Description from owner
Description
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.

“Lovely, serene, peaceful space”
We stayed for a week in Sept 2018 and were very pleased. Rob the caretaker was welcoming. Lovely deep and hot bath! Very comfy bed. Lovely garden and conservatory area with stunning views. We found it very easy to relax here. Fully equipped kitchen, lots of storage space. Good location, situated at the top of a hill. We don't drive so we walked or got a bus / taxi if we didn't fancy the walk. Totnes is stunning with so much to do. Try the Albert pub, very nice nearby and there is a corner shop nearby down the hill with local produce. There is a drawer with loads of leaflets / maps etc to get you started. We'd definitely book this place again.

“A comfortable holiday home in a stunning location”
We had a very enjoyable stay at Tresco this August. The open plan style was wonderful for our two little ones and the home was very well equipped for a family of 4. The highlight for us were the views from the sunroom-stunning! We would definitely recommend Tresco to future families.
