About this property
Couples are in for a treat at The Toll House. This charming, all on one level detached cottage, lies tucked in a fold on the edge of the beautiful Yealm estuary, surrounded by National Trust woodland and has simply glorious uninterrupted views across the water, a safe haven for all manner of craft. The coastal path runs alongside the cottage, so wonderful coastal and countryside walks start literally from the doorstep. The nearby unspoilt twin villages of Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers offer an excellent selection of shops and pubs. Originally the Toll House for the Yealm Estuary Ferry the cottage still features the original toll charges on the side of the property, very evocative of a bygone era! This attractive, slightly unusual cottage, each room linking from one to the other, has been recently refurbished and provides a wonderful opportunity for couples to get away from it all, at any time of the year. Here you can explore some of the loveliest areas of South Devon, wake up to the sound of water lapping and ducks quacking, curl up on a window seat with a book or simply observe the activity on the sparkling River Yealm from the comfort of the cottage. On sunny days the pretty, gently tiered garden and summerhouse provide a peaceful spot from which to enjoy the stunning views and you can even bring your own dinghy that can be kept below the cottage on a private slipway, by arrangement.
