Family Holiday Cottages in Modbury

Modbury is a small South Hams market town on the old coaching route between Plymouth and Kingsbridge, surrounded by rolling countryside and within easy reach of beaches on both the south Devon and South Hams coasts. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Modbury gives you handy access to local shops, cafés and parks, as well as straightforward routes out to places like Bigbury-on-Sea, Bantham and Mothecombe. It suits families who like to explore different beaches and villages rather than staying in one resort.

With a Modbury base, one day might take you to Bigbury-on-Sea for the beach and Burgh Island, another to Bantham for surfing and sand play, and another to quieter spots like Wonwell or Mothecombe for picnics and river shallows. On in-between days you can explore local footpaths, visit farm shops or simply let children play in town and at the cottage. A self-catering stay here makes it easy to keep the car packed with beach kit, stock the fridge with picnic supplies and wind down together after whichever corner of the South Hams you have explored.
