The Bull Inn is the first organic inn in the historic market town of Totnes, and they’re a more sustainable option than most (if not all) other hotels in the area. The inn was opened by Geetie Singh-Watson, who grew up on a commune in Herefordshire, and her husband Guy Singh-Watson founded Riverford, which specializes in ethical food.

The inn at the Bull is for travelers who appreciate a homey, natural atmosphere. Each room within the inn has muted colors, organic furnishings, and sustainable materials to leave nothing behind but an empty shell that once belonged to something living. The inn also offers four-bedroom self-catered apartments which are perfect for families traveling to London for leisure or business trips alike. The spaces are remote and conducive to holiday-minded rest and relaxation – even if you’re staying in one of their better-known single rooms! In keeping with the core values of building a property that can be left without a trace when you check out, The Bull also offers guests coming from the train an excellent 10% discount off their first-night stay!
