Newton Ferrers/Noss Mayo: there is no more glowingly beautiful coastal scene in Devon than the lake-like estuary of the River Yealm, full of sailing boats and yachts, enclosed and sheltered by high, oak-wooded hillsides. These two adjoining villages are beside it; small, with riverside (and river view) good food (and children welcome) pubs, old fishermen’s cottages, essential shops. Very popular for sailing, especially dinghies; lovely, too, for walking (paths through the oak woods, brilliant views at every turn), or just sitting. Riding stables. Pedestrian ferry to coast walk to Wembury, and to secluded beach. Nearest sandy beach by car: Mothecombe (delightful), about 4 miles. Plymouth, 11; A38 road, about 7.
... and 1/4 mile from the shops in Newton Ferrers, a detached, south-facing family house called Creek House (L630), with stunning views overlooking the Yealm estuary towards the Pool and Nat. Trust woodland. Built in the 1920s, it has recently been refurbished.
Steps from the road lead to the house, passing a detached self-contained studio for two, Little Creek (L631), which can be booked with Creek House (L630) or separately see below for details.
Little Creek (L631) detached, self-contained studio a few steps down from the road, its own small, sunny patio; the all-in-one living/dining/bedroom, decorated in yellows and soft pastels, has a comfy sofa, chair and double bed, views over the estuary, CD player; well-equipped fitted kitchen (washer-drier, microwave); bathroom (suite plus bath-shower). No smoking.
Creek House (L630) and Little Creek booked together can accommodate 10 people.
