    Mothers Day weekend

    Great location - really clear instructions for parking etc.Owners very helpful and communicative.Lovely little square opposite property (for sitting out) and great pub/eatery (The Bull). A bit complicated on leaving to juggle stripping beds, topping up electricity card (in town) and sorting a complicated Totnes recycling system! Parking a short walk and added expense. All just worth noting so can be factored in.Overall great house and great location.

    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.

    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.
