    Had an excellent time at The Old Forge and Julie was absolutely lovely. The garden is beautiful, as is the building. Breakfast was good, too, though I only had a light one once.

    Breakfasts were excellent and in a very nice environment. Only a short walk to the town and there were many walks to be had near the river. We went on several trips out of Totnes and found it an excellent base. There was even a bookshelf for us...
