Modbury holiday cottages

About Modbury

A historic market town that's peppered with independent shops, pubs and cafes, holidays in Modbury offer a variety of entertainment whether you're visiting with your partner, friends, family or enjoying some peace and quiet on your own.

Potter around the antiques shops and stylish boutiques to find locally made or restored fashion and trinkets; while away your time drinking coffee and eating homemade cakes whilst reading the papers at The Lazy Cow cafe; or go for walks in the surrounding countryside and take in the rural views.

A car is a worthwhile asset to make the most of a holiday in Modbury, located within easy reach of a number of South Devon's most prized attractions and scenic locations. The town itself sits between the dramatic beauty of Dartmoor, with its exceptional walks to homely pubs and restaurants, and the breathtaking beaches that are scattered along the South West Coast Path - a meandering asset that's a walker's delight.

As South Devon is a foodie's paradise, it is well worth exploring the pretty towns and villages nearby with their restaurants, pubs and cafes offering locally produced food with a seasonal twist. Don't miss out on a Salcombe crab sandwich at least once on your holiday, and tuck into an ice cream while your toes are firmly wedged into the sand at South Milton Sands. In Modbury itself there are three great pubs serving tasty food, an Indian restaurant, Chinese takeaway and a bistro, so you don't have to look far for a delicious meal.

For families, there is no end of things to do. Happy days are spent in the fresh air, hiring boats, building sandcastles or learning to surf at Bantham beach. Go to Bigbury on Sea for a view of Burgh Island, where Agatha Christie's Poirot was filmed, or on rainy days venture to the Plymouth Aquarium or to Kingsbridge for a spot of painting at the Art Cafe.

For couples visiting this beautiful part of the world, quality time could not be found in a more scenic location. South Devon boasts a number of exceptional attractions ranging from exquisite National Trust Properties, to afternoon tea at the likes of the Thurlestone Hotel.
