Close to the main street, just down the road from six pubs, supermarket within walking distance, private, convenient and stress-free accommodation. Everything at your fingertips at a reasonable cost.
It is centrally located so easy for bus connections and sights in the city. All appliances worked well and the beds were very comfortable. It is an older property and was a touch musty. But can still recommend it.
The Property is like the Tardis, larger on the inside.What I didn't like were all the "Nicknacks everywhere.looked like a job lot from a jumble sale.Also it needs a new toilet seat.
Totnes is a beautiful historic town, with a wealth of unique shops on the high street. The home is in easy level access reach to the town centre and river. Our host for the accommodation was wonderful and accommodating to our needs. Happily use this home again.
Really enjoyed our stay at the property in Totnes. Location great and place feels homely. Extremely well kitted out and cooking easy as a result with a few sundries in cupboard. Decor is a little tired and a few things needed replacing (blind string fell apart from what looks like a previous repair). However had a genuinely great time and would recommend.
Stayed here with my elderly mother for 2 weeks. Perfect base of operations for exploring this area of Devon. Just one street over from the shops for convenience but far enough away for the street to be quiet at night. Beware that the stairs to the bedroom are shallow and steep, so if you have any mobility needs this might be difficult for you. Luckily this was not an issue for us.
This was the perfect place to stay while we visiting our son and his family. The bus left hourly to Newton Abbot and the town of Totnes has wonderful eateries and shops. The property was perfect,clean and had all we needed.
The property was very well appointed. We thought a lot of thought had gone into the furnishings and equipment. It was very close to the town centre which was a very big advantage and overall we really enjoyed our stay.
Like Totnes, the feel of this cottage was a bit quirky owing to its French owner perhaps. Blissfully cool inside, top 20’s out, it had everything a holidaymaker required for a comfortable stay.
It’s position to the town and river is great with the only downside being the lack of a parking space/ permit.
We had intended to go as a group but that fell apart due to illness, so only I can report.
The property is very well appointed, and in an excellent location for exploring Totnes and surrounds.
Highly recommended.
A lovely two-story cottage, very close to all the amenities of Totnes. We were very comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen, which was important to us.
The outdoor grill, mentioned in the property description, wasn’t available, unfortunately. Too bad, as it was great grilling weather for much of our stay.
Very central location a stones throw from Totnes centre. Well appointed and comfortable property all amenities provided. Would highly recommend this property to potential visitors. (A tea tray would be a useful addition though !!)
We found the position so central We spoke to the owner about a couple of issues which would enhance the property in our opinion but did not detract from the stay .The only stress was the parking as one visitor was quite poor at walking Not the owners fault .A problem in Totnes
The property was really good. However the description gives the impression that the property has parking. It does not have parking, we had to park in a car park 10 mins walk away and wake up at 8 every morning to book parking for the day. If the property owner wants to claim the property has parking then he he should provide a parking permit.
This was a characterful cottage in an ideal location in the centre of town. Mostly the fittings etc were fine but some annoying missing items incl mop for kitchen floor, extracor in bathroom and details for recycling rubbish. The biggest drawback was parking - limited parking outside property and all 24 hour parking a walkaway at a daily charge.
The house was where and what we needed for a place to stay for a family wedding, if a bit dated. The standard of cleaning could be better; Indoors was ok, the outside needs jetwashing and tidying up. There was a plastic bag on the doorstep that had clearly been there for some time & the steps were slippery and potentially dangerous. Overall the place needed to be cleaned with more attention to detail. The radio needs a decent aerial so that it doesn't 'hiss' all the time regardless of retuning.
Property very nice and convenient with all amenities needed. Close to centre of Totnes and bus stop (railway station a bit further). A bit of noise from the street in one of the bedrooms. Great travel suggestions by owner and nice walks in the area.
The property was very good equipped, very close to the city centre and also quiet - besides of the seagulls ;-) Host book very helpful for the usage of the equipments in the guesthouse.
Totnes is a very good location to visit and the distances to the points of interests is also very good.

What makes this property unique
Peaceful environment in a cottage giving you comfort and a quaint ambiance typical in a dwelling over 200 years old. 1 pet (dog small dog max. 10 kilograms but NO cat ) is allowed for an additional charge THE STAIRS leading to the upstairs bedrooms are some what steep and not suitable to mobility issues.
