A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Make a weekend of Totnes
Seasonal food, characterful rooms and Totnes on the doorstep. The Bull Inn makes a natural base for an unhurried town escape.
At the top of town, The Bull Inn puts you close to the independent streets that make Totnes such a good place to wander. Come for seasonal food, or give yourself longer with a room upstairs. The appeal is a stay with its own character and a town worth stepping out into.
The lovely little details
- Organic pub and hotel overlooking Rotherfold Square at the top of Totnes High Street.
- Serves supplier-led seasonal breakfasts, lunch and dinner.
- Nine rooms and a self-catering apartment, with a dog-friendly restaurant.
SOMETHING TO LOOK OUT FOR
Start with the vegetables
The Bull’s veg-first approach makes the seasonal small plates a good starting point. For a morning visit, its breakfast page lists creamy tarragon mushrooms on sourdough among the options.
