Amazing

The property was clean, well kept and a great central location in Totnes. We will stay again if available next family visit. The owners did all the little extras and always in communication. Just an amazing place to stay overall.

A very smart and spacious apartment, everyone in the party was happy with it. The location is excellent,right on the main street, with two reserved car parking spaces about half a mile away. Everthing was very clean and well presented, and the kitchen was very well equipped. The beds have a mixture of medium and firm mattresses, so it's best to select these according to the preferences of the guests as the firm one was too firm for me. The booking process was very easy, and the communication from the host was very good.

Beautiful home

Lorna House was far and away the best VRBO experience we have had. The home is impeccable - beautifully furnished, well appointed, great location and super comfortable. We feel like we hit the jackpot with this choice of property. Totnes is a perfect jumping off point for exploring Devon and a lovely town. We hope to return.

Beautiful home in the heart of Totnes

The house was absolutely lovely with all top quality fittings / bedding / crockery cutlery and glasses . Parking space a little way down the road was handy and we were able to load our car when we left in a lay-by by the church which was even handier . Paul & Hannah were always quick to answer any questions and left us milk tea and biscuits etc. much needed after quite a long journey. We found the area charming and had a fab weekend Highly recommended
