Glen Cottage is beautifully situated with a stunning waterfront garden and patio that extends right down to the foreshore. On a sunny day it’s the most wonderful place to relax, enjoying a drink or alfresco dining whilst watching the colourful spectacle of boats on the water. The south-facing cottage, dating back to the 18th century provides comfortable accommodation and has deep-set windows with window seats in all rooms, giving great views of the creek. The public slipway is just 100 metres from the cottage, and the excellent village pub two minutes further. This is a gorgeous little cottage, which fills with light and sunshine and the perfect base from which all this area has to offer. At the rear of the cottage a large sloping garden provides a secluded haven in which to enjoy the peace, with views to Noss Mayo, and also offers ample space to store paddle boards and kayaks. Several sandy beaches are easily accessible by car, as is the South West Coastal Path that threads its way along this scenic coastline. Dartmoor National Park, the historic city and naval port of Plymouth and the Celtic coasts of Cornwall are all within easy reach, but we think we should warn you that dragging yourself away from this lovely spot for long will not be easy.
Please note: Small children and toddlers should be supervised at all times, both in the steep rear garden and the waterfront patio area. “A very cosy cottage in a beautiful, quiet and peaceful location. A lovely week” Chris & Shelia.
“Lovely cottage in a charming village amidst beautiful scenery” Eleanor & John.
Outside
To the front of the cottage, across the tiny lane and down some steps leads to a beautiful private lawn and patio area, with garden table and chairs overlooking the water. To the rear of the cottage, steep steps lead up to large sloping lawned garden with mature trees, garden table and chairs. Across and up this sloping garden is private designated parking for two cars at the very top.
The local area
The tranquil village of Newton Ferrers lies opposite its slightly smaller neighbour, Noss Mayo, on a delightful creek of the beautiful wooded estuary of the Yealm. The Yealm estuary is a haven for artists, bird watchers and yachtsmen with pretty waterside cottages, plentiful wildlife, and sailing vessels of every shape and size creating an idyllic scene for all who visit.
Newton Ferrers has an excellent pub, The Dolphin Inn, with ample beer garden overlooking the creek, café, and Post Office and store where you can pick up your morning croissants. Walking enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the nearby spectacular coastline, particularly Warren Point, where wildlife abounds. The little church of St Werburgh, standing on the cliff at the junction of several of the parish footpaths, has stood on this wild piece of coastline since the 14th century. Alternatively, cross to Noss Mayo, on foot at low tide or via the ferry a high tide, and take the 30-40 minute stroll through exceptionally pretty woodland to the pebble and sand Cellar Beach, which has no dog restrictions. The path is quite steep down to the beach, but it makes a great resting place if you wish to continue along this beautiful stretch of the South West Coast Path up to Gara Point.
Other beaches within a short drive include the family-friendly Wembury, the hidden gem of Mothecombe, and Wonwell which has limited parking and no facilities, but low tide exposes acres of golden sand which is heaven for dogs to race across.
Newton Ferrers is also conveniently close to the maritime city of Plymouth with its lively Barbican area, fascinating National Marine Aquarium, and the iconic Hoe and lighthouse offering fantastic views across one of the most perfect natural harbours in the world.
A holiday cottage in Newton Ferrers provides a tranquil and extremely picturesque base from which to explore the surrounding coastline and the vibrant city of Plymouth.
