Silver Moon 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.

The lodge was lovely and very beautifully done. Very clean and well maintained. The hot tub was the main reason we booked the lodge and it didn't disappoint. We did bring some wood for it (after reading the booking information before leaving home luckily) but we were very grateful for the wood left for us to heat it up the first time. The location was beautiful and peaceful. Exactly what we were looking for our 10 year wedding anniversary getaway. The contact from you has been amazing and the WhatsApp message from the owners on the day of arrival was appreciated.

What a wonderful stay at Silver Moon. A beautiful location, and great accommodation. The bed was soo comfy, and the hut was perfectly warm on an autumnal visit. The hot tub was definitely a bonus! I will be back, and I've already been recommending to friends. Thank you again, the Finest Stays team. As always a memorable holiday.

We had a great stay at Silver Moon. The cabin was beautifully finished with lots of thoughtful touches. (Lovely shampoo etc, cute fairy lights, yummy treats for us on arrival and a very comfy mattress!) The hot tub was a real highlight and the instructional video made it super easy to use. The views were stunning too. Overall, a really relaxing and enjoyable trip.

We had a fantastic stay here at Silver Moon. The views were beautiful and it's so quiet! Perfect for recharging your batteries and a Romantic break away. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and revisit! It was so perfect and romantic, we even got engaged 💍 ❤️ Everything here was perfect and the hot tub does get too hot so be careful but very easy to light and use and does retain its heat really well. Loved everything about it. Thank you for making everything so easy, right from the initial enquiry.

Ms Keith

We had a fantastic stay, thank you. It’s a cosy cabin in a beautiful spot! That was in February…can only imagine how much better it would be in Spring/Summer even. Great location to visit other places in the South Hams too. I would definitely give it 5 stars.

Walking

Holbeton Walks One of our favourite Holbeton walks is along the South West Coast Path which lies about a mile from the village so it's easy to join the trail and hike this stunning stretch of coastline. It's just a 20 minute drive to the iconic Dartmoor National Park with its wide open spaces and dark night skies. Welcome to a landscape of giant granite boulders, towering tors, rivers and reservoirs. Home to the famous Dartmoor pony, rare birds and butterflies, Dartmoor offers an exciting and challenging walking experience for seasoned hikers as well as the more gentle routes for an afternoon stroll. We recommend the OS Explorer map OL20 (South Devon) which then gives you access to the OS app with a mobile download. Just to get you on the right track we’ve put together some of our favourite top Holbeton walks, starting with a stroll to the coast. To the beach 1.8 miles (2.9 km) - easy Holbeton to Mothecombe PL8 1LB You'll get to know this well trodden Holbeton walk like the back of your hand during your stay. Explore Devon's country lanes in this undiscovered corner as you gently wind your way down to this beautiful and unspoilt beach. Starting in Fore Street, slide left onto Church Hill and walk for 0.4 miles. Take a left turn and continue for 0.6 miles, another slight left and walk for 0.9 miles then left again for 0.2 miles. Turn right and head on down to the beach.Full details and elevation here Wonwell Beach to Kingston 5.5 miles (8.9 km) - strenuous Starting at St James the Less Church, Kingston, TQ7 4QE One of our favourite Holbeton walks, this beautiful trail follows the River Erme and along some of the most dramatic cliff tops in South Devon before dipping down to the isolated Westcombe Beach. Stop off for a picnic lunch and a swim before winding your way back inland to Kingston. Look out for butterflies: the Orange Tip, Regal, Red Admiral and Peacock love the grassy habitat along the path. Look out for the Oystercatchers feeding on Westcombe beach while the Ravens perform acrobatics along the cliff tops. If you’re lucky you may even spot the Peregrine Falcon! We love this walk in May when the woods are carpeted with bluebells dotted with wild garlic. Full details and map showing the route here Mothecombe to Noss Mayo (and back) 5.75 miles 9.21 km - easy to moderate (return 11.5 miles/ 18.42 km) Starting at Mothecombe beach carpark From the carpark head down towards Mothecombe beach and turn right (west) to follow the coast path which takes you around the headland to Meadowsfoot beach, then take the signposted road down to Noss Mayo. The coastline is beautiful, part of the coastal path is a former carriage drive where the gentry would stop for a picnic in the cliff top summerhouse. This version of the walk breaks away from the coast path at Stoke beach and cuts along the road to Noss Mayo. Stop off at one of the pubs in Noss Mayo for lunch before heading home. You can either head back along the same route or continue along the coast path from Noss Mayo along the Revelstoke Drive so you’re walking along the coast back to the carpark. Full details and map here Avon Dam & Zeal Tor Tramway 7 miles medium difficulty (or 3 miles easy, to the dam and back). Toilets and information board. Car park. Start the walk at Shipley Bridge near South Brent (TQ10 9EL). A beautiful walk which follows the River Avon. This dramatic river is lined with giant granite rocks as it opens up onto moorland with sheep grazing. There are two options for this walk; you can either stop at the Dam and retrace your steps back to the car park or continue onto Huntingdon Cross, Petre’s Cross and the Tramway. This is part of the former Zeal Tor tramway which dates back to 1846 and delivered the clay and peat from Redlake to Shipley Bridge. Pick up trail and details of the walk here.

Beaching

Holbeton Beaches If you’re looking for a beach which is totally unspoilt and untouched by tourism, a beach which is perfect for a romantic picnic, sublime for wild swimming and excellent for watersports. A beach of childhood dreams and safe for children… look no further, we have some hidden gems up our sleeves. Holbeton beaches are all the above with plenty of parking and a charming Italian style cafe/restaurant (open all day) and loos. Admittedly they involve a short walk but they are pushchair friendly, and who doesn’t like to improve their step count? Our Holbeton beaches have to be some of the best! Mothecombe Beach (Meadowsfoot) Mothecombe beach is idyllic. The beach of childhood dreams. If you’re looking to escape the rat race and chill out on the sands, Mothecombe delivers! Pretty much untouched and void of development since the 19th century, this sheltered cove at the mouth of the River Erme Estuary. Needless to say it's perfect for children with gently shelving sands leading down to the water. If you’re looking for activities; take the paddleboard, kayak or bodyboard and get out on the water or plunge in for a spot of wild swimming. Kids will love scrambling over the rocks to the rockpools with a net and bucket or building sandcastles and waiting for the moat to fill up on the incoming tide. Facilities Mothecombe car park in a designated field and is open daily, (last entry at 5pm and gates will be closed and locked at 7pm) charges: From April 1st – September 30th £6 per day (£3 after 3pm). Pay parking attendant on entry. schoolhouse cafe/ bistro public toilets at the schoolhouse book an early morning beach fitness session Access : Park at the beach car park, turn left and cross into a field, follow the gravel path through the woods down to the beach. Suitable for prams. Mothecombe is privately owned by the Flete Estate and is open daily to the public. Dogs are welcome from the 1st October to 30th April. We love – an afternoon of paddle boarding and a picnic on the sands… this Rupert Bear beach is the best! Photo credit: Visit Plymouth Coastguards Beach Just around the corner from Mothecombe Beach is Coastguards Beach, a vast expanse of sand which stretches for half a mile at low tide. Straddling the River Erme close to the mouth, this magnificent tidal beach is perfect for kids (and dogs) to let off steam and splash in the river shallows down to the sea. A great place for paddle boarding, kayaking and bodyboarding with easy access to a slipway. Explore the estuary at low tide with its hidden coves and rock pools. It’s also possible to cross the river onto Wonwell Beach at lopw tide (between the two slipways which is part of the South West Coastal Path route.) Facilities Park at the Mothecombe car park in a designated field and is open daily, (last entry at 5pm and gates will be closed and locked at 7pm) charges: From April 1st – September 30th £6 per day (£3 after 3pm). Pay parking attendant on entry. School House cafe/ bistro for takeaway and eat ins public toilets at the schoolhouse Access Park at the beach car park, exit through the gate and turn left to walk down the lane which is narrow and quite steep. At the bottom of the hill you’ll reach the breach. There are a couple of bollards but allows good access for horse riding, wheelchairs, prams and water sports kit. We love – this vast beach is easy to access with the kids, perfect for a big family picnic and a splash about in the shallows at low tide - amazing! Wonwell Beach Wonwell Beach You can access Wonwell Beach at low tide from Coastguards Beach by crossing the River Erme between the two slipways. The beach is beautiful and mirrors Coastguards, look upstream and you’ll see an old lime kiln on the sands, (constructed between 1700-1850 and in use until the early 20th century). This is a great spot for birdwatching. Parking on this side of the river is very restricted, especially during weekends and holidays so we wouldn’t recommend driving to Wonwell. The South West Coastal Path crosses the river, this is a fabulous walk which, heading east, leads on to Beacon Point and the beautiful Ayrmer Cove, an otherwise relatively inaccessible beach accessed only by footpaths. Facilities and access Recommend parking at the Mothecombe car park and crossing the river at low tide. Parking on the lane leading down to Wonwell is restricted and can often get congested. there are no facilities on the beach We love – dog walking at low tide, this such a fabulous expanse of sand for the pooch to let off steam and get very wet and sandy! Wembury Beach This beautiful beach is owned by the National Trust and is very popular with families. It's the perfect spot for rock pooling too. The Marine Conservation Centre offers educational rockpool rambles to help you identify the molluscs lurking within. Wembury is perfect for children with a gently shelving beach and generally good quality sea water. Facilities park by the church just up from the beach beach side refreshment kiosk and café/restaurant toilets Wembury Beach is dog friendly between 1 October and 30 April Access Wembury Beach PL9 0JG just a short walk from the carpark to the beach We love – Relaxing with on the beach with a flask of tea and a book Photo credit: Visit Plymouth Nearby Beaches... discover more beautiful beaches just a short drive away from Holbeton
