The Yealm

Stay | Drift | Explore

Perched above the tranquil waters of the River Yealm, The Porthole is a beautifully designed coastal retreat in the heart of Newton Ferrers, South Devon. Every detail — from its soft, neutral interiors to the sweeping estuary views — has been considered to create a space that feels calm, connected and quietly luxurious.

Set on one of South Devon’s most picturesque estuaries, Newton Ferrers captures the essence of coastal living. Wander tidal paths shaded by oaks, explore wooded creeks and hidden beaches, or cross to Noss Mayo for long, lazy lunches overlooking the water. Here, every turn reveals another glimpse of the river’s rhythm and the village’s understated charm.

More than a place to stay, The Porthole invites you to slow down and breathe with the tide. Whether it’s quiet mornings by the fire, afternoons exploring the South Hams coastline, or evenings watching the light fade across the Yealm — this is coastal living, beautifully distilled.
