The Bowling Green Hotel, Plymouth, UK

At the hotel door I was met by Tom, a down-to-earth friendly fellow originally from Liverpool. 'But we just luf it 'ere.' He showed me my room on the top floor overlooking the Hoe, a green park area; the only room with a bathtub.

The blue star on the map shows the hotel's terrific location, only about a block away from the Promenade with its view of The Sound.


Not luxurious but the room was clean and perfectly comfortable. This is one of two rooms I stayed in here. There were only two issues with this top floor room: the heat and internet connections at times. I felt safe here, the owners were friendly, and the breakfasts were good.

I wasn't expecting to see a big Ferris wheel in The Hoe, just outside my window.  Many a dog owner would stroll through this corner of the park and not clean up after his/her pet. I had the impression there were no noise or animal control bylaws in Plymouth judging by the amount of barking that went on.

The bathroom with bath tub. :-)

A little desk.

Kitkats appeared on the tray every day and I ate every one of them.

Breakfast room. TV/living room out of view in front to the left - sometimes I emailed from there.
