Firefly Location
If you’re looking for somewhere special to stay where you can stroll down to the most magical of beaches and relax with a book, walk the South West Coastal Path or try a spot of wild swimming in pristine clear waters, a Holbeton holiday ticks all the boxes.
You may not have even heard of Holbeton, it’s not one of those villages you would just drive through… it’s truly off the beaten track! This charming traditional Devon village is tucked away into the hillside above the River Erme estuary, close to the beautiful beaches of Mothecombe and Coastguards. The village has just one pub and a post office store but it’s very well connected. It’s just a short drive to the waterside villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, just 7 miles to the charming market town of Modbury and 10 miles from Plymouth.
