From the owner

Tresco is a peaceful, beautifully refurbished detached bungalow with a light, spacious contemporary feel and open plan living area. The bright sunroom and new decking area offer great chill out spaces with gorgeous views towards the Dart river valley and Dartmoor - great for that ice-cold beer and barbecue! Light and south-facing the house has a sizeable private garden, great safe place for the kids.

The Scandinavian wood-burner is toasty on cold nights. As well as the double bed and 2 single beds there are extra sleeping spaces on the sofa and 2 tatami mats.

This ancient town of Totnes is within 12 minutes walk; is rich in history, art, crafts, music, dance, culture, and sits at the head of the tidal river Dart estuary.

It is situated in the South Devon Area of Natural Beauty and is as near to the grandeur of Dartmoor as it is to the many lovely beaches, coves, river and coastal walks that abound all within 20-40 minutes drive. The Torquay area known as the 'English Riviera' is a next door neighbour. You can take gorgeous days tours from Totnes to Dartmouth on the riverboat and steam train back via Greenaway's, Agatha Christie's house and Paignton.

The town itself is brim full of unique and original small shops, selling anything from shoes, toys, arts, crafts and gemstone jewellery to books (both new and second-hand) and craft supplies.

A wholesome range of yummy bistros/restaurants and pubs abound, catering to every taste, with much emphasis on sourcing local and organic produce.

Bedroom 1 : Double, Bedroom 2 : Two single beds

Cancelled booking

Cancelled our booking without a message. Phoned Holiday Lettings and they said owner wanted way more money than was advertised. Doesn't respond quickly.
