"Amazing stay at China Fleet. The staff were incredibly helpful on arrival and had us checked in quickly. We were given one of the cottages which was beautifully appointed and had everything we could need. The swimming and spa facilities were amazing! The kitchen was lovely to cook in and housekeeping had provided everything you could think of! The cottage even had a private garden with a picnic bench where we could eat. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely! I’d highly recommend staying there to anyone!"

"This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this hotel. This time we booked a family room with a bed settee, which was situated on the Plymouth Pavillions side of the hotel, which was a lot quieter than the road at the front of the hotel (we don’t have a main road where we live, so not used to the traffic noise) . It was nice to have air conditioning in our room this time, although the unit could have done with a service, to make it more efficient. Staff were cheerful and helpful as ever, and even managed to get us an early check in. We will be back :)"
