Rainbow Lodge on Plymouth Hoe

Rainbow Lodge is a charming Grade II listed 11-bedroom Bed and Breakfast on Plymouth Hoe.

It was built before Charles Darwin set sail for the Galapagos Islands to create the theory of evolution. The building has evolved too, from a large house to apartments and then about 20 years ago to the small hotel that it houses now.

We offer guests comfortable rooms (7 en-suite/4 standard) of varyinq size all featuring crisp white linen, Oxford pillows, daily chambermaid cleaning service, hairdryers, colour TV, and tea and coffee making facilities.

Our satisfying breakfasts are designed to please all tastes including our Detox Special and traditional French croissants and pastry as well as Full English.

Rainbow Lodge provides a clean and quiet environment to non-smoking guests (100% non smoking since early 2007) who are not travelling without young children or pets.

Plymouth's main attractions are all nearby including the beuatiful vista of Plymouth Sound, the main shopping centre, the Barbican's antiques, art shops and night life,the city's main theatres, the Pavilions and the Central Business District and University.

Rainbow Lodge is also beautifully placed for visitors that want to experience any of the areas of outstanding natural beauty in South Devon. These are all easy to reach by car or public transport, each offering its truly unforgettable beauty in return for a little exertion.

Dartmoor has many possibilities for active nature lovers: climbing its granite tors, walking around the many lakes, visiting the ancient sites of prehistoric settlement, enjoying the beautiful waterfalls that adorn its valleys or simply exploring 365 square miles of the most famous wilderness in England.

But Dartmoor is only one of three areas of outstanding natural beauty that surround Plymouth. How about heading East along the A379 for a nice long walk along the South West Coast Path around Bigbury Bay? This is in the South Hams area of outstanding natural beauty, and despite its remote areas the coastline includes marvellous harbour inlets and some of the best beaches in Devon.

Or head North West and try a third area of outstanding natural beauty that adjoins Plymouth, the Tamar valley. Crossed by a network of paths, the valley possesses some of the most beautiful and unspoilt scenery in England and is an important habitat for wildlife, especially birds.

In addition to these opportunities, Cornwall lies close by too. With access via the Torpoint Ferry or the Tamar Bridge, you can sson be in the famous fishing centre of Looe or walking the historic streets of Polperro.

Cars can be a boon when touring all these places, but they can also spell trouble in city centres. Our parking solutions will avoid this for you.
