Wonderful

The cottage was a delight - even better than the website photos. The generosity and thoughtfulness of starter supplies were very much appreciated. The Christmas tree and decorations also enhanced the welcome.
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.
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.

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.
Clean and comfortable cottage. Four of us stayed (two couples) and it was perfect for our long weekend. Conveniently located near the bottom end of Totnes high street.
Good communication with the host :-)

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 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.

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.

Many thanks for your nice comments about LA CHAUMIÈRE in Totnes

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 !!)
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.
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.

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.
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.

I read your comments ,yes indeed Totnes is an old Market town and as you said a bit quirky which gives its charm and uniqueness .
As for the cottage it follows the tone of the town and has nothing to do with the nationality of the owner.
I am glad you found the cottage up to an holiday standard as for parking , the problem is the same every where but I had given you some information to help you to found parking areas .
Thank you for choosing Totnes and La Chaumiere (the name goes with the interior decoration)

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.
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.

Dual nationality, living in London. I own this property and rent it out for holidays when I am not using. I am very particular about the appearance, comfort and character of the dwelling which I cherish as home from home. I do hope people staying in it, will enjoy and appreciate the effort done to keep it to a high standard.
Why they chose this property
Totnes is a lovely town in Devon, offering alternative living and a peaceful way of life away from busy London. Ideal for long week ends and holidays in Devon.
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.
