The Bull Inn in Totnes, England

The restaurant offers a seasonally changing menu built around organic ingredients from Riverford. Breakfast includes a cooked full English with locally sourced produce and freshly squeezed blood orange juice. Vegan diners consistently rate the plant-based dishes as among the best they have tasted, with creative use of tahini, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.

The hotel uses organic bedding sourced from local suppliers and provides a compost pot in each room for tea bags and coffee grounds. Toiletries in the bathrooms are from independent producers, and the communal soap-on-a-stick in the public toilets reduces plastic waste. A strong environmental ethos is maintained without compromising on the quality of the guest experience.

The Bull Inn sits on a quiet square at the top of Totnes high street, 300 metres from Totnes Castle. The train station is within walking distance, and long-stay car parks are a half-minute walk away. Friday market days bring the town to life, with the inn directly accessible from the main pedestrian route.

The ground-floor pub serves dinner until 9pm, with a bar offering local ciders and organic wines. The hotel provides key access and fire extinguishers on each floor, and the staff can arrange a table for late arrivals. Dogs are allowed in the bar and restaurant, and the room team can supply extra bedding and robes on request.
