This is a very special cottage just for two people in a unique position with access to it by a rowing boat, which we provide, from Newton Ferrers.  It is ideal for  water based  holidays and relaxing weekends, which start when you row across this beautiful river. 


It comes with a mooring so if you have your own boat, bring it along for a holiday too. 

The terrace of  Old Coastguard Cottages are secluded on the Wembury side of the River Yealm, overlooking the pretty creekside sailing and yachting villages of Newton Ferrers  and Noss Mayo which boast 3 good dining pubs a short row/walk away. There is plenty to see and do. The South West Coastal Path is 100 yards from the doorstep with breathtaking views from the cliffs and opportunity to discover hidden beaches and secret coves along the way. Wembury beach has superb rock pools at low tide and good surf at high tide.

The view from the terrace down the creek.
The cottage has one large bedroom and sleeps two, with a king size bed, a shower room and separate loo.  .

The terrace for  No 3 at the front of the house has superb views down the creek towards Noss and Newton and also right and left up the river towards Dartmoor.  Breakfast on the terrace in the morning sun is very special.  Because the cottage is the smallest in the terrace the terrace is obviously small, but the views are magical.

There is no TV reception at the cottage.   Wifi is slow, and mobile phone signal is patchy.  But it's not that sort of holiday.  If you want to watch TV all day or look at your internet screens then this is not your cup of tea.  If you want to sit and read, to look at the wonderful views, mess about on the river, explore the coves, walk the SW coastpath or visit the village pubs then this is your sort of holiday.

We only rent the cottage to non-smokers.  We don't allow pets.
You have to be able to handle a boat and we are only renting this cottage in the off-seasons - namely April May and June and September.

A nearby beach along the cliffs from No 3 Old Coastguards.  Just row across the river.  Tie the boat onto our exclusive outhaul, turn right and walk along the cliffs to find these lovely and secluded coves.
