We stayed in the cottages and used the track twice. My son was a complete starter, as was his friend and my hubby hasn't rode a bike for 25 years. All 3 were taught very well and catered for. I would highly recommend the Off Road Centre and the cottages, we will definately be returning. Great holiday. xxxxx

This is a great little shop with a fantastic selection of local cheeses. The staff were lovely and going out of their way to please and be helpful. I was looking for some cheese for Christmas presents and they always had great suggestions for cheeses to recommend, despite me being really indecisive. They even wrapped them all up for me nicely in paper. Just a shame I didn't buy any for myself!

The taster session was bought for me as a present. I had an excellent time, Steve was brilliant, fully explaining the way things worked, the process and the options. Helped out as needed and made suggestions when I was stuck. Thoroughly enjoyed my Taster Session and would recommend it to anyone. Plus the bonus of having an interesting piece of glass wear I made myself.

Went for a day spa for my wife’s birthday. This place is a gem in the middle of nowhere. Nicely tucked away from the busy towns. Beautifully laid out in the rolling hills of Devon. The amenities were fantastic! I have never had a massage before being very ticklish but the staff were very kind and gentle. Steph was very professional and truly fantastic in what she does. My wife had a facial and Sophie made her feel really special. She was equally professional and very good at what she does. Out afternoon tea was absolutely scrumptous. We werent keen on the salmon sandwich but everything else was ace! We are already planning on our next visit! Keep up the good work guys. Thank you.

A brilliant day at Gin school, learnt a lot and well worth the visit. Mowenna was very informative and kept us on the straight and narrow. Take a taxi and do not drive, they offer Gin tasters and you need to try.
10. Totnes Guildhall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 82 reviews
Reviewed By 695lynnp - Cincinnati, United States
Stumbled across this place behind St. Mary's church. A gentlemen who appeared to be "on duty" was eager to share with us the history of the town guild hall, which contains a listing of all the mayors, including the current mayor dressed in formal mayoral garb. Also a mantrap (!) and cell in which criminals were held. The hall itself is small. Worth a quick stop to see and hear a bit of English history before returning to walking the steep HIgh Street of Totnes with its charming shops.
