Great base for Totnes visit
Very clean accommodation and good communication with the owner. As stated, the stairs are steep and were a bit of a challenge for our group of 70+ year olds! Totnes is a great place to visit and this cottage is an ideal base.

3 Storie Property in Totnes full of character
A delightful property situated in the heart of Totnes at the top of the hill. Well equipped & very clean. The owners have gone to a great deal of trouble to make your stay a comfortable one. Great friendly communication too with well organized instructions throughout the house. Loved the log fire to create a cosy warm atmosphere in these October evenings. Lovely comfortable beds too. Would stay here again. Thanks Gail, we loved staying here.

Well appointed, pretty cottage in heart of Totnes
Clean, neat and tidy property. Well equipped kitchen with instructions for use of electric items (ie: oven). All amenities close by and a very short walk into town with bars/restaurants/shops. Would recommend this property to family, friends, etc as a lovely place to stay for a break.

A convenient and comfortable stay.
We had a great time at Leechwell House. The house had everything we needed. It was clean and beautifully presented but comfortable too. We felt as though we were staying in a little bit of Totnes’ history. The house is convenient for Totnes town with its quirky shops, good restaurants and walks by the river. Parking was no problem but next time we thought we might come by train as we hardly used the car - there was so much to do within a short walk.

Spent a wonderful 2 weeks in this lovely house. A beautifully decorated and equipped place to stay, lots of thoughtful touches. Wonderfully close to the town, fabulous places to eat and drink and enjoyed the Christmas market and great vibe in Totnes. Thoroughly recommend a visit to the cinema, a truly different experience!

Beautiful house, fully equipped and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect, with easy access to a beautiful little bustling town. Plenty of car parks within a few minutes walk of the house and loads of gorgeous beaches within 20-30 minutes drive. Absolutely perfect!
