Fox & The Firefly Cottages is a row of eleven native-style cottages on the Loboc River at Purok 2, Barangay Road, Brgy. Valladolid, Loboc — a short way upstream from the main river-cruise wharf and town centre. The property runs its own stand-up paddleboard tours on the Loboc and cooks from its own kitchen, Food & Fables, a farm-table operation; fireflies gather in the riverbank trees after dark, which the property is named for. It suits travellers who want an active, self-directed river stay rather than resort facilities — there is no pool on site. On Booking.com it holds a Very Good rating of 8.9/10 from 771 reviews as of 2026-07-23. Bohol as a whole is best known for the Chocolate Hills, tarsier sanctuaries, and the reef diving and beaches around Panglao Island. Most visitors combine a stay here with a countryside tour of the Chocolate Hills and Loboc River, alongside time on Panglao’s beaches. The province is reached by air via Bohol-Panglao International Airport or by ferry from Cebu into Tagbilaran City.
