    delicious food

    Just a decent option for a fleeting pause in Totnes with fantastic value for money. The beef and red wine pie was the best pie I’ve ever eaten. Tip, Make a reservation for dinner to enjoy the delicious food.

    Charming pub with a rich history dating back to the 1320s. the outdoor seating area provides a lovely ambiance, particularly for enjoying meals while soaking up the local scenery. Unique character throughout the building adds a quaint, old-world feel that's perfect for those curious about historic accommodations.

    Heavy foot traffic noise from the bar below can be distracting, especially late into the night, as the conversations carry right into the rooms. The layout of the accommodations resembles outdated 1980s decor, which lacks modern appeal. some rooms have a cramped feel with insufficient storage space. Access to the rooms requires navigating narrow, steep stairs that may be challenging, particularly in low light. Shower temperature adjustments can be tricky and lacking safety features like rubber anti-slip pads make it a bit of a gamble, depending on your shower dexterity.

    Historic charm, Beautifully restored bar, Atmosphere of a traditional inn

    The noise from the bar area travels through paper-thin walls!!! Live music can disrupt sleep, while late-night commotion makes it hard to relax after hours!!!

    Couples looking for a nice getaway

    The service was impeccable, especially from Anton, who delivered our delicious main course and even suggested a wine my wife never tried before! The quirky room was cozy with fluffy towels and a comfortable bed, creating a perfect relaxing atmosphere for our stay.

    Sure, it wasn't exactly a bargain, but still felt reasonable.

    We had a fantastic time at this charming pub. The fish and chips were incredibly fresh and the seafood chowder, though different from the picture, was quite enjoyable. Plus, the rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable!

    The ambiance was charming, enhanced by friendly and attentive staff who truly made the experience enjoyable. The room was superb, featuring convenient amenities like a fan for the warm weather. Although there was a frustrating wait for food, it was delicious and perfectly cooked upon arrival, with large portions that didn’t disappoint. A highlight was the assortment of delectable muffins during breakfast.

    I loved staying here because it was such a short walk to the charming Dartington Hall Estate and Gardens, which I enjoyed exploring each morning, and the historic Totnes Castle was an easy 20-minute stroll that allowed me to appreciate the local scenery along the way. the staff were friendly and efficient overall.

    Fantastic food & friendly vibes!

    Had an awesome stay! Food was top-notch, and the staff were super friendly, making us feel welcomed right away. The location’s spot on and easy to find after a little bit of wandering. Just a heads up, the coffee prep noise might get a bit loud if you’re in room 3 and turning in early. it was a memorable time!

    Charming Atmosphere with Delicious Food

    I recently enjoyed my stay at a delightful inn where the staff welcomed us warmly right from the start. The room was beautifully decorated, and the Sunday roast we had for dinner was simply exceptional. The highlight of our visit was the lovely full English breakfast served in the charming dining room the next morning! My only suggestion for improvement would be to ensure better parking management.

    The Cott Inn exudes charm with its cosy log fires and thoughtful decor. I felt very comfortable and appreciated the occasional nooks for a relaxed gathering, making it senior-friendly.

    Improved soundproofing between rooms would enhance comfort.
