I had a lovely room, breakfast was enjoyable and I felt well looked after. I was disappointed though that I was unable to watch TV as was told there was something wrong with the remote control. They were unable to rectify this during my 3 night stay.

Had a wonderful warm welcome from John when we arrived. Lovely garden to sit in. Not only were the breakfasts great but we were welcomed back from our day out with home baked cake. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Nothing was too much trouble and breakfast is fantastic with lots of choice. We had a quiet room at the back but it is very cramped, my only reason for not giving 5 for everything

Property was excellent. Our room was big enough with room for storage. Bathroom was clean, shower was always hot. Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent choice, quantity and quality. Walk into Totnes was 10 mins to the edge of the town and 20 mins into the middle. Friendly hosts and highly recommended

Lovely little B&B about 10 mins walk from the centre of Totnes. Very friendly welcome from the hosts Sandra and John. Superb hosts who live at the property and who are there to offer advice and help. Fabulous breakfast with lots of choices and lovely little conservatory to eat there. Room was spotless with lots of lovely toiletries. A good find .
