The Lodge

The Lodge is a solid, no-fuss base right in the middle of Totnes. You'll find it just a short walk from the main high street, which is full of independent shops and cafes. The building itself is simple and functional, fitting in with the town's character. From here, you can easily explore the historic parts of Totnes, including the castle and the guildhall. The River Dart is also nearby for walks along the water. It’s a convenient spot that puts you right in the centre of things without being on a loud, busy road.

This place works well for independent travellers and walkers exploring South Devon. If you're on a budget and just need a clean place to sleep, it's a good option. There are shared dormitory rooms and a communal kitchen where you can prepare your own meals. The kitchen is well-equipped for basic cooking. There's also a common room, which is a decent space to relax or chat with other guests after a day out. The Wi-Fi is reliable, and you have access to laundry facilities, which is useful for longer trips.

The main reason to stay at The Lodge is its practicality. It offers an affordable way to stay in Totnes, giving you more money to spend on exploring the area. Having the self-catering kitchen is a major advantage for saving on food costs. Its location means you can walk everywhere within the town, from the train station to the riverside. It serves as a great starting point for day trips to Dartmoor National Park or the nearby coastline. It's a straightforward, functional base for travellers who prioritise location and value over hotel amenities.
