“Gillyweed is a very well appointed property with plenty of crockery, mugs and glasses.”

We made good use of the ovens and microwave. If we go again we will open the bi-fold doors to enjoy the view.

“The double glazed balcony doors in the double bedroom were out of alignment.”

This meant that when closed in windy weather the curtains blew about and it was cold. This is apparently a known problem and because of this it should have been picked up on change over day and arrangements put in place for it to be rectified. When reported the housekeeper said it would be rectified on the next change over day, not much use to us though. Apart from that a very nice property with everything you could want, (apart from a DVD player!).

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. The balcony doors in the double bedroom have been checked. The left hand door needs to be locked into place before locking the right hand door. If the handle isn't pulled up properly it won't lock into place, thus leaving a gap for the wind to come in. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon. Owner relations

“The holiday home was very nice, the outlook at the back of property was very interesting.”

However, as for peaceful as stated, the traffic on the road adjoining the property is like living on the edge of the M25. The traffic zoomed by continuously, sometimes drowning out the television, lorries, busses , motor bikes, cars. We live in a quiet location at home, maybe we are more sensitive to this noise than most, but this location did not constitute peace and quiet.

The owners are sorry that you felt the single track road nearby was noisy. It has never been mentioned by previous guests and the riverside location is frequently described as peaceful in other reviews. Owner relations

“Very well described property and very well equipped with everything we needed to have a stress free holiday.”

Property could do with a good deep clean around the edges but overall it was fine. Fab location to explore Devon
Mr Norman May 2019

“Gillyweed is a wonderful location for a peaceful, relaxing holiday, whatever the weather.”

But for those looking for exercise or good food there are three good pubs within walking distance and several great walks.
Mrs Larcombe May 2019

“Gillyweed is in the perfect position to enjoy the Yealm estuary.”

Very comfortable cottage. Thank you
Mr Thomas November 2018

“When we visited the last week in November the property was very comfortable and warm.”

The views from the front windows are great, with bifold doors and a small balcony on the lounge which would be lovely in the summer months. Well placed for coastal path walking and lots of other footpaths in the area, no need to use the car. The "Swan" inn in Noss Mayo serves good food and just a short walk from the property, there are a couple of other pubs in walking distance but we didn't try them. Would love to return to Gillyweed hopefully soon.
Mrs Sheffield August 2018

“Beautiful spot, kids loved mudlarking and especially crabbing.”

The beer race was a delightful bonus- hilarious. Friendly people lovely house. Caretaker friendly and very helpful- would love to come again.
Dr James July 2018

“This was our third visit to Gillyweed.”

Once again everything was as expected. We will plan to return again.
Mrs Preston June 2018

“Brilliant location and lovely accomodation.”
Mrs Carruthers March 2018

“Well we have stayed in this property for some years now but have been visitors of Noss Mayo for 18 years Gillyweed and Noss Mayo never lets us down.”

We ADORE both :)
Mrs Wilkinson March 2018

“We were able to go Gillyweed on the Thursday night as it was vacant it was lovely to wake up on Friday morning to have the extra day at Noss Mayo.”

We have stayed at Gillyweed before,lovely property everything is very homely and the views are fantastic. We will be back.

About the location

NOSS MAYO

Newton Ferrers 1 mile; Plymouth 10 miles

The charming creek side village of Noss Mayo is hidden away on the banks of the beautiful Yealm Estuary. The area is blessed with many coastal and countryside walks. Local beaches, Stoke and Cellars are just a three-quarters of a mile walk. The village is home to two excellent waterside pubs with river views, both of which offer superb meals using the best of local produce.
Across the water, the village of Newton Ferrers, which has a local butcher, chemist, Post Office and general grocery store, may be reached on foot via causeways at low tide. A seasonal ferry also operates between Noss Mayo, Newton Ferrers and the SW coastal path to Wembury. The surrounding South Hams area is well known for its award-winning, sandy beaches and also for the breath-taking beauty of the Dartmoor National Park. All are all within easy reach, as are interesting towns and villages such as Totnes, Salcombe, Dartington and Modbury. The city of Plymouth with its shops, Marine Aquarium and Barbican quayside area is just 10 miles away.

Note: Some restricted height and limited clothes-hanging space in top floor twin bedroom.
