Choose from 13 places to stay in Noss Mayo
Noss Mayo is tucked away on the south side of the River Yealm, opposite Newton Ferrers, with cottages climbing the hillside above the creek and two pubs, The Ship Inn and The Swan Inn, right on the water. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Noss Mayo puts you close to the slipways and the seasonal foot ferry, which links the village to Newton Ferrers and the South West Coast Path out towards the mouth of the estuary. It is a sheltered, boaty place where children quickly get used to watching the tide and spotting kayaks, tenders and sailing boats coming and going.
Family days here often revolve around the river. You can walk at low tide between the villages, take the little ferry when the water is in, and follow the path out towards Cellar Beach or the headland for bigger views. Combine short estuary walks with lunch or an early supper at The Ship Inn or The Swan Inn, then head back up the hill when legs start to tire. A holiday home in Noss Mayo gives you somewhere close to leave life jackets and buckets, spread out wet clothes and enjoy quiet evenings looking back over the creek.
