“Excellent accommodation, very well equipped and a great base for completing sections of the SouthWest Coastal Path and two cracking pubs.”

Difficult parking for more than one car at the cottage, but plenty of free parking throughout the village.

Juliet September 2024

“Lovely cosy cottage in great location.”

Nice and spacious bedrooms, well equipped kitchen. Beautiful walks on your doorstep and 2 nice pubs nearby. The outdoor space is a bit limited and not enclosed if you are bringing a dog. The parking is very tight , we have a mini and it was fine but would struggle with a big car and not sure where else you could park.

- Juliet, September 2024
Anthony September 2024

“The property is in a very picturesque village in a lovely part of south Devon and the property itself does not disappoint either supplying everything you could need.”

Comfortable beds, bath and shower after a long days walk is a blessing. The deck area behind the house is a lovely place to relax in the sunshine with a drink. All in all a very good place to stay, highly recommend and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

- Anthony, September 2024
Leigh September 2024

“Lovely property in a beautiful location.”

We have marked the comfort rating lower because the sofas in the lounge and the mattress in the downstairs bedroom are well past their best and need to be replaced. Otherwise - fabulous.

Stephanie May 2024

“We stayed in Cherry Tree cottage in May 2024 and we had a wonderful stay in this delightful cottage.”

It had everything we needed and the 2 garden areas were ideal to make the most of the sunshine at both the start and end of the day. Added bonus was the parking directly in front of the cottage which was large enough to accommodate an estate car which now understand is a bonus in this village.

- Stephanie, May 2024
Jane March 2024

“We had a good week.”

Cottage has everything you need. The icing on the cake would have been a bigger TV. The current one is very small and the sound is tinny.

- Jane, March 2024

Thank you so much for your comments. We always try and act upon client's recommendations and have now upgraded a TV to a larger size and added a sound bar. Property Owner

“Cosy and comfortable cottage perfectly situated in Noss Mayo.”

- Andrew, October 2023

Thank you for your kind comment.We are so glad you enjoyed your time in Noss. It is a special place. Property Owner
Carol September 2023

“We had been recommended to Cherry Tree Cottage by a work colleague who has stayed there twice and it lived up to expectations.”

The location is amazing and we loved sitting in the garden area behind the parking space.

- Carol, September 2023

Thank you so much for your kind comments and we are so glad you love Noss as much as us. It really is a hidden gem. Property Owner
Andrea July 2023

“Absolutely enchanting!”

It was our first visit to this part of Devon, it won’t be our last. We loved Noss Mayo. We were totally charmed by Cherry Tree Cottage It’s just perfect! Beautifully appointed, and well maintained. There were only 2 of us, and we made use of all the space, but can easily see a family of 4 or 2 couples being comfortable here & still having plenty of space. The ground floor master bedroom was lovely & spacious, plenty of storage space, lovely comfy bed, large en-suite bathroom (shower over the bath) with a washer & tumble dryer in the large storage closet off here. Lovely comfortable lounge, a huge selection of DVDs and some family games for guests to use. Well equipped 1st floor kitchen/dining room for self catering. Good sized fridge with small ice box plenty of room for a big shop (added advantage of a second fridge/freezer in the outhouse/shed should you need more room) a hallway with plentiful coat hooks leads to double bedroom 2 and en-suite shower room. The back garden is accessed off this level ……an explosion of colour with an abundance of hanging baskets/tubs and beautifully well kept flowering plants & shrubs comprises of a small decked area with a shed and a handy rotary drier with steps off taking you up to a loved top decked area that captures the evening sun & has views over to the river. At the front, there is a bench directly in front of the cottage and across the lane to the cottage there is a handy pull in parking space (big enough for a large 4WD) and behind this another wonderfully kept “secret” and very private garden outdoor seating. Which gives both sun & partial shade from morning right through till early evening. A truly lovely cottage that you fall in love with at first sight & it doesn’t disappoint at all.

- Andrea, July 2023

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments - we feel the garden is a little haven from the madness of life. Property Owner

Thank Mrs Charley, it's a lovely cottage with outstanding views from to top garden and lovely cottage garden at front of road parking was great as well although a little tight in the lane,but overall lovely time had Thanks Pete & Kim , kelvedon, essex

- Peter, June 2023

Dear Pete and Kim We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage - Noss Mayo is such a haven of peace and quiet. The Devon lanes can be a challenge but part of the adventure of being there! Property Owner
Simon June 2023

“This was our second stay at Cherry Tree Cottage and we had yet another fantastic holiday.”

Worth mentioning that the cottage is also well positioned for great food at 'The Ship Inn' - (highly recommend the Sunday Roast).

- Simon, June 2023

Thank you so much for your kind comments and glad you enjoyed Noss Mayo. Property Owner
Carol June 2023

“Thought the experience between ourselves/Sykes/cottage owner all a bit faceless.”

For us we felt the cottage wasn't that dog friendly, supplying a dog bowl doesn't make it dog friendly. Enquired about a stair gate, none available. Names and telephone numbers were not accurate for contact and a message left on Mrs Charnley's phone on the Monday prior to arrival as we were instructed to do was ignored.

- Carol, June 2023

As dog owners of a toy poodle ourselves we have never used a stair gate nor have any of the many other dog loving clients ever requested one. Mrs P was informed there was no stair gate at the property before she arrived and was advised that we were more than happy for her to bring her own if necessary. We find the other comments equally inaccurate. Property Owner
Gary May 2023

“Cottage very tidy welcoming and clean on arrival.”

Very well equipped ,everything we needed. Fantastic outside space.Cottage homely and comfortable with the added bonus of car parking. Stunning location

- Gary, May 2023

Thank you so much for your delightful comments - we are so glad you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner
Naomi May 2023

“The cottage was really wonderful and exceeded my expectations- wonderfully equipped, fantastic bedding, all made for the most relaxing and easy stay.”

It’s a beautiful location, absolutely loved Noss, and cherry tree feels like a welcoming and lovely home. The guest info was helpful and expansive. I would love to stay here again. However, Sykes, on an entirely separate note, I think you could do more to help the overall experience, in a saturated market I did not find dealing with you as easy or as pleasurable as I would have liked.

- Naomi, May 2023

We are so glad you had a lovely holiday and enjoyed Noss Mayo which we agree is very unique. Best wishes Elizabeth and Godfrey Charnley Property Owner
Brenda April 2023

“Beautiful cottage and we really enjoyed our stay in spite of the cold wet and windy weather!”

- Brenda, April 2023

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are glad that despite awful weather you still had a good time - Noss has something special which seems to defy even the rain. Best wishes Elizabeth & Godfrey Property Owner
Joanne April 2023

“A wonderful cottage!”

It is situated in the perfect location for walks and exploring the surrounding areas, with 2 very friendly pubs nearby. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxed, and the welcome gifts were truly welcome after the long drive down! Would definitely recommend and we are already looking to book again.

- Joanne, April 2023

Dear Joanne, Thank you so much for your really thoughtful comments. We love the village and surround and agree the pubs are definitely a huge asset! Best wishes Elizabeth and Godfrey Property Owner
Lucy September 2022

“A lovely spot of the country, with splendid walks.”

The Ferry across the estuary is the best way of accessing more walks without ever using the car. The Ship is excellent for food and service too. The Cafe on the Green served excellent snacks etc. Cheery Tree Cottage has lovely cotton sheets, and three wonderful places to sit and read, or chat. We used all three. I am counting the bench outside by the house too!

- Lucy, September 2022
Rose August 2022

“Cherry Tree cottage is in the perfect position, situated between two very different, but excellent pubs and a two minute stroll to the edge of the river for paddle boarding and swimming.”

The car parking is great as it doesn’t involve driving around the narrow lanes! I’m not sure how easy it would be to park two cars however. The front garden is lovely, very pretty and private. (The slight disadvantage is having the kitchen upstairs when you want to eat outside). It would be nice to have cushions for the garden furniture. Noss Mayo is very beautiful, the cottage pretty and comfortable. We would definitely like to return.

- Rose, August 2022
Andrew June 2022

“A gorgeous cottage in an excellent position with parking and 2x gardens situated in the heart of the beautiful village of Noss Mayo.”

- Andrew, June 2022

Thank you so much for your kind comments ,we are pleased you loved Cherry Tree and Noss. Property Owner
Simon May 2022

“A lovely well positioned cottage with excellent facilities.”

We didn't want to leave.

- Simon, May 2022
Lyn May 2022

“A lovely cottage perfectly located in Noss Mayo.”

We really enjoyed our stay. Owner extremely helpful with our arriving a little early unlike Sykes who wanted to charge us extra even though we had already paid for the full week though unable to arrive until the Saturday

- Lyn, May 2022

Thank you so much for your comments - our pleasure! Glad you had a good time. Property Owner
Christine May 2022

“Cherry tree cottage is a delightful holiday home, furnished to a very high standard, and in a beautiful location.”

I felt very much at home there, and the surrounding village is totally beautiful. I particularly liked all the artworks in the cottage. For me the only drawback was the narrowness of the approach roads, and although the parking area is good, care is needed when reversing out of it.

- Christine, May 2022

Thank you Mrs Robinson for your kind comments - so glad you liked the paintings. Property Owner
Louise April 2022

“Cherry Tree Cottage was the perfect base in this idyllic part of the world.”

Our only complaint was that we couldn’t stay there longer. I would like to imagine that we can come back to explore more of the dramatic coastline and enjoy more of the warm hospitality.

- Louise, April 2022

Dear Louise, Thank you so much for your kind comments. It is a gorgeous part of Devon - we hope you will be able to come back. Elizabeth Charnley Property Owner
Eileen March 2022

“A beautiful cottage full of some lovely unexpected extras.”

Very cosy and warm. Location between 2 excellent pubs with lovely outlooks within walking distance. Both serving good food and drinks.

- Eileen, March 2022

Dear Eileen Belated thanks for your lovely comments. We are glad you had such a happy time. Elizabeth Charnley Property Owner

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage.”

It is ideally situated in Noss Mayo and we look forward to staying there again in the future.

Dear Sharon, Belated thanks for your really kind comments. We really hope you can return to this lovely village. Elizabeth Charnley Property Owner
Edwin September 2021

“Lovely cottage.”

We have stayed in Noss Mayo before and love it’s location. Cherry Tree is centrally located for the walking and the local amenities . It was a lovely stay - the accommodation was very clean and comfortable with great attention to detail .The lovely bottle of wine on arrival was a fantastic gesture and settled us in for our week away from it all .Would highly recommend this cottage

- Edwin, September 2021
Patricia September 2021

“A lovely cottage with lots of extra comforts.”

Great well looked after gardens with wonderful views from the top terrace. Not really room for two cars, but free parking near by. The single track roads, with passing places can be a bit challenging. Beautiful setting and great for walking and getting away from it all.

- Patricia, September 2021
Nick July 2021

“Pretty cottage, comfy and very conveniently placed in the village.”

The Ship in was really good and very friendly less than 5mins from the cottage!

- Nick, July 2021
Patricia May 2021

“Noss Mayo is one of my favourite spots in Devon.”

Have visited the area many times. The cottage was warm and very comfortable. Ideally situated for coastal walks, and near to two very good pubs. Also walkable to Newton Ferrers, with another good pub and shops. Not far to drive to other towns of interest, such as Plymouth, Dartmouth and Salcombe.

- Patricia, May 2021
Christopher April 2021

“We had a delightful stay in a wonderful spot .”

We were greeted by some lovely touches with the note, clotted cream scones jam and a delicious claret . Thank you HH and thank you Mrs Charnley

- Christopher, April 2021
Andrew October 2020

“Generally the cottage is good.”

Perfect location, cosy and warm + and well equipped. But there is a very strong smell of damp downstairs, particularly in the bedroom.

- Andrew, October 2020

We are sorry that you felt the cottage was damp recently. It is an old fisherman’s cottage with thick stone walls, which during the wettest October on record does need a little extra heat to stop this. We always encourage our guests not to be shy of increasing the temperature of the central heating and using the small, portable de-humidifier, in the cupboard with the washing machine and drier. We have found that this simple technique works over a couple of hours . Property Owner

Toby December 2019

“We loved Cherry Tree Cottage and Noss Mayo.”

The cottage had everything we could have asked for and more. It was one of those places you could just step in to and feel at home. Noss Mayo itself is a great place to stay. The Ship Inn deservedly gets a lot of good reviews, but we really enjoyed the Ship Inn with good pub grub and a real locals atmosphere. Our dog would happily have stayed on Mothercombe beach for the entire week.

- Toby, December 2019

The bed is so comfortable and the duvet was so soft we went to house of Fraser to buy one for our own home! Thank you!

Michael June 2019

“On arrival after a relatively lengthy journey in old cars in poor weather we were most pleasantly surprised by the welcoming feel to the cottage.”

Kettle on, and feet up, we found it a relaxing pleasant place to be. The weather was determined to spoil things, but thankfully failed. The only issue from the incessant rain was a leak in the kitchen which appeared to be from the flue housing the hob extractor flue. It was dripping down onto the worktop. We simply put a bowl to catch the drips. It should be noted it was running past the split adaptor for the downlights, so could potentially short out if left wet for long enough. Whilst looking on top of the wall units I noticed that this was the only area of the cottage that wasn't spotlessly clean! The neighbours, Annabel on one side and Patrick on the other, were delightful, charming and most welcoming to us. They were probably the "magic ingredient" that made the holiday so special for us. Lots of information on the village and the region, friendly chit-chat and banter, they were instrumental in our enjoyment of our holiday. The little garden opposite is a delightful little haven of peace. Beautifully kept in a characterful unkempt style by the gardener we did enjoy a few minutes of happy time in there before the rain forced us in again.. I did unfortunately break a tea mug on the concrete. We did replace it with another, as close to the original as possible, but if found unacceptable when checked, please let me know. The inventory in the cottage seemed complete and comprehensive, short of nothing that we could see. The bed upstairs was beautifully comfortable. Downsides? None really. Access in and out of the village could be at times a little tedious, with the over-used narrow lanes requiring frequent back-ups to let oncoming traffic past. I think this might be annoying in July/ August, so we would probably not come then. At one point the ignitor on the gas hob refused to stop clicking, even when all the rings were turned off. On touching it I did receive a low voltage,high amperage shock. We switched it off at the mains, gave it a thorough clean, dried it completely, and on switching it on again, it seemed to be behaving itself. Would we come back? Definitely! I might even work on Gill to come back at the New Year, if the cottage is empty, and reasonably priced! I hope this little note satisfies your requirements, but do please feel free to come back to us if you wish. Michael and Gill Harcourt

- Michael, June 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your stay at Cherry Tree Cottage. We have spoken with the owner who has arranged for 2 electricians to visit the property since your stay and has confirmed all electrical appliances are safe. We believe the torrential rain during your stay dislodged 2 tiles, allowing rain to drip into the kitchen, we have since had these tiles repaired. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future, fingers crossed for better weather! Property Owner

Wendy September 2018

“Super cottage, our 5th visit.”

So this says it all. Bit disappointed that the previous week's guests were left wine and cake, whereas a basic not even any milk was left for us for a much deserving coffee on arrival. We were careless enough to pull the door to and get locked out mid week. Rang the first number...no, we couldn't leave an email. Rang the second mobile number....no answer. Jackie, our last resort at Helpful Holidays was excellent, professional and helpful. Seems that this has been an issue before us, so a 2nd keysafe has been installed. Had we have been able to contact the Caretaker first thing (or read this in the cotttage info on our arrival, had it been there) ..we would not have had to worry (despite it being our fault) and resolved in a few minutes. **Owner Response** We are sorry that, due to a delivery problem, no welcome pack was available. We were however very glad that our caretaker was able to respond promptly when our guests accidentally locked themselves out of the cottage.

- Wendy, September 2018
Anthony September 2018

“Pub-restaurants are liable to reduce kitchen opening and food service as soon as the high season is over.”

Some local roads were closed for maintenance and traffic sent on difficult diversions. Dogs (many of them!) were friendly and well-behaved, everywhere. Beware of satnav shortcuts in the narrow lanes. Helpful Holidays did very well to accommodate a last-minute booking.

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: 5'10" ceiling in one place on stairs. Arrival after 4pm.
