+ The Old Forge was a surprise as it was so close to the town centre, yet wonderfully tranquil. Superb garden, very comfortable room and light and airy breakfast room, and a very friendly and helpful owner who made me feel at home. I spent the night there as a birthday treat and I was given a special birthday breakfast the following morning. If you are looking for somewhere quiet and comfortable to stay but within walking distance of Totnes town centre then this is the place to stay.
− There was nothing I didn't like. It was a perfect stay.
