Holbeton Holidays

On your cheap UK holidays to Holbeton in Devon, you will find yourself in a large village that is pretty as a picture; with steep, winding streets, churches and charming thatched houses. You will be based next to the forested banks of the Erme, just outside Plymouth. Nearby is Saltram House, which appeared in the film Sense and Sensibility; a huge stately home with fine state rooms and exquisite furniture, china and art. At Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum, you will discover a 17th-century schoolroom, Victorian kitchen and farm gallery. Meanwhile, on a magnificent spot over Plymouth Sound sits Mount Edgcumbe House, with its formal gardens and orangery restaurant. If you have a nautical mind, you will enjoy Overbeck's - the house named after an eccentric scientist who filled it with his bizarre inventions, including the patented rejuvenator, which gave the elderly an electric shock designed to re-energise them.
