Creek View is an attractive and welcoming stone terraced self-catering cottage, one of 8 in a converted malthouse, with exceptional views down a tidal creek bordered by woodlands..
The property benefits from access by way of a private drive with 2 car parking places in front and an adjacent slipway that provides easy access to the creek for boat lovers.
Inside, the property is decorated to a high standard and well-equipped with free wifi access. The property is on 3 floors with an entrance hall and twin-bedded room with ensuite shower and loo on the ground floor.
A lounge/dining room and separate kitchen are on the middle floor, with the main bedroom, a second twin-bedded room and bathroom/hand-shower/loo on the top floor.
Guests can enjoy watching the varied bird and water life as the tide ebbs and flows from the small west-facing balcony that extends from the lounge or the main bedroom.
Creek View is popular with families during school holidays and with couples and groups of friends at other times.
With its proximity to Plymouth, Dartmoor, Cornwall ,water sport centres and excellent beaches there is much to do and see.

We had another lovely stay thanks. We managed to dodge the rain most days. The box full of leaflets for places to see/stuff to do was very handy! ....we love the property and it's setting and we're very likely to contact you again next year!Â

A really good stay.
Creek View is located in a beautiful, very peaceful place, right next to a scenic Creek and estuary. The accommodation was clean and has everything you need, with clear and detailed instructions.
Only downsides (minor):
- shame there doesn't seem to be shops within easy walking distance
We enjoyed a lovely week at Creek View. The location of the property is idyllic with easy walking distance to the co-op and post office. The view from Creek View is stunning. Having easy access directly from the property to the slipway was great as we spent a lot of time kayaking on the river. I understand that the property itself is undergoing updating, which is great as it currently feels quite tired and dated in places. All in all we had a lovely holiday and would definitely return to Noss Mayo/Newton Ferrers.
The cottage was well equipped, and we particularly enjoyed the dvds and games.
Everything was in working order apart from the upstairs toilet which is leaking from the cistern and does not flush properly.
We were two in the house which could sleep six, so we had plenty of space. No private outdoor area but a small communal lawn in the front. Very nice view of the creek from the small veranda.
(A knife sharpener is needed for the kitchen knives 😉?)
The house could hardly be in a better location with fabulous views over the creek. Our enjoyment of the area was limited by bad weather and the roads in South Devon are very challenging. The property is tired and in need of some investment in a new kitchen, bathroom and general decoration. We felt it was not very well equipped and seemed unloved.
Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers face each other across a creek in the beautiful wooded estuary of the River Yealm, a haven for lovers of the English countryside with its appealing waterside cottages and local pubs. A variety of sailing dinghies and smaller boats create a colourful scene for all who visit. Newton Ferrers is popular with visiting yachtsmen during the summer and together with Noss Mayo boasts several delightful waterside restaurants to complete the atmosphere. A ferry connects Newton Ferrers with a secluded cove and the well known South West coastal path.
