Well this week resulted in me finally completing the sale to purchase my new house in Cornwall, but the only problem was that Cornwall is still into the holiday season so most hotels were still fully booked up. HELP! What was I to do as being disabled; many Guest Houses and Bed and Breakfasts are unsuitable for my needs. So after looking on the Internet, I found a room at Plymouth Hoe Moat House Hotel.

There seems to be reasonably ample car parking space, but during the height of the holiday season I think parking places are at a premium. Well there are two hundred and ten bedrooms in this quality hotel, which is situated both close to the sea and the town centre. You are charges £3.50 to park for the duration of your stay but you need to pick up a token at reception when you want to leave the site. There are at least three disabled parking bays underground near the stairs and lifts.

There is twenty-four hour room service and families are catered for with cots and baby-sitting facilities too. There is also a children's play area too.

The hotel seemed to be more for holidaymakers but I believe there are also conference facilities here too but there was lots of coach parties staying during Shane’s and my stay this week.

It surprised me what a lovely hotel this was. Our double-bedded room was large and faced the harbour. We had sliding full-length double glazes windows with safety rails. The beds were both comfortable. The heater unit also acted as an air conditioner too. There are superb facilities ensure that you have a comfortable and luxurious stay in of Plymouth's only four-star hotel situated on the harbour. It is right opposite the Drake monument where he played bowls whilst the Spanish Armada sailed up the English Channel.

The bedrooms, many with breathtaking sea views across Plymouth's historic Hoe and the city itself, are luxuriously appointed each with en-suite bathroom. Each room has a direct-dial from bedroom along with sky television (limited channels) and Tea/Coffee making facilities too. If you upgrade to a Crown Package then you get the use of towelling gowns, filter coffee, fruit juice and spring water plus extra toiletries.

There is a modern leisure complex, including swimming pool and gym called Club Motivation, there is also a separate fittest studio for aerobics and similar functions. In additional it also features a Sauna, Steam room, Solarium, Jacuzzi spa, Gymnasium, and Beauty Saloon. The prices here are very reasonable and I love to have some of the available treatments. There is a leisure package that you can book directly from the Moat House holiday brochure.

Dinner is avalible on the Penthouse in “elliots”, this new-look contemporary restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. You need to take the lift to the Terrace Bar were you can enjoy a variety of cocktail, wine or beer while taking in the panoramic views across Plymouth Sound and the City. It is beautiful at night with the lights twinkling. The sparkling Blue Ribboned Restaurant with its panoramic sea views, diners enjoy a wide choice of delicious a la carte or table d’hôte dishes in the sumptuous surroundings of what looks like a great ocean liners. You can have food with a view, well that is if you have a head for heights. Plymouth Hoe Moat House Hotel seafood dishes on the a la carte contains are prepared from the best of the catch brought fresh each day from the Barbican, BUT the menu is generally the same as found at any other Moat House though out Great Britain.

The hotel also has its own restaurant, “elliots”, for the residence enjoyment and offers a carvery menu along with an a la carte one too in the evenings along with its large lounge and bar for relaxing in on the top floor. There is also a bar on the ground floor too. If you do not want to leave your room them you can use the twenty-four hour room service. The sandwiches are huge very tasty too! The food usually arrives within the time scale mentioned on ordering. My mouth is now watering at the thought of it yet again.
