What’s inside
The cottage is over 300 years old, so expect low doorways, steep stairs and some uneven floors. It is part of the charm, but worth knowing if you are travelling with very young children or anyone with limited mobility. A travel cot is available on request.

Wonderful stay in this little gem of a cottage. Comfortable, quirky and conveniently located in lovely Totnes. Lots of nice touches, including the very handy parking permit. Great hosts - very responsive and friendly. Will definitely be back!
A fantastic 2-night stay in Damo’s beautiful cosy cottage. He was really accommodating - even having a cot with bedding ready for our 9-month-old. It was far more spacious than we expected, with a really well-equipped kitchen, and it felt like a real home rather than a bland holiday let. A perfect location on a beautiful square, steps from the excellent Bull Inn. Our first time in Totnes, and we’ll definitely be back!
This is our second year coming to stay in Barb, and we had another wonderful 5 days here. There is so much to do in Totnes and the surrounding towns.
Wonderful cozy traditional cottage. Right at the top of Totnes high street. Many good pubs and restaurants close by. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
A lovely cottage in a perfect location to explore the area. Lots of lovely cafes in the town with a couple of great restaurants; Shaka is definitely worth a visit. There isn’t any parking at the property but Damo supplied a parking permit which enabled us to use the local car parks, 2 of which were only a couple of minutes walk away, so no problem finding a spot. A great find.
We stayed for one night in this charming old cottage. As an older property, it has a unique character. What stood out most was Damo as a host - communication before, during and after our stay was exceptional, always quick, friendly and genuinely helpful. Thank you Damo for your professionalism and kindness.
This was a great place to stay for the weekend. Perfectly situated, great array of travel / cooking essentials like coffee, spices etc that made our stay really easy. Damo was very communicative and all went smoothly. Thank you for having us!
Damo was amazing from the outset. We were here for the Dart 10k swim and felt this was an amazing base to stay whilst we prepped and recovered from the swim. Lovely comfy beds and great location next to the lovely Bull Inn and adjoining Albatross pizzeria. A lovely part of Totnes. Thank you Damo.
We really felt like we were staying in a friend’s home. Very comfortable house and the perfect location for us at the top end of town. It’s a quirky old building full of character, and the listing description was spot-on. Our hosts left various treats in the kitchen and supplies in the bathrooms. The coffee pods and coffee machine were much appreciated and enjoyed! We hope to be back.
