The Porthole

Stay | Drift | Explore

Perched above the still waters of the River Yealm, The Porthole is a considered coastal retreat in the heart of Newton Ferrers, South Devon. With soft, neutral interiors and sweeping estuary views, every detail has been shaped by its setting — calm, natural and deeply connected to the landscape beyond.

Tucked within one of South Devon’s most picturesque estuaries, Newton Ferrers distils the essence of coastal village life. Narrow lanes wind down to the water’s edge, boats nod gently in the tide, and woodland paths lead to Noss Mayo and hidden beaches beyond. It’s a place where time slows, the air tastes of salt, and life moves to the rhythm of the river.

More than somewhere to stay, The Porthole is an invitation to pause. To light the fire, linger over coffee on the balcony, or spend the day exploring the quiet beauty of the South Hams. Here, simplicity feels like luxury — and every moment belongs to the Yealm.
