Listing highlights

Peace and quiet

Room in a home

Your own room in a home, plus access to shared spaces.
Private bedroom and bathroom ideal for solo travellers or couples looking for a peaceful and homey stay in a quiet area of Dartington at walkable distance from Totnes, Dartington Hall, the train station and local shops.

We enjoy silence and quietude but also love hosting, having a chat and sharing what we love in Devon.

We share our home with a loving dog called Arlo. He loves people but is also very chilled and independent and will easily leave you alone if you prefer your own space.

The space
We live in a private courtyard away from the main road with no light pollution or traffic noise.

Your room and bathroom are close to the entrance on the ground floor. The entrance and ground floor are an open plan space.

The local shops, cafes, garage and our local pub are all within walking distance 5-10 minutes away. The Cott Inn, one of the oldest thatched inns in Britain and award winning gastro pub is 2 minutes away. Totnes and Dartington Hall are 20 minutes away by foot. Dartmoor and the sea are 20 minutes away by car.

The train station is 20 minutes away by foot, 5 minutes by car.
If you are driving, there is free parking off the main road.

Guest access
Your room has a double bed (135x195cm), small desk, chair and wardrobe. Bed linen and towels are provided. There are extra blankets in the wardrobe as well as an iron and ironing board in case of need.

If you are staying for a week or longer you can do your laundry at no extra charge.

The kitchen, dining room and garden are shared and you are welcome to enjoy them during your stay. Meals are not provided but you are welcome to use the kitchen for tea, coffee or breakfast.

If you practice yoga and meditation I can also provide a mat and a cushion that you can use while you are here.

What makes my home unique: Quiet, peace and beauty
I’m happy to spend time with my guests or give them space
I love to live surrounded by beauty and small things that tell a story. My home is a peaceful sanctuary for body, mind and soul. I used to host people in Milan and now hosting people in Devon, my favourite place in the world. My passions and areas of work are on the intersection between neuroscience, consciousness and spirituality. When I am not working, I enjoy dancing, exploring new places, nature , cooking and art in all its forms.
