Luxury self-catering accommodation in Totnes

If you are looking for a holistic holiday, Totnes has it all. Here, alternative therapies, an intriguing history and achingly beautiful countryside combine in the heart of South Devon, and the town's idyllic position on the banks of the River Dart only adds to the magic. This unique and charming market town has an international reputation for its diverse community and artsy atmosphere. The retail side is mostly independent and famed for its promotion of wholefoods and ethical, fair-trade goods. Beyond its vibrant highstreet there is plenty to explore. Sip on locally-produced wine with a tour around Sharpham Vineyard, hop on a 19th century steam train at the South Devon Valley Railway and go boating up the river Dart (although not necessarily in that order). Foodies will not want to miss Totnes' award-winning Good Food Market, held on the third Sunday of every month. If you want to venture a little further, head north west to Dartington Hall. The 1200-acre private estate and educational charity is home to a Grade I-listed house and gardens, boasting a dazzling diary of interesting events.
