    “Plenty of space and good waterside location.”

    Rather dated and only one tiny shower for eight people was a challenge, together with limited fridge space. We were staying for two weeks and I would have expected a change of sheets and towels half way through. The weather was wet and there is no tumble drier or spare sets of sheets or towels so it was not possible to get them washed and dried in a day myself. With no discount for a two week booking I do not think it unreasonable that there could have been a change of sheets, towels and a ...

    Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the spaciousness and waterside location. Regarding the shower and fridge, these details are noted in the listing, and with eight people sharing, it can understandably be a bit tight,as for the linen and towel changes, our standard practice is not to include mid-stay changes for two-week bookings unless arranged beforehand. Also, the absence of a tumble dryer is mentioned in the listing. We aim to be transparent about the amenities and pricing so guests know what to expect.We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we’ll keep your comments in mind as we look for ways to improve.

The property

This wonderful detached house is elevated by beautiful views in Newton Ferrers, with river frontage bringing the relaxing waters to your doorstep, and a comfortable interior where you can admire it all from.

Bring along the family to appreciate this cottage in its entirety, the perfect place to celebrate an occasion or simply enjoy some quality time together.

Timbers sits in its own large plot, totally private and hidden from the road.

Four double bedrooms, a snug room, three bathrooms, a large lounge, dining room, fully fitted kitchen and utility room, bring the accommodation to life, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and appreciate the luxury surroundings.

Outdoors, the garden has several areas to unwind, whether you wish to be under the sun, or taking shade.

Its south facing aspect is perfect for watching the comings and goings on the creek and Yealm Pool.

Timbers also benefits from having its own tidal slipway down to the foreshore.

Sleeping a maximum of 8, this is a one-of-a-kind holiday retreat.

Newton Ferrers is a tranquil haven just 10 miles from the urban sprawl of Plymouth.

Surrounded by ancient woodland and creeks, the village of Newton Ferrers lies on the banks of the calming Yealm estuary.

It’s a hidden gem packed with wildlife and has a secret, refreshing atmosphere.

If you envision thatched cottages and a lovely village pub in the centre, then this getaway is a picturesque place to stay whatever the season.

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.
