Easy to find perfect for overnight stay in Plymouth centre
Simon -
Parking at McCauleys Health & Sport, PL1
Easy and convenient for bike trip to Brittany ferries. Would use again.
Georgina -
Parking on Peel Street, PL1
Good secure space and friendly owner. Close to the Brittany Ferry. Bit tricky to find (No.21 doesn't come up our Satnav, try 15) and a bit tight manoeuvring in/out but OK for any car. I would happily use again.
Richard -
Parking at McCauleys Health & Sport, PL1
Left car for two nights and all was fine. Make sure you follow instructions provided on booking to find the space easily and be careful not to park in the spots run by Euro Car Parks. Would use again if in Plymouth centre.

No problems with this parking. Good that it's not street level and felt quite secure. Would use again if I was ever in Plymouth.

Parking at McCauleys Health & Sport, PL1
It was about 20-25 minutes walk from the car park to our apartment & 15-20 minutes into the city centre, our sat nav took us the wrong way but once we found it everything was ok, as you enter yo go up a steep incline could do with a mirror at the top & bottom of the incline to see if anything is coming up or down bu,t apart from that everything was good, if we stayed in Plymouth again wold use this car-park again.

Parking at McCauleys Health & Sport, PL1
Really good. Easily found, plenty of spaces to pick from at the time we arrived (late afternoon) good price. Central location - ideal if you are visiting The Pavillions which is just over the road. We stayed near Mayflower steps which is the other side of central Plymouth but was still a very easy 15 minute walk. Would definitely use again if we are visiting the city.

Parking on Peel Street, PL1
Easy to find and felt really secure leaving for weekend. Really easy to book too.
Amy -
Parking at McCauleys Health & Sport, PL1
Great location in the centre of Plymouth. It was easy to find, with parking on the roof of the gym. The parking felt secure as there were gym-goers coming and going frequently, so better than a disused parking area. The only negative was it was poorly lit, and I wouldn't have wanted to go to the car late at night by myself. We stayed in a hotel nearby so it worked really well for us, and was considerably cheaper than the hotel parking!
