“Peaceful & picturesque”

Stayed for a weekend in September. Myself partner & 2 dogs. Lovely accommodation and I liked the fact. The owners welcomed dogs. We planned to do plenty of walks & to explore the area of Plymouth & Cornwall which we were luckily able to do as the weather was fantastic!

Stayed for a weekend in September. Myself partner & 2 dogs. Lovely accommodation and I liked the fact. The owners welcomed dogs. We planned to do plenty of walks & to explore the area of Plymouth & Cornwall which we were luckily able to do as the weather was fantastic! My only gripes about the house was the fact that A We couldn’t arrive before 5pm on Friday and had to leave on mon by 9:15am due to COVID. B there was a long list of cleaning requirements due to COVID. I understand the need for everyone to safeguard each other but we were not expecting to have to clean every area we were in nor to strip beds! Isn’t that what the cleaning company is for? Also they required us to take empty glass beer bottles away with us? Due to no collection. C. We were told there wasn’t a welcome pack not toiletries due to COVID. Yet they left cleaning materials? My partner stayed at a hotel last week & there were no requirements to strip beds clean showers AND there were mini toiletries in the bathroom. I think the management/cleaning company of this property are dictating to the owners and I have to say their cleaning leaves a lot to be desired. The windows and glass balustrade were filthy. Also food left in cupboard from previous visitors. I liked the house overall but would probably stay elsewhere on my next visit.

“Lovely house and I hope to return one day as the whole place is idyllic.”

2 minor gripes, 1st is the mattress in the big bedroom does need replacing due to it being so well worn you are lying on a slant. 2nd gripe is, on your last day you have to strip the beds, bag the towels, wipe the toilets, showers, kitchen, basically cleaning the whole place down then clear all the recycling and empty all the bins due to the COVID 19 "protocols" all this so it's clear for the "cleaners" to then come in and do whatever they do (which does certainly not include cleaning the windows or glass balustrade) And all this has to be done before 9am!!! On the whole, please do not let this put you off booking this property, it is stunning and in the perfect location if you want a quiet relaxing break.

“The property was stunning.”

Beautiful house. Lovely village. Great facilities. Everything you needed for a home from home. Only slight disappointment was the extensive cleaning list from the housekeeper we had to do prior to leaving by 9.15am due to Covid. I understand Covid, and happy to leave early to allow for extra cleaning but we paid almost £3000 for a week to then to be told we had to clean all toilets, sinks, baths, fridge, cupboard doors & handles etc. Surely within our cost was enough to be thoroughly cleaned. Cleaners would surely wear PPE. We actually left the house much cleaner than it was when we arrived as I didn’t want a dispute over another £250. Every other aspect of life and businesses has adapted for their own extra cleaning to enable business as usual due to the pandemic.

“We had been evicted from pour holiday cottage across the estuary in Noss Mayo due to a rat infestation.”

The operator that I spoke to on the phone was so helpful in getting the cottage ready for us with 90 minutes notice and it was just the blissful haven we needed after an horrendous beginning to our Toad Hall Cottage holiday at The Old Chapel. We couldn't have asked for better - fantastic location, so, so clean and comfortable. The service and the house itself salvaged our family holiday. Thank you

About the location

NEWTON FERRERS

Plymouth 8 miles.

A tranquil, picturesque village in the South Hams area of Devon, on a bend of the River Yealm leading up from the South Devon coast (1 mile). The perfect haven for sailors, for those who love messing about near water and for those who appreciate stunning and civilised countryside. There is a local butcher, chemist, post office and grocer in Newton Ferrers and an organic farm shop just two miles away. The village pub, with fantastic views across the water towards Noss Mayo and the creek, serves good food and drink. 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 8 miles away while beautiful Totnes with its 'alternative' view on life is a must. If the beach rather than boats is what you seek, you won't do better than the beautiful sands at Mothecombe and Bigbury just a few miles down the road. Both are accessible by road or boat from Newton Ferrers. There are a number of excellent golf courses nearby.

Note: This property has a refundable Good Housekeeping bond of £250
