Choose from 4 places to stay in Totnes
Totnes is a historic, slightly bohemian market town on the River Dart, known for its independent shops, cafés and weekly markets. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Totnes puts you within walking distance of the castle, riverside paths and boat trips down the Dart to Dartmouth, as well as museums and artsy corners that appeal to a range of ages. The town’s compact centre makes it easy to run errands, browse stalls and stop for treats between outings.
Families might spend a day exploring the castle and museum, then follow the river for a gentle walk or hop on a boat cruise to see the countryside from the water. On other days, you can use Totnes as a hub for trips to Dartmoor, nearby beaches or attractions like steam railways and farm parks. A self-catering stay in Totnes gives you flexibility with food, space for buggies and bags, and a lively but manageable base in the middle of South Devon.
