The West Country / Devon region

Wherever you find yourself in the South Hams, by the river or seaside, in the centre of a bustling village or the heart of the countryside, you will find something of interest. The choices on offer are diverse and the settings, with attractions, water sports, museums, coastal walks, boat trips and festivals, adding to that diversity.

The Modbury area

If you are here with the family then the array of family attractions and entertainment available to you will not disappoint. With over 60 miles of spectacular coastline and the neighbouring Dartmoor National Park, what to do first will be your hardest choice.

Here are a few of our favourite places:

The beach at Bigbury Bay :
Check tides in the local directory and plan your outing to fit in with high/low tides. When the tide is high there is still a lot of clean, soft sand, but as it ebbs there are many exciting rock-pools and vast expanses of superb sand. You also get to come back from Burgh Island on the sea tractor! Try The Pilchard Inn for lunch on the island - it used to be a smugglers' haunt. If you enjoy windsurfing, kitesurfing or bodyboarding this beach is for you.

The beach at Mill Bay :
Opposite Salcombe, via East Portlemouth. There is a National Trust carpark, a good beach shop, and for the energetic a 30 minute walk across the fields takes you to the Gara Rock Hotel, where the views are stunning and the refreshments well worthwhile - if you walk back via the coast (45 minutes) you won't be disappointed. Alternatively have lunch at the Millbrook Inn South Pool then catch the little ferry over to Salcombe for a browse. Don't miss the local pubs and museum beneath the Tourist Information Centre in Salcombe.

The beach at South Sands :
Next to Salcombe. Park at the hotel or at the National Trust carpark at Sharpitor Gardens where there is a superb picnic spot with a fantastic view, gardens reminiscent of the Mediterranean, and an interesting museum where children will spend some time doing the quiz and looking for Fred the friendly ghost in the children's area through the secret door. You could hire canoes etc. at south Sands or catch the ferry boat to Salcombe, walking back along the coast lane - once again stunning views.

Dartmoor :
One of Devon’s most spectacular assets, Dartmoor National Park covers around 369 square miles of open moorland, rocky tors and hidden river valleys. Walk along some of the hundreds of miles of public rights of way, climb the majestic tors which rise high above the moor, and experience the view across miles of rolling Devon countryside. Dartmoor is home to plentiful native wildlife, including the famous Dartmoor ponies.

The Round Robin trip :
By boat, ferry, steam train and open-top double decker bus. You can pick this up at Totnes or Dartmouth - we find Totnes more convenient. You can take all day over this, stopping off en route, or nip around in about two hours. There is also a steam train from Buckfastleigh to Totnes with a vintage bus connection.

Morwhellham Quay :
Combined with Buckfast Abbey (of Francis Drake fame) or Cotehele, a National Trust property suitable for dreaming swashbuckling youngsters.

The Aquarium in Plymouth :
Not to be missed - ideal for a rainy day - very new and allegedly the best in the country. It has a fantastic shark tank.

Dartmouth Castle :
You can park up there or if you are more energetic you could park the car in the National Trust carpark at Stoke, walk along the coastal path or track (shorter/easier at 25 minutes), visit the castle then take the ferry into Dartmouth.

The Visitor's Centre at Princetown :
Followed by a trip over Dartmoor (beautiful place) and antique shopping in Ashburton or white water rafting and other adventures at the Dart Country Park.

Woodlands Theme Park and Pennywell Farm :
These are perfect whole days out for children with lots to do rain or shine.

Just a few more...
We love to visit the Dartington Arts Centre, Miniature Pony Centre, Becky Falls and the Eden Project together with Lanhydrock (about one hour drive, but leave early to be there by 10 am, otherwise arrive at 2pm) - and of course all the fantastic coastline walks.

Finally, pamper your tastebuds :
You should not be disappointed if you eat at The California Inn at California Cross, The Ship and The Anchor at Ugborough, the New Inn at Moreleigh, the old Church House at Harbertonford, the Tower Inn at Slapton, the Port Light between Soar Mill and Hope Coves, Pig Finca in Kingsbridge, the Ship and Dolphin at Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo - and last but by far the least, the Oyster Shack at Easton, on the way to Bigbury - or you could just eat in as Jasmine Chinese Restaurant in Kingsbridge offer a free delivery service too, which can save the day if all else fails. But no doubt you will find favourites of your own - the opportunities appear to be endless. Alternatively you could just go fishing, put your feet up, play the odd game of tennis, take a dip in the pool, read a good book, listen to the birds or some light music and relax in the garden.

Whatever you do - enjoy!

“excellent, relaxing break” We have stayed here 3 times and every time we have managed to see and do different things in the area. Dartmoor is within easy reach and the coast is beautiful, hope cove, salcombe and bigbury on sea are lovely days out. The cottage is excellent if like us you are holidaying with extended family as they had the top floor and my lot had the middle floor :) The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of extra bowls, cutlery etc and the garden is great for catching what little sunshine we had this year. The pool is always warm - which is lovely when the weather is rubbish and we pretty much always had it to ourselves in the morning even though it was Easter. The only criticism I have is that the shower pressure in the first floor bedroom is really poor but we showered at the pool which was really good so it wasnt a problem. We put the heating on as well as it got cold and the cottage was really cosy. The local garage shop sells really nice local produce not just Spar products and essential foods. The pub was good value and we ate their twice with good food both times. highly recommended :)

“Absolutely perfect...! Paradise !” Now our 3rd year of staying at this beautiful location. The house is ideal for either a quiet couple of a family with kids. Pool on the doorstep and loads of places to explore on the estate or in surrounding areas. Close to beautiful coastland and beaches too. All in all a very pleasurable stay enabling us all to unwind gently... Highly recommended.

“Best we have tried.” We have stayed in lots of holiday cottages in the South West but the Colmer Estate is the best and the one we have come back to. Having a relatively small number of properties makes it really special. Mill cottage represents good value if you need extra bedrooms and there was everything we needed.

“a holiday home from home” top class holiday home on beautiful country estate lovely outside swimming pool for sunny days and warm indoor pool for nippier days. the cotttage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was well located with easy access to all local attractions such as bigbury salcombe kingsbridge etc. my intial thoughts on arrival into the courtyard of cottages was "we've hit the jackpot here!" and that thought did not evaporate throughout the week even though the weather wasnt too good

“Will definately stay again” We stayed in Mill cottage over easter, gorgeous weather but the cottage really made it a fantastic stay. my friend and i are foster carers so between us had 2 teenagers, a 5 year old and a baby and there was plenty to do for all with the pools, play areas, games room (basic but somewhere for the teenagers to have time to themselves) woods and all tennis court. the cottage is very well equiped and beautifully decorated. We spent most of the week on the local beaches so didnt really explore the area but Im sure we would still have been kept busy if the weather wasnt so good. Im sure we'll be back sometime soon
