonders of the countryside. Walk coastal paths along Cornwall’s dramatic cliffs or experience the wild hills of Dartmoor National Park. 9flats has vacation homes in other parts of Devon as well so you might like to add a few nights to your itinerary in a holiday apartment in Torquay, known as the English Riviera for its unique climate and iconic palm trees. And if you need to stop off in a London holiday flat on your way home you will find hundreds to choose from on the 9flats site.
