Historic market town - bohemian, quirky and vibrant. Totnes is one of our favourite places to visit! There’s a great market on Fridays and Saturdays selling street food, local produce and arts and crafts. Restaurants and cafes in abundance, lots of fabulous independent shops and the coolest little cinema! Such a pretty town - set on the River Dart. Twenty five mins drive from the cottage
