As seen on Channel 4's ''Four in a Bed'', Appalachian Spring is a former farmhouse with a beautiful south-facing garden and patio in rural Dartington village, close to award-winning 14th-century thatched Cott Inn and is one mile from Totnes station and medieval Dartington Hall Estate. A walk to Totnes via the footpath outside the garden gate is marked on local maps.

A 'welcome' pack of organic locally made fudge and some biscuits are in each room with a carafe of filtered water.

There is free parking, wifi, tea/coffee making facilities in each room. Sadly, no pets allowed. There is a dog in residence , but he is kept separately from guests, unless requested.
