Vacation Rental Description

Noss Mayo is a picturesque village on the Yealm estuary in The South Hams, an area of outstanding natural beauty at the southern edge of Devon. The Post House is at the heart of the village and is situated just above the popular Popes Quay, where a glass of something can be enjoyed from the nearby Swan Inn whilst watching (or participating) in crabbing, boating or swimming. In the immediate vicinity are three riverside pubs, in addition there are tennis courts and a play area within a short walk.

The house is on a walkers' route that takes you onto the stunning South West Coastal Path. A good circular walk will take you around the headland where on a clear day Eddystone Lighthouse can be seen, and if you are lucky seals below Warren Cottage. Falcons and Kestrels are regular sightings as well as the occasional Kite.

Cellars Beach is a popular BBQ location and can be accessed via an attractive 30 minute walk through woodlands or, if the tide is right, by sailing, rowing or boating down the estuary. At low tide stroll across the causeway to Newton Ferrers, where you will find a small general stores, post office and bakery (book your croissants the day before!), butchers, pharmacy and a charming tea room at the top of the village. During the Regatta (July/August) the two villages combine for hard fought competition between the communities, outsiders are welcome to participate.

The Post House stands proud at the head of Voss Creek with outstanding uninterrupted views both from the large open plan living/dining room or the sunny terrace down the river to the Yealm Estuary and the Pool Harbour. The House is notable for a major renovation completed April 2010 and is furnished to a very high standard. It is family friendly and can accommodate children of all ages.

Superb beaches are within 30 minutes including the Blue Flag beaches of Bigbury on Sea (with the world famous art deco hotel on Burgh Island), Blackpool Sands (award winning privately run beach in outstanding setting) and Challaborough (popular with surfers and regularly hosts top class competitions). Wembury is excellent for rock pooling and can be walked to along the coastal path from Noss Mayo via a pedestrian ferry.

Plymouth, with the National Marine Aquarium and historic Barbican (from where the Mayflower set off to America) is a 20 minute drive. Plymouth offers a range of seasonal events (including the Classic Boat Rally and British Firework Championships). In addition there is a theatre, Vue multiscreen cinema and dry ski slope.

A number of stately homes are in close proximity of Noss Mayo that host a range of all year round events:

Saltram House (National Trust) - Magnificent Georgian house with opulent Robert Adam interiors, gardens, follies and landscape parkland. Home of the Parkers for 300 years.
Buckland Abbey (NT) - 700 year old home of Elizabethan seafarers Drake and Grenville, in the beautiful Tavy Valley estate.
Cotehele (NT) - Tudor house with superb collections of textiles, armour and furniture, set in extensive (and fabulous) grounds. Within the estate is also a working watermill.
The Garden House - Great for teas and for wandering around a variety of gardens to get that little bit of inspiration!
Anthony House (NT) - Superb 18th century mansion set in parkland and fine gardens

For walkers, in addition to the coastal path and numerous local footpaths, South Dartmoor and the Abbots Way is a 20 minute drive where superb views can be obtained across the whole of the South Hams. The coast to coast walk taking in The Two Moors Way starts from nearby Wembury.

Day trips can be made to the Eden Project and Woodlands Theme Park (for younger children) as well as Paignton Zoo.

Otherwise just enjoy the environs of Noss Mayo with its friendly local community, socialising on Popes Quay or watching the world go by from the sunny terrace.

NOTE: Fishing trips can be organised from nearby Plymouth (fresh mackerel for breakfast is hard to beat). Boats can be hired from Phil Carter in Newton Ferrers and there is a local riding school.

Two tennis hard courts are within the village and available for hire. Snooker tables are also available within the Tilly institute.

Several local 18 hole golf courses, including Staddon Heights at Plymouth commanding a spectacular view of the Sound, Bigbury and Thurlestone at 13 and 15 miles and St Mellion Golf and Country Club at 20 miles.

For some non-road cycling there is a beautiful, mostly wooded and relatively easy cycle track (10 miles) along a disused railway up the Plym Valley from Plympton to Clearbrook (where you will conveniently find the Skylark Inn!). Tunnels, viaducts and ancient mineworkings add to the intrigue along the way. In addition the Plym Valley offers steam train rides.
