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.

Outstanding location.

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.

Enjoyable

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) Alain Belment (owner)

Perfect location, lovely little place

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.
