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.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay
4.0
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Location and key code entry were ideal for our short stay.
Couldn’t find welcome pack or relevant containers for recycling, but left details for cleaner; also about what wasn’t working!

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 !!)

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 :-)

We found the cottage to be perfect for our needs and very clean and comfortable with everything we required being available the only slight downside is the parking but we were aware of this before we booked and it was found to be not a huge inconvenience the car park being very close by .It is hard to believe the cottage is so very near to the town centre as it is such a quiet and peaceful location. We would highly recommend this cottage and would book it again if we ever need to be in the area again

Delightful cottage
Very clean and well equipped cottage. Well located for town. No parking but can use Victoria car park round the corner-no charge between 18.30 and 08:00.
Cooker thermostat might need looking at - I burnt a cake! (Which I don’t normally do)

The property was clean and a good location
It was in a good location the parking was a nightmare and the car parks were expensive. The property was clean but the stairs were very steep they were no good for people with mobilty problems. The garden was not clean and it did not advertise how unsafe the adjoining garden was. I thought the garden was not dog friendly or child friendly due to how next doors garden was. Good location for shopping in Devon.

A super South Hams bolthole
A super perfectly formed little cottage. We'd definitely book again. Very comfortable furniture with straighter back chairs and soft sofa to suit e everyone. It was really nice to see the Welcome Pack with milk etc for a cuppa after a long journey. Quite a few bits left by previous holidaymakers, such as oil, vinegar, etc, which helped. The back yard has a shared set of steps but 13A has its own table and chairs. We spent many uninterrupted hours out there. Its about 30 seconds from the short stay car park (Victoria), and about 5 mins up the hill to the long stay ones (Heath, Nursery, Heath Nursery). The RingGo parking system is fantastic.

TERRIBLE HOST AND PROPERTY
From beginning to end this host was absolutely awful. I asked him for the full postcode before leaving, he responded by saying Ive already given it to you, which he had during an earlier email which Id missed, this was my first experience with this man with no manners.
On entering the property we were met with a damp musty smell. I can only presume the whole house had been 'cleaned' with the same cloth. We found the streak marks everywhere.
There were stains on the kitchen floor, the 'patio' was inaccessible and absolutely filthy, anybody with children could not let their children out there, we never even left our dog out there.
The mat in the kitchen was rotten. The bath mat was covered in mould.
I voiced my concerns to the 'man with no manners' who said we were the only ones who had ever complained, I don't believe this for a minute.
I said I could send photos if he gave me his email address - no response.
We were asked to leave the property at 10am. We were flustered when at 9.30 the house keeper knocked who was very rude and told us to leave, I explained we had another 30 mins.
My elderly mum fell down the stairs as another thing the 'man with no manners' won't tell you is that there isn't a hand rail right down the stairs, so if you're going with elderely or children be very careful.
After we left I received the most abusive email from the 'man with no manners' who accused us of all sorts of things, totally untrue and deducted £60 from our deposit.
Please don't book this cottage as you will be very dissapointed.

Nice base for Totnes and Dartmouth area
Nice base for the area. Cottage is clean and has everything you need for a week away. No issues with the host. Loads of clean towels, good kitchen and dish washer and clothes washer if you need them. Only a few minutes walk to the high street for all the shops and bars. Would return again. If you are worried about parking as some reviews have said download the RingGo app and leave your car at the long marsh car park. The app sends you reminders to top up. It’s £4:20 a day as it’s free 18:00 to 08:00. The local buses are great. £5:00 day rover ticket and you will be able to see the whole area. Parking is an issue all over Devon but it is easy to get about without a car.

Totnes Cottage
Excellent cottage, a really good central position in Totnes for all amenities, pubs, eateries, super market and the high street. It's a good base for exploring the surrounding areas. The cottage provides everything you'll need for your stay.

Excellent location
We would recommend this cottage, plenty of room for 2 or 4 people, well equipped and very clean with a small courtyard, which s always a bonus in Totnes as outside space hard to find sometimes Ii is located very centrally in to the wonderful town of Totnes., with an abundance of bohemian independent shops and eateries and a good choice of pubs/restaurants.
Would highly recommend the 'pie shop'! Or venture slightly further afield to Ashprington to a very friendly Durant Arms or Tuckenhay to The Warermans Arms on the river. Plenty to do in Totnes. Would highly recommend the walk along the Dart Trail to Dartmouth (or you could break it up and get dart ferry part way there/back if 14 miles is a bit much). Beaches within 20-30 mins drive - blackpool sands and bantham beach worth a visit too.
Would definitely return to this cottage. Thank you

Cute Little Cottage
A lovely, quaint old cottage, amply supplied with all you need for your stay. The area is great. Parking is difficult but can easily be solved by installing the parking app on your phone. You can then renew your parking at 8am from the cottage. Just a couple of points - there is no DVD player and check-in is at 2:30.

A very pleasant week away
It started with some confusion as the Lady was still cleaning as she had a different time than we were given which wasn't an issue but needs addressing.
The rooms are lovely and clean, bedrooms and beds are very comfy. Kitchen is functional a pleasant. Likewise the lounge area.
The huge thick walls means it is cool in the summer sun and warm in the cooler evenings.
There is a very small patio which is shared with the neighbour and they were not there so not an issue, but it needs to be made clear.
A down side for us was the lounge furniture. On the first day it was fine, but there is only a two seater sofa which was quite comfy, the other chairs, less so. As there was three of us one remained on the upright chairs which after a day's hike was the last thing that was needed.
We'd have liked access to a hoover to clean as we were there for a week and unfortunately there isn't one.
Bathroom was fine and practical but the shower a little disappointing but that's an electric shower for you.
Would we stay again? Yes, but please, explain to customers about Totnes and the extortionate cost of parking and the fact that long term parking is several hundred metres away. Not an issue, we were fine with this but please, this needs to be in the description.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we'd certainly be happy to return. The bottle of milk, complimentary biscuits, tea, coffee etc was a nice touch, thank you.

Visiting my mother
This house was a convenient location for visiting my mother. The weather was good which meant walks to and from car parks was pleasant. The house was warm and comfortable and had a sunny terrace for sitting outside. It would have been useful to have saucepans to go with the many lids and the cooker oven was not that clean. Good shower and plenty of towels.
