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. Sleeps 4.

'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.' - Karen
'Tresco is a lovely property and perfect as a base to explore the area. It's a short walk down hill to the centre of Totnes , which is full of character, shops and restaurants. It's a handy location if you're not driving - we used local buses to get to the moor and the coast. The conservatory opening onto the garden was a happy place to lounge and relax after a day out sight-seeing.' - Rachel
'We stayed at Tresco for a week in June. All booking and communications were easy and smooth with Jo the owner. The location is ideal being 15mins walk or 5 mins car ride from central Totnes and has parking (rentals in central Totnes often don't have parking facilities). The house is spotlessly clean and modern inside and Jo the owner has thought of absolutely everything to make guests comfortable. The bathroom is great, has a fabulous shower and the bedroom was spacious with super comfy pillows and bed linen. The house is spacious and tranquil. We had a perfect nights sleep every night and some enjoyable evenings sat outside admiring the view. It was far better than staying in a hotel and to be recommended. We will definitely try to stay here again.'
'From the moment you step into Tresco you feel at home and at peace. It is nicely decorated, has a bookcase full of interesting reading, a modern kitchen with every utensil you could need and the sun room to the rear of the house has the most amazing views. Me and my wife travelled with our 3 and 1 year old and we found the house extremely safe and child friendly. If your new to Devon Totnes is a brilliant location with lots to do for all ages and interests.'
'Stayed in Jo's beautifully renovated, very clean, outstandingly comfortable and peaceful home for a week, with my partner and our two teenage children. It is definitely a home from home, with a huge range of books (much appreciated by my book-loving family), and lots of little practical extras, such as sellotape, notepads, phonebooks and local information, in the sideboard drawers. We all felt totally relaxed and at-home from the minute we arrived. We were warmly welcomed by a friend of Jo, who gave us a tour of the property and invited us to help ourselves to the vegetables growing in the greenhouse and raised beds. `We loved the open-plan arrangement of the main living area - especially the 'conservatory', overlooking a very pretty, good-sized, informal garden (with little nooks and crannies, and equipped with a hammock and other garden furniture). The conservatory was a real asset - during a week of plentiful rain - with its panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Lovely kitchen, with everything we needed as a family of four on a tight budget, as we stayed in and cooked a big meal almost every evening. Even though, I personally would have liked just a few extra knives and forks in the cutlery drawer, all the crockery and cutlery, etc, was of really nice quality; I really appreciated Jo's attention to detail in all areas of the house. Master bedroom: decent size and lovely presentation; second bedroom just about big enough for two teenagers for a week. Bathroom was on the small side but still really nice - lovely tiles, good shower, and a decent-sized bath. We also appreciated the second loo and the utility area with washing machine and a handy box of washing powder ready for our use. Totnes itself - a 15-20 minute walk away - is a great holiday town for teenagers - a large assortment of of interesting, independent boutiques, art and bookshops. I'm really glad we had a car to explore further afield and to do our food shopping. Altogether a delightful, obviously well-loved property.'
