Nearby beaches include Paignton, Torquay and Blackpool Sands, with the very nice towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe only a twenty or thirty minute drive away.

The bustling medieval market town has a mainline railway station giving direct connections to London Paddington with easy connection to St Pancras for the Eurostar. Totnes is just a three-hour train from London, and 3 Cottage is located a fifteen minute walk from the platform to the front door.
