Nestled on the banks of the stunning Yealm estuary, Newton Ferrers and its slightly smaller neighbour Noss Mayo make an enchanting pair. Within these serene waters lies a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts - from bird watchers to budding sailors, with cottages perched by the riverbank waiting to be explored. Whether you're after some creative inspiration or simply looking to take in some unparalleled scenery - a Newton Ferrers holiday cottage puts you at the heart of this beautiful village.
For those who appreciate a good pub, Newton Ferrers' Dolphin Inn is a perfect choice, with its expansive beer garden offering stunning views of the nearby creek. There's also a café and Post Office shop that serves up fresh pastries for a grab-and-go breakfast. For walkers and nature lovers alike, head to Warren Point - a picturesque spot with abundant wildlife.
Neighbouring Noss Mayo is just a short low-tide or high-tide ferry ride away. From there, you can take a 30-40 minute walk through the gorgeous woodlands that lead to dog-friendly Cellar Beach. The path down may be fairly steep, but it makes for an ideal resting spot before continuing along this magnificent stretch of the South West Coast Path up to Gara Point.
If you're looking for a beach to explore within easy driving distance, Wembury is great for families, Mothecombe offers an off-the-beaten-path experience, and Wonwell features miles of golden sand, perfect for running around with children and dogs. Just make sure to check the parking situation before visiting - there are limited spaces available at this location but it's worth the trek!
Choosing a holiday cottage in Newton Ferrers also puts you within easy access to Plymouth, the vibrant maritime city offering up its famous Barbican area, National Marine Aquarium and an iconic lighthouse that offers stunning views of one of nature's most beautiful harbours.
