Honestly don't know where to start with explaining how good The Porthole is as a holiday home and how beautiful Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo is! I had booked this house as a surprise family get together for my dad's 70th and it did not disappoint. The house is so beautiful, extremely clean and so well equipped. The view from the balcony is gorgeous and put a smile on my face when waking up. We were very lucky with the weather and so we sat were sat outside on the terrace by 8.30 a.m. every morning drinking coffee and enjoying our breakfast. On the Saturday the weather was warm enough to have a BBQ and again, the house was supplied with a BBQ, coals etc and all the utensils needed for it. We even made use of the sun loungers which was very relaxing. Newton Ferrers is idyllic to walk around and when the tide is out, you can use the walkway to walk over to Noss Mayo, which is just as lovely. We will definitely be returning to this house and Newton Ferrers again soon! Thank you so much to Skyes Holiday Cottages for an unforgettable stay!

I thought the accommodation was great, comfortable , great view .. The only comment was the sitting room is so cold as there is only two radiators although we had the fire on it was still chilly. This wouldn’t be an issue In other months

This is one of the nicest holiday cottages we have stayed in.. It had a very homely feel so we instantly felt relaxed. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

A lovely house in a beautiful location.. Tranquil but with everything you need close at hand.

Mr Reeves

The house is pretty and comfortable with delightful views from bedrooms upstairs, but disappointing lack of view from patio due to overgrowth of shrubbery etc - suggest owners update featured photo.. Facilities within the house were good, beds comfortable, modern bathrooms and quick hot water but would recommend scratched old cooking pans renewed, also midweek the dishwasher failed, which was disappointing! Parking close to the house we found to be hit and miss, as we were out and about every day. However, would recommend this house in a beautiful part of the country!

The property was just stunning! The views from the bedrooms were amazing. The house was very well equipped and everything we needed to make our say so enjoyable. We explored this stunning part of the country and the local residents in the shops in the village were extremely helpful about places to visit. The Ship Inn in Noss Mayo was fantastic, the food was amazing and we enjoyed two lovely evenings there. In all The Porthole in stunning Newton Ferrers is a truly special place. Thank you.
