About this property
Junket Cottage is a semi-detached stone cottage overlooking the River Yealm in Noss Mayo. Just 500 yards from the waterside pubs, and with stylish contemporary style, it offers lovely accommodation for small families or couples. From the lane, you step up to your front door into the hall. From here, head into your sitting room with cosy wood burning stove or the smart kitchen where you can enjoy leisurely mealtimes. At bedtime, head upstairs to the two comfortable bedrooms where you can wake to fascinating views of the river. Across the lane, with access through the gate to the left hand side of the hedge, you have your outdoor seating area, from which steps wind steeply down to the riverbank. Here you share a table and chairs on a quay and a slipway and outhaul mooring with one other cottage. Noss Mayo is perfect for boating fans and you can launch your dinghy on to the water at the public slipway 100 yards from the cottage. For some different water activity, try paddleboarding or wakeboarding hire or trips, or stay on dry land and walk the woodland or to the cliff top Coast Path. Along the coast, Mothecombe is a beautiful beach and Wembury is good for rock pooling and its marine conservation centre. And at the end of the day, chill out in the pubs beside the river. With its riverside setting and closeness to the popular pubs, Junket Cottage is a lovely place.
The tiny, pretty village of Noss Mayo is hidden away on the southern bank of the Yealm Estuary and is home to two good pubs. Across the water is the larger village of Newton Ferrers, and you can get between the two villages by a causeway at low tide and a seasonal ferry that operates a triangular route and calls in at the SW Coastal Path, Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers. Newton Ferrers has a local butcher, chemist and Post Office. The village pub has fantastic views across the water towards Noss Mayo and the creek. The area is blessed with many walks that meander along the waterside and across the fields, while to the north Dartmoor's high tors and open spaces beckon those who love wild country. The city of Plymouth with its shops, Marine Aquarium and Barbican quayside area is just 10 miles away.

Everything was perfect.

Arrived to find cream tea, Prosecco and flowers which was a great start. The owner had previously phoned before our arrival day to welcome us and was very helpful regarding the cottage and locality. Would recommend a stay here in either Junket Cottage or the Studio which we had an opportunity to see. Also the fact the properties have parking is a real bonus.

There was nothing we needed, it has everything. The specification is high, cleanliness is 100% and parking for two cars, Linda (owner) is extremely welcomingâ¦..introductions were made the day after our arrival at the local pub where she recognised our dogs from a description Iâd given herâ¦â¦ We will be going back to Noss Mayo in the future and hopefully see you againâ¦..in the Dolphin
