My partner and I stayed for 3 nights in a first floor double room: the bedroom wasn't very big (not much space left around the bed, wardrobe and desk), but had everything we needed - including filter coffee and a caftiere available in the room and the wifi worked fine. Our room faced the main road (approx ten mins walk... More

We stayed a night in Totnes for the Christmas festival, and found The Great Grubb warm and inviting. Admittedly, it was troublesome finding the B&B. We arrive after sunset by car and the roads were jammed because people were streaming in for the festival. Even if the traffic conditions weren't so hectic, the road leading up to the B&B is... More

Booked via email & phone and stayed in the Family Suite (top floor in the converted loft). Ben & Amy are great hosts calling back promptly and even called whilst we were en route to check our arrival time. Having parked up in one of the spaces out front we were shown the dining room, lounge and our rooms on... More

If we had only stayed one night we would have written an excellent review. The first night spent on the top floor in the family suite was lovely and comfortable but we had to move to another room on the second night (we knew in advance). The ground floor room was a bit chilly and damp smelling, there was a... More

The Great Grubb and it's owners Ben & Amy have created a calming, comfortable haven in Totnes. The couple are helpful and welcoming and also offer their own methods of going the 'extra mile' to help out their guests - in my case, I was picked up from the station, had my ipod charged and gratefully left with some sandwiches...

My boyfriend and I stayed for three nights at The Great Grubb, and feel that Ben and Amy have their guests' needs amply covered. Ben was able to pick us up from the station, which was extemely welcome, and we were able to leave our bags at the house quite early on arrival day, long before we would have expected... More

We nearly cancelled on this place concerning possible lack of en suite but a quick call confirmed apparently all the rooms have en suite bathrooms. We're so glad we didn't cancel, this is an excellent B & B with very friendly owners. The room was spotless, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. Superb breakfast eaten in the conservatory - very pleasant.... More

Ben & Amy made the perfect hosts; there when you needed them, but not in your face. The room was exceptionally inviting, spotlessly clean, & very quiet. Only the early morning birds could be heard, no traffic noise whatsoever. Nice touches, like a small vase of fresh carnations in the room. Breakfast was freshly cooked, no greasy nor re-heated food... More

Friendly, welcoming, relaxed and comfy. Really great home cooked breakfast. Retro Eco decor a welcome change from other b&bs. Very good value for money and only a short walk from high street. Room a little small but wasn't in Totnes to hang out indoors. More
