Tucked away on the south side of the beautiful Yealm Estuary, the waterside village of Noss Mayo sits around 10 miles east of Plymouth in South Devon, opposite its neighbouring village, Newton Ferrers.
Surrounded by rolling wooded hills and sheltered waters, this stunning corner of Devon is perfect for sailing, coastal exploring, and walks of every length – with The Ship Inn ideally placed for a well-earned drink, long lunch, or relaxed dinner by the water.

A note on access & tides
Please be aware that access via the tidal car park may be affected by the tide, particularly for guests with mobility concerns.
When the tide is in, access from the car park can become restricted and you may need to use the Passage Road entrance, which includes steps. We recommend checking local tide times ahead of your visit or getting in touch with our team if you have any accessibility questions – we’re always happy to help.
