“Some lighting in the back garden and particularly up the steps leading to the garden would be a great help.”

It was a bit tricky negotiating them in the dark with only the light from a mobile phone.

“Lovely cottage.”

Plenty big enough for 4 adults. Really comfortable and relaxing. Great to have a big fridge freezer washer and dryer.

- Ms Smith, September 2019
“Molly’s Cottage has a wonderful location in Noss Mayo but sadly we were disappointed by the following: - The house smelt of damp throughout - It’s in need of a thorough clean, especially the floors that were filthy.”

- Both the exterior and interior are tired and need some TLC, with the inside requiring updating in the living room in particular. - The garden was very unkept with all the pots containing only weeds, including those outside the front, making it looked quite run down. We loved our stay in Noss Mayo itself, but would not return to this accommodation as it was not at the same standard neighboring cottages.

- Mrs Meaden, August 2019
“Fabulous cottage in a beautiful location - would love to come back again!”

- Mrs Mammatt, June 2019
“Dr”

Molly's cottage is lovely. It's well appointed, clean and warm. The location is great for walks and pubs, the nearest shop is about a mile away. The directions we were given were good although I wouldn't like to try to find it in the dark.

“Molly's cottage is great.”

It is clean, comfortable and well appointed. It's in a great location for pubs and walks, the nearest shop is about a mile away. The directions I was given to find it were good although I wouldn't like to try to find it in the dark. You can unload the car right outside the cottage but parking is about 100 yards away.

“Cottage is pretty and comfortable and is in the most magical village.”

Locals are friendly and The Ship pub has to be the best pub in England.

- Mr Farndell, March 2019
“I only gave a seven for recommending Mollys Cottage because parking was an issue, we knew before we went we couldn’t park outside the cottage and a parking lot was a short distance away but unfortunately there wasn’t always a space to park there.”

The roads immediately around where we stayed were so narrow and difficult to negotiate, although there were passing places having to reverse to these wasn’t easy. No shops close by without having to negotiate these roads. The cottage was clean and comfortable and had all that we needed, however the freezer desperately needs defrosting as some of the drawers couldn’t be opened due to the amount of ice.

- Mrs Reardon, September 2018
“The cottage next door was having extensive building work carried out for the whole week we were there.”

. We were woken every morning to drilling, banging and dreadful noise. I reported this during our stay and had no response whatsoever! Not the relaxing week we had planned after a year of ill health. Disappointing.

- Mr Wheeler, September 2018
“The house in general was as described.”

1. We were disappointed about the first of your photos from outside showing the entrance. It looks fine but next to the bench there were two big dustbins and two giant plastic bags with papers and bottles and cans and so on. So, sitting there was impossible. 2. The photo of the sitting room shows a typical wood burner. But it was not a wood burner but an electrical heating making such a noise that it was unpleasant to use it. 3. The Summer house was impossible to be used. The walls were about to rot, soil was coming through the walls, it was terribly smelling - no pleasure at all. The garden itself was in a poor condition. I do not mean the brownish colour because of the heat. Unavoidable. But all the rest did not invite us to sit there. 4. Never again I will book an accommodation without direct parking at the house. We were told to use the car park nearby, which sounded okay. But it was the one and only car park in Noss Mayo. Next to a tennis court which was in frequent use. Even in the heat. So we were not always happy to find a parking spot. Alternatively there was a car park depending on tides. Overnight parking was excluded. And what to do then? In a village with such narrow lanes???

“We felt at home straight away in Molly's Cottage and it made a perfect base for our holiday in the beautiful South Hams.”

- Mr Stammers, May 2018
“Beautiful cottage in an excellent location”

- Mr Harrison, April 2018
“The cottage was situated in a lovely spot and it was really peaceful.”

We had a wonderful week there.

The property

In the heart of Noss Mayo, quietly tucked away on a little lane around 150 yards from the water’s edge, good food pub and Coast Path, a neatly whitewashed, end-of-row cottage.

Its enclosed garden climbs steeply behind (care needed) with steps and a bark path winding up a grassy slope to a raised deck and small summerhouse (folding chairs for 4) with long views over village rooftops; on the lane at the front, tiny paved area (bench).

Inside, neat and uncluttered with laminate floors.

From lane, step up to porch with stable doors to hall; living room with TV/DVD; kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker).

From hall, 2 steps up to back door (5’5” lintel) to small covered yard (store with washing machine, tumble drier) with steep steps (19) up to garden; side path to front lane.

Upstairs, two bedrooms - a double (5’ bed with footboard), and a twin (footboards).

Bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

Loading/unloading outside; car park (free), 100 yards (tennis courts/playing field alongside).

A neat and practical base in a handy village centre location. Newton Ferrers/Noss Mayo: adjoining small villages beside the River Yealm estuary, sheltered by oak-wooded hillsides, popular for sailing, lovely for walking or just sitting.

About the location

NOSS MAYO

Newton Ferrers 1 mile; Plymouth 10 miles

The charming creek side village of Noss Mayo is hidden away on the banks of the beautiful Yealm Estuary. The area is blessed with many coastal and countryside walks. Local beaches, Stoke and Cellars are just a three-quarters of a mile walk. The village is home to two excellent waterside pubs with river views, both of which offer superb meals using the best of local produce.
Across the water, the village of Newton Ferrers, which has a local butcher, chemist, Post Office and general grocery store, may be reached on foot via causeways at low tide. A seasonal ferry also operates between Noss Mayo, Newton Ferrers and the SW coastal path to Wembury. The surrounding South Hams area is well known for its award-winning, sandy beaches and also for the breath-taking beauty of the Dartmoor National Park. All are all within easy reach, as are interesting towns and villages such as Totnes, Salcombe, Dartington and Modbury. The city of Plymouth with its shops, Marine Aquarium and Barbican quayside area is just 10 miles away.

Note: Sorry, no short breaks. Arrival after 4pm.
