Living with Host
Ferry House is my home and I love living here.
The room I rent to theatre peeps is bright and spacious, has a super comfy double bed and a place to hang clothes! It also has a desk, should you feel like writing/studying/working!
The house is home! There’s a sitting room with an open fire, a big kitchen with everything you need if you cook, and a utility room to wash clothes which also has a loo. There is one shared bathroom upstairs Will a super sized shower.
Generally it’s just me here, and Max the cat, but occasionally one of my children might be staying too - there’s a 3rd bedroom for them!
Outside there’s a courtyard garden which often looks much better in the summer than the winter! Ha ha. But, just a short ferry ride across the water takes you to Mount Edgecumbe and there are miles of grassland and woods to explore there!
The house is pretty quiet 95% of the time. I have friends over occasionally and I love baking!
Guest Parking
There’s a free car park behind the house to leave your car for the week … if you’re driving.
The Area and Transport
Ferry House is 30 metres from the sea, on a small peninsula which feels like a village but is only 20 minutes walk into town and the theatre. There is a bus stop outside that also takes you into town which runs every 30 minutes.
Although I don’t swim from the house, the sea at the end of the road (5 minute walk) is perfect for a dip and I go there daily.
The Royal William Yard is also 5 minutes walk away, an old victualling yard turned into accommodation and shops and cafes … it’s a great place to explore and eat and drink.
I love living here - perhaps you’d love it too??

Had a lovely stay with Jayne and Max the cat. Beautiful home and Jayne was kind and so accommodating of my very late check in. I recommend her to anyone touring who needs a quiet homely atmosphere.
15th Jun 2026
Thanks Nicky. It was great to have you here and glad you found it relaxing!
Jayne was a great host who made me feel very welcome and relaxed in her lovely home. A short walk to the theatre and with the sea at the end of the street, this is a fabulous place to stay.
14th Mar 2026
It was a pleasure to meet you Patrick and thank you for your kind words here! I wish you every success with the tour and do please come and stay again if you’re ever in Plymouth.
This was one of the best stays so far on tour. Jayne was very warm and friendly and I felt very much at home in her place, which is very close to the trendy part of town. The room is very comfortable and I enjoyed walking to the theatre! I highly recommend 🫶
22nd Dec 2025
Thank you for your lovely words Hemi, I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay!
I had a wonderful stay! Comfortable, great location, and a cat companion! Highly recommend!! :)
1st Dec 2025
Thanks Kate! It was great to meet you and max is definitely missing his new friend!
I had such a great stay at Jayne's place. As well as the property being a clean, comfortable and relaxing, she is super friendly and welcoming and even left out some beautiful vegetarian food for me after a double show day! 😋 It is right next to the ferry to Mount Edgcumbe where there is an amazing Parkrun with beautiful views. It's conveniently located about 20 mins walk from theatre royal. Highly recommend!
21st Oct 2025
Jayne was a wonderful host! I felt so welcome and at home from the minute I walked in! Lovely 20minute walk to the theatre and 5minutes from the best bagels I’ve ever had!
Highly recommend :)
2nd Oct 2025
Delighted you enjoyed both the house and the bagels!! Enjoy the tour and see you again one day I hope!
Jayne ia a very warm and friendly host. I had a lovely comfy stay with her and Max (who is the sweetest cat). The room and bed is very clean and comfy and the shower is gorgeous. I’d definitely want to stay with Jayne again if I’m in Plymouth.
16th Aug 2025
Thank you Melanie - I'm so pleased you liked the house ... and Max too! Do please come and stay again if ever you're here!
The best time with lovely Jayne, absolutely recommend staying here when you’re in Plymouth! 🍾
22nd Jul 2025
An excellent base in Plymouth from which to enjoy the nearby Royal William Yard or pop over to Cornwall from, and an easy stroll to the Theatre Royal (although there's also a convenient bus stop for those days when you'd rather not walk). Both Jayne and her house are a delight - as is Max, the friendliest cat you'll likely ever meet! - and I had some of the best nights' sleeps of the tour here. The walk-in shower is another welcome luxury, too! Highly recommended.
21st Jul 2025
Thank you for your kind words Jan - it was a pleasure to host you! It was so nice of you to but some of my cards too - thank you 🙏🏻 I hope your family enjoyed them!
Jayne was a joy to stay with during my time in Plymouth. The house is exactly as described, with a gorgeous bathroom, and placed with such an easy walk to the centre and amazingly close to Royal William Yard. Jayne’s a fabulous host (and an amazing artist!), who kept me informed and happy all the way through the month. I’ll be happy to stay here again!!
20th Apr 2025
Oh Brad, thank you for your kind words and I’d be more than happy to see you again whenever you’re in Plymouth. Enjoy the tour! Jayne
This was a 1wk stay whilst on tour to TRP. I wasn't around much but really appreciated being able to come back to such a comfy bed! Jayne was responsive before my arrival & during my stay and made me feel so welcome in her home - as did lovely Max the cat!
The location is a straightforward 25min walk to the theatre, and right by a historic dockyard that now has various places to eat/drink/shop/gym . The sea is literally on your doorstep!
Thank you for a wonderful 1st time to Plymouth!
19th Feb 2025
It was a pleasure to meet you Payvand, and although as you said, we didn’t see much of each other, it was lovely chatting when we did. I’m delighted you liked the house and found it comfortable-a home from home. Good luck with the tour and I hope you’re getting rested soon.
Where to start? This was a wonderful stay and very welcoming and homely. Jayne was amazing as was Max the cat. Can’t recommend this place high enough. Proximity to the ferry to Mount Edgcombe is insanely close as are the wealth of restaurants and cool coffee shops at the Royal William Dock. I’ll DEFINITELY be returning! X
27th Jan 2025
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you Rodney and I can’t wait for you to return! Thanks a million for being a great house guest! Enjoy the rest of the show!!
A beautiful home. Jayne and Max (the cat!) are wonderful hosts. So warm and welcoming. The comfiest sleep I've had on tour by a country mile and overall the best digs I've ever stayed in. Could not recommend highly enough! Hope to be back soon! Thank you Jayne! x
12th Dec 2024
Thank you so much Chris, I’m delighted to know you enjoyed your stay so much - it was an absolute delight to meet you and a pleasure to have you stay! Do please come back again sometime soon - always welcome! Enjoy the rest of the tour!
A great Host to stay with. About a 15 min walk to the theatre- and the walk is LOVELY. Very safe at night and gorgeous views during the day. The beds and rooms were very clean and lovely. A great stay- highly recommend.
8th Oct 2024
Thank you Harriet - what a lovely review!
I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay - do come again!
I had a lovely week staying with Jayne at Ferry house and will certainly be returning next time I’m working in Plymouth. Comfy room in great area, lovey host, 3in walk to theatre and great little cafe across the road.
27th Sep 2024
Thanks Denny - I look forward to seeing you when you’re this way again!
I loved my stay with Jayne, she made me feel at home and comfortable which is exactly what I needed!
I would recommend her house to anyone. Great location to get to the Royal William Yard for food and Devils Point for sea swimming. The theatre is a 25 min walk or 5 mins in a taxi. Jayne’s home is clean, cozy and full of life.
21st Aug 2024
Thank you for this lovely review Emily - it was a pleasure to meet you and have you to stay! See you again one day I hope!
Had a great stay at Jayne’s, and is a short walk to the TRP, Jayne was very friendly. Would stay again if back in Plymouth!
5th Jun 2024
Thank you for this review Matthew - it was lovely to have you to stay, do come and stay again!
Jayne And Max were wonderful hosts, and I felt very welcome. The location is epic, well served, and an easy 20 minute walk to the Theatre. The sea is less than 30 metres, with the foot ferry to Cornwall on the jetty. Bed very comfy, and the shower was excellent! Thanks both, for welcoming me into your lovely home!
22nd Apr 2024
It was a real pleasure to meet you Griff and thank you for your kind words here. Happy tour and do come and stay again!
Absolutely beautiful home in a lovely spot right by the sea! Thoroughly enjoyed my time here and felt very welcome even though I never met Jayne. Max the cat was great company :). Would 100% recommend! Thank you for having me
17th Apr 2024
Jayne’s digs are lovely and in a great location. Loved hanging out with Max the cat too! Thanks for a great week. X
15th Apr 2024
Hollie, it was a real pleasure to have you here! I'm delighted you liked the house - and the location!
Thank you so much for leaving it all so beautifully clean and tidy too - and making friends with Max! Safe travels, Jayne
Jayne was a fab host for the small time I spent with her. Great, clean house with a comfy bed. Excellent communication and Max the cat is the sweetest. Would definitely recommend!
2nd Apr 2024
Thank you so much for these kind words Adam! Max is missing you! 😂
A lovely stay in a comfortable, quiet cottage, a stone's throw from the landing for the Cremyll ferry, full of character and Jayne's artwork. I especially appreciated being able to make use of the kitchen to prepare meals and the bathroom containing a brilliant power shower. Approx 22-25 minutes walk to the Theatre Royal. Jayne and her friends were so friendly and welcoming. I would happily stay again!
15th Mar 2024
Thank you Sharita. You are always welcome again!
Fantastic host and really great place to stay. Easy bus journey to the venue. Highly recommend this accommodation and I will most definitely be staying again next time I am in Plymouth. The cat is gorgeous too!
27th Nov 2023
Savannah - it was an absolute pleasure to host you on your first tour with Matthew Bournes New Adventures. Thank you for your kind words and I look forward to your return one day soon! Enjoy every minute!
I had a lovely stay with Jayne. Very cosy house, comfortable bed. The location was great with the Ferry to Cornwall being steps away from the house. Very easy walk to the theatre royal and plenty of shops nearby (Aldi and Lidl just around the corner). I didn't use the Kitchen but full facilities and space was available if I'd wished. Bonus points for Max the cat who was adorable!!
13th Nov 2023
Sorry you didn't have time to use the kitchen but thanks for being so lovely to Max. He's missing you! Thanks too for the kind review. do come and stay again if you're ever in Plymouth.
An excellent stay with a very friendly, well communicating host. It really is like a little art gallery by the docks, and just a 20 min walk to TRP. Clean, really great shower, and a comfy bed. Little Max the cat is a great addition. Definitely will be on my list for the next tour!
6th Nov 2023
Thanks for saying lovely things Ashton, and being a great guest. Looking forward to seeing you next time you’re in Plymouth! 😊
Lovely house and big room right by the water - about a 15/20 minute walk from TRP but well serviced by buses. Jayne was a fantastic host, I'll hopefully be back on the next job!
30th Oct 2023
Jasmine you’d always be welcome! Thanks for choosing to stay here and see you again one day I hope!
Another peaceful, restful stay with Jayne. Looking forward to coming back next year. Thanks Jayne!
17th Oct 2023
You’re always welcome Andy … delighted you like staying here!
Jayne is so friendly with great communication, her home is so welcoming and peaceful, the room is a great size with a very comfy bed perfect after the long days at the theatre 10/10 highly recommend
25th Sep 2023
Oh thank you so much for this great review Jade 😊 I’m thrilled it was all good for you! Safe travels and come back again when you’re in Plymouth! Jayne
Jayne was an absolute dream - so friendly and welcoming and her place is absolutely lovely…not mentioning the beautiful sea view on the doorstop and only a 20 minute walk to the theatre! Thanks so much, will definitely be back again x
21st Jun 2023
It was a delight to have you to stay Lydia. You’re welcome anytime - and thanks for your kind words here! 🌸
I had the most wonderful stay at Jayne's. I came away feeling rested and restored! Everything is as pictured - the house is clean, quiet and homely. Jayne is a wonderful host and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
22nd Mar 2023
Thanks for this Andy - I’m delighted you had a good stay and left rested and relaxed. Hope to see you again when you’re in Plymouth 🌸
My favourite digs by far, I didn't want to leave. Only wish my working hours didn't mean I was out so often - lovely balance of your own space & being able to have a cup of tea & a chat with Jayne if you fancied it. Very comfy bed & lovely shower too
2nd Mar 2023
It was lovely to meet you Laurie and I’m delighted you enjoyed your time here! Thank you!
Jayne was lovely and I was very pleased to have the privilege of Max, the cat, who was my cuddle Buddy for the week. Beautiful house!
12th Feb 2023
Thanks for befriending Max the cat and your kind words. Enjoy the rest of the show!
Jayne and her son were friendly and helped make my stay an easy one. They accommodated my requests and I appreciate that. However, I do wish a couple of things had been different: the readiness of the room, the heat, and the tidiness of the kitchen.
1st Dec 2022
I’m sorry things weren’t quite how you wanted them Eli. I think England is colder than you’re used to and as you said, customs are different. I hope you enjoy the rest of the tour.
Loved staying here. Jayne is so friendly and warm that it felt like a home from home. It was so close to the sea that I felt more on holiday than there for work. Thank you 🙏
24th Oct 2022
It’s a holiday every day living by the sea! Delighted you enjoyed your stay - thanks for your kind words
Jayne was a brilliant host! Was always in hand to help if needed and was super friendly and lovely to chat to! The room was stunning, really comfortable bed and the shower was to die for! Would absolutely stay here again
21st Jun 2022
Best hosted digs I’ve ever stayed in! Jayne is generous and welcoming with her lovely home. A very comfy bed and stunning shower. A 20 minute walk to the theatre but worth it to be so close to the lovely Royal William Yard! I’ll be booking again! X
13th Jun 2022
Thank you Adam - I’m beaming!!!!
It was a real pleasure to have you to stay - thanks for feeding Max and know you’re welcome back anytime! Happy tour!
These are lovely digs. Jayne has a beautiful house and her & Max the cat are delightful. I had such a comfortable stay. Black cab back at night only £6.50!
16th Mar 2022
How lovely of you Susannah - thank you 😊 Do come and stay again if you’re in Plymouth!
Really lovely stay! House was particularly beautiful and Jayne was very kind.
4th Mar 2022
Thank you so much Izzy.
I hope you’re better soon and visit Plymouth (again) sometime!
Jayne made my stay at Ferry House very welcoming - her and Max (the cat) were lovely hosts and I would highly recommend! Lovely room and very close to local amenities and the theatre. I can’t wait to come back and stay again! X
21st Feb 2022
It was a pleasure to have you here Lucy and you’re welcome back anytime! Good luck with the tour 🌸

7th Feb 2022
We loved having you here Toby - thanks for being such a great guest (& new bst friend to Max the cat!!) Have a fabulous tour and do come and stay again one day!
Lovely stay with Jayne, very accommodating and friendly, room is spacious and bright. A fair stroll to the theatre but easy enough, lovely area, close to good facilities.
26th Dec 2021
Thanks Dan - it was great having you to stay … I hope you’re enjoying a little break before the next run?!
Oh my goodness what a gorgeous place to stay! Right by the water. I felt instantly at home. Jayne is SO wonderful..I felt like I'd known her for years. The bed is super comfy in a very cosy room and the shower is to die for! :) Thanks Jayne x
17th Dec 2021
Thank you so much Kraig - you’re too kind! Delighted you loved being here and obviously you’re welcome again anytime.
Jayne was kind and friendly even giving me a lift to the theatre on arrival. Lovely comfy bed. Walkable to theatre would recommend pre-booking a taxi home.
25th Oct 2021

4th Oct 2018
I had a wonderful stay with Jayne in her lovely waterside house in Plymouth. She was very friendly and welcoming and the room was comfortably and homely. Will definitely try to stay again next time I'm in Plymouth. Thanks!
22nd Aug 2018
Thanks Joe - it was great to meet you. I'm putting the door key on a huge fluffy keyring in future! See you again I hope!

7th Aug 2018
Aw thanks David. It was really great having you here ... come & stay again soon I hope!
