“Despite the fact that we liked the house and particularly the location there were a couple of points that need to be looked at.”

Some of the planks on the balconies were rotting and there was a potential trip hazard in 2 or 3 places. Clearly that did intend to do something about this as there was some new timber available but the work should be done before someone hurts themselves. ...

Some of the planks on the balconies were rotting and there was a potential trip hazard in 2 or 3 places. Clearly that did intend to do something about this as there was some new timber available but the work should be done before someone hurts themselves. In addition on Saturday 4th the fuse box tripped and plunged us into darkness. We found the fusebox and reset the fuse but it tripped again. I tried to phone Patsy on her mobile (as instructed) and left a message. Despite her answer phone message saying that she would get back to use she didn't. I also left a message on a landline number and that didn't elicit a reply either. In the meantime we worked out that the problem was caused by the freezer and when we switched it off we could reset the fuse. The next morning we were able to switch the freeze back on without it tripping the fuse. On Thursday it happened again but there was no point in reporting this again. Clearly there is some problem with the freezer or the wiring to it and this needs to be resolved.

“It was our misinterpretation but we did expect there to be watersport facilities (e.”

G. a paddleboard) to be available

- Mrs Barlow, August 2021

We are sorry for any confusion. Our listing states that equipment, such as paddleboards, are available for hire. We hope this did not spoil the enjoyment of your stay. Property Owner
Mr Dunsire September 2020

“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.

“Some of your communications about the property come across as rather officious.”

“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

“Have rented this property many times.”

As usual, high quality property in good condition. Will return!

Mrs Steele October 2019

“You rang me at home and left a message about a problem at Myrtle Cottage but I was not there and was actually en route.”

You also sent a text and asked me to ring you. I tried on 4 separate occaissions to do thid and was on hold in excess of 10 minutes each time - no one answers your telephones !! I then sent you an email but you did not reply to that until I came home. Not a lot of use asking me to ring if you do not answer your telephones.

Mr Hadfield August 2019

“Fantastic location and view ...”

Mrs Gordon June 2019

“Just wasn't clear that ground floor was actually upstairs.”

Ie down stars to bedrooms. Needs making clear as we had 2 disabled people expecting 2 ground floor bedrooms. Front glass door needs etching or motif putting on. |I banged my head on it . Property was beautiful and well stocked.

Mrs Lawson May 2019

“We had a very enjoyable holiday at myrtle quay.”

Excellent house for 2 families with teenage girls (4). Location was perfect with 3 pubs in walking distance where we enjoyed many meals. Girls really enjoyed kayaking on the river. Very peaceful house to just fit on balcony dnd enjoy the view.

- Mrs Lawson, May 2019
Mrs Peapell May 2019

“Looking at the brilliant view from this fabulous property you would never be bored plus everyone we met were very friendly, the local pub had great food and lovely friendly staff.”

At the end of our holiday we all felt totally relaxed thankyou

Holder April 2019

“Hi had a great week, just a few niggles with the house.”

Pillows and duvets all feather, not very comfortable. Utility door stuck, might jam totally. Bin recycling confusing and pervious occupants had failed to grasp the system. Lots of lovely good points, beautiful views of the estuary and neighbour helped us out enormously when we were running late for the shopping delivery.

- Holder, April 2019
Mrs Scorey March 2019

“Amazing holiday home in a fantastic location.”

Mr Garner September 2018

“Apart from requiring a little maintenance here and there, the property is stunning and the location even better!”

What a view over the estuary. It was extremely comfortable with all facilities available as described.

- Mr Garner, September 2018
Mrs Winter June 2018

“Fabulous place.”

Loved everything about it. The views are amazing.... the only downside was only 3 sunbeds as the house sleeps 8. Will definitely be back though

- Mrs Winter, June 2018
Mrs Jones May 2018

“From booking this holiday, arranging key collection, house on outside does not do justice to inside, but you never notice outside of building once you walk through the doors, because the views are amazing, the outside comes in, house ls light modern, would recommend helpful holidays, and newton ferries people and place very welcoming.”

Fab.

Mr Mansfield April 2018

“Fantastic property in a stunning location - will certainly be booking again”

- Mr Mansfield, April 2018
Holder March 2018

“Great spot, property fantastic.”

Couple of things, in the main bedroom, duvet lumpy and made of feathers, not great. Pillows similar problem. No scissors in the house, oddly you need a pair more than you think! Otherwise super relaxing week.

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
