On the peaceful wooded banks of the River Yealm, just three miles from the coast, holidays in Yealmpton offer a peaceful base from which to explore South Devon. Slightly off the main tourist trail, here you’ll enjoy the relaxed pace of village life, yet only ever be a short drive from Devon’s most loved attractions and activities.

Once a thriving market town, today you’ll find Yealmpton filled with a generous handful of shops, eateries and pubs. The Rose and Crown is a popular gastro pub with a large, sunny beer garden and a roaring fire come winter, while The Volunteer Inn is a proper village pub filled with friendly locals and well-kept aless. There’s also a chinese restaurant and takeaway, which you’ll be surprised to find in an ancient thatched cottage, believed to be where the nursery rhyme ‘Old Mother Hubbard’ was written. For those wishing to make the most of their self-catering cottage’s kitchen, you can stock up on organic local produce from Ben’s Farm Shop, or visit Pip’s Pick Your Own for fruit and veg as fresh as it gets.

Yealmpton is a haven for those who love to be outdoors, with loads of lovely riverside trails and countryside footpaths for dog walks or family bike rides. Head to the woods in the heart of Yealmpton, with its old network of caves, or follow the paths that weave through fields and country lanes.

When staying in Yealmpton, make sure to visit the picturesque sailing villages of Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers, only a few miles away, where you can sail, paddle, row or kayak along the sheltered estuary waters, join the South West Coast Path for mesmerising cliff top walks, and enjoy seafood suppers or sunset drinks at the three popular waterside pubs.

No trip to South Devon is complete without visiting the beaches, and a holiday in Yealmpton should be no different. For soft sand, sea swimming and a popular cafe, Mothecombe Beach is an easy drive from Yealmpton, while nearby Wembury offers lots of rockpools for young explorers.

The ocean city of Plymouth is also nearby, where you can visit the city centre’s shops, bars and restaurants, find rainy day attractions like the aquarium or cinemas, and visit the historic Barbican waterfront, home of the Mayflower Steps.

Easily contactable via text and email. I paddled on my first morning with Fiona, and had a brilliant lesson 1:1 on a lovely stretch of water at Noss.

August 2021


This business is NOT based in Noss Mayo. No renting is allowed directly on the river so this shouldn’t be advertised.

Saltram National Trust
Saltram National Trust
(4 miles)

(3)

Surrounded by tranquil gardens and historic parkland, Saltram is a Georgian country house overlooking the River Plym, with views across rolling landscapes and an abundance of green space. The house was home to the Parker family from 1743, and was designed to show their increasingly prominent status – which is partially why it’s filled with paintings by the likes of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Happily, for us however, that has made for a wonderful environment in which to explore history, wander around the rhododendrons and camellias in the garden, and discover seasonal exhibitions, events and activities for the whole family. Prices start at £10.70 for adults and £5.30 for children in peak season, however opening hours and prices vary throughout the year. There is also a £3 charge for the car park.

Lovely peaceful walks with dog taking in the beach estuary. Dogs not allowed in the house or formal garden only the parkland.

September 2023


Lovely house, not easy to get to as Plymouth roads are not well marked and lane selection is vital.

September 2023


Very friendly staff and lovely gardens - a shame we couldn't see the house because of Covid restrictions - but next time!

September 2020


Hounds Unleashed
(4 miles)

A safe, private dog excercise area for young, nervous or unpredictable dogs.  Set in a convenient location just off the A38 with Endsleigh Farm Shop and Garden Centre just next door, there are two professionally constructed exercise paddocks surrounded by 6ft high security fences and secured by double sided coded gates. Between the paddocks is a specially designed green netting to prevent dogs becoming worried or stressed by others.
