We live on a quiet road close to all amenities. There are two parks within a 2 or 3 minute walk and both the University of Plymouth and the city centre are only a 10 or 15 minute walk away.
My name is Bev. I love languages and I also enjoy cooking, watching movies, music, gigs, festivals, reading, travel, nature, and board games
My partner's name is Dan. He enjoys cooking, watching movies, music, gigs, festivals, reading, travel, learning foreign languages, and nature. He also loves playing guitar.
We have 2 dogs that are very friendly and love having visitors. However, please do not worry if you are not an animal lover - they are not allowed upstairs and they should not disturb you if you prefer to be left alone.
We want our guests to feel as comfortable as possible. We do not mind if you prefer to keep to yourself. Equally, we are more than happy to share our evenings (and mealtimes) with you. The choice is yours.
Additional Info:
Guests are welcome to share our evening meal with us.
The room rate includes the following services: washing machine usage and internet access.
If you are arriving at Plymouth coach station or train station at a reasonable hour and would like to be picked up, please let me know - I am happy to do that if I am available.

Nous avons passé 2 nuits chez Bev & Dan, ma compagne, sa mère et moi.
Ce sont des hôtes d'une extrême gentillesse et d'une grande générosité. Ils sont très accueillants, et nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. Nous avons pu profiter de leurs chambres librement ainsi que des salles de bain à notre guise, ce qui est très appréciable.
Bev & Dan, ce sont aussi d'excellents guides, qui nous ont invité à partager un repas avec leurs amis au pub du coin ou encore conseiller sur les activités de Plymouth.
Bev est une très bonne cuisinière et Dan un musicien très doué.
Leurs chiens Bear & Barn sont tous deux adorables et absolument pas gênants, bien au contraire.
On sent vraiment qu'ils aiment recevoir et nous avons de très bons moments en leur compagnie. Vous pouvez les choisir les yeux fermés.
Encore un grand merci à eux pour avoir fait de notre séjour une réussite.April 2022
I had the best time with Bev and Dan. They always cooked delicious meals and made everything to make their guests feel comfortable. Because of Bev, Dan, Lily and Barney, Plymouth became a second home to me. They are the best hosts one could ever wish for. I would certainly give more stars if I could (-: Thank you so much for everything! <3

Brilliant hosts, really could not ask for nicer people, i was made to feel like a family member and will go back many times to spend time with them

I felt immediately very well in their homey house, lovely welcome. Bev and Dan treated me as a friend, not as a guest. I stayed two weeks with them, to develop my English. Bev was a good English-teacher. Both were good cook and the best hosts ever. They're great generous and we did a lot of trips. I would definitely stay here and have already recommended it to my friends. Thank you, Bev and Dan!

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
