“Kittiwake cottage has a wonderful position overlooking Noss Mayo and Newton Creek.”

It is comfortable and well equipped and there are plenty of walks right from the door, which is a real bonus. Great care had been taken with the cleaning and preparation which was very reassuring.

“Fantastic relaxed setting ,beautiful views and fantastic spot to while away the minutes / hours watching the activities around you.”

The accommodation was great and of a high specification. Very well equipped, obviously a lot of thought has been given to what guests may possibly need to make their stay very comfortable indeed . It was lovely to given direct contact to the owners and Iain and Annie who were absolutely fabulous too. We will absolutely recommend friends to consider a stay at Kittiwake and we hope to revisit again next year . Rachel and Steve

“Kittiwake’s location is superb, with fabulous views over the creek leading into pretty village of Noss Mayo.”

We enjoy canoeing and paddle boarding so to be able to just walk down to the creek and start paddling was amazing. Kittiwake itself was like home from home with everything you could ask for.

“Beautiful property in an idyllic location.”

- Mr Aldridge, August 2020
“We very much enjoyed our week in Kittiwake and appreciate the efforts the owners had made to make it an enjoyable holiday.”

The cottage itself is in a lovely location with beautiful views over the creek. We were very disappointed with the service you provided however as a company. We appreciate that it is difficult times, but as an excuse, it has worn very thin when you don't reply to emails or you don't answer your phone to answer queries we had as far back as June.

“This is a beautiful house with beautiful views that sits In a privileged spot within the sleepy village of Noss Mayo was the perfect base for us to explore the area.”

The house has everything you need for a self catering family holiday, it was spotlessly clean ,cosy and warm . We especially enjoyed relaxing in front of the log fire and enjoying our breakfast in the open plan kitchen diner with views accross the bay. We would love to return , thankyou

“We had a fantastic holiday at Noss mayo .”

The cottage was superb And the mince pies , clotted cream and a bottle of fizz waiting for us on arrival was totally unexpected. I would welcome anyone to find fault in this outstanding property .

“Kittiwake is a superb house in Noss Mayo.”

..everything about it is 'just right'. It is very tastefully decorated, warm and and has great views. There is good access to the coastal path and three great pubs within easy walking distance.

- Mr Gunn, November 2019
“Personally found the beds a litttle soft and would have liked to have been able to have bedroom windows opened a little at night but they did not have a catch to do that.”

Over all an excellant house to stay in. It might be useful to visitors to know of the single tract road to the locations which did occassionally cause issues when meeting a car coming the opposite way.

“We had a great weeks holiday in this lovely house and lovely place (Noss Mayo ).”

All was as expected only a little mention we did find that garden wooden chairs little hard and uncomfortable and had noticed in the picture they had shown rattan furniture.Might just be our age but thought I would say .thank you for the cake and the warm welcome Debbie .

“If you're looking for the sunshine, this is the house to find find it!”

We had such a lovely summer holiday at Kittiwake, the house is absolutely lovely and the view is just stunning. The house is just as the pictures show and has everything a family wants and needs. We were welcomed with cake and everything needed to make a hot drink and even wine! There is a big box of games in the living room that the kids enjoyed playing with and plenty of space for everyone. The third bedroom is an annex connected to the side of the house but has a separate entrance. As our children are small we decided not to use this room, as there is plenty of space in both other rooms to accommodate an extra bed/ cot. There is a lovely fire pan outside and everything supplied to have a fire (except matches). We toasted marshmallows and had fish and chips from the take-away van that comes on a Monday evening. Just down the hill from the house, less than a minutes walk is a big open field, tennis courts (adults £2.50/ children £1 - bring your own rackets) and wooden play area - which everyone really enjoyed. About 3 minutes walk form the house, is the creek side. We had lots of fun watching the tide come in and out. We ended up buying a boat, as it was so easy to carry down and had lots of fun paddling/ swimming and rowing the boat! The garage is an excellent place to store any equipment and had a full washing machine and dryer to use, which was really useful. There are two pubs within a 5 minute walk, we preferred the food at the The Ship but both were nice and The Swan does Chinese food on a Tuesday night. Noss Mayo itself is just a beautiful place to be but it doesn't take long to visit other areas too. We enjoyed River Dart Country Park, Cellars beach, Thurlestone Sands, House of Marbles, Salicombe and went on a boat trip from Brixham and saw dolphins! Kittiwake is an absolutely great house to stay in and throughly recommended. A big thank you to Iain and Annie for such a fabulous holiday house.

“This was the first time the owners had rented Kittiwake out and were still finishing off when we arrived.”

They asked us to leave a note with any issues/improvements we thought might be beneficial. This we did such as a laundry basket being required. This was identified on Wednesday and actioned the same day. There was also an issue with the door lock on the patio door. Reported to oweners at 11:30 am on Wednesday by voicemail and fixed by 2:30 pm. Excellent service. Nice cottage but somewhat over priced as 3rd bedroom is completely separate from the rest of the house

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.
