One of the oldest thatched inns in Britain, The Cott Inn features five en-suite bedrooms with superking or king-sized beds, pocket-sprung mattresses, and memory foam toppers. The on-site restaurant offers seasonal menus with locally sourced ingredients, including artisan Sharpham rustic cheese, dayboat fish from Brixham, and lamb from nearby farms.

The property includes a spacious beer garden and patio, live music on Sundays, and a private dining room accommodating up to 30 people. Located in the village of Dartington, The Cott Inn is a 10-minute drive from Totnes and near Dartmoor National Park. Nearby attractions include Buckfast Butterfly Farm, Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary, and Dartmouth Steam Railway. Pets are welcome, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

Live music on Sundays and a wood-fired oven in the garden kitchen provide entertainment.
