Waterman's Arms is a charming 17th-century riverside inn set beside Bow Bridge in Totnes, Devon. Its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere makes it suitable for every occasion, whether guests are stopping in for a quiet drink, enjoying a light lunch or settling in for a romantic candlelit dinner. During the colder months, the fire offers a warm retreat, while the riverside and garden terrace provide an inviting place to sit on brighter days.

The inn offers fifteen well-appointed en-suite rooms, each designed with comfort in mind. Rooms in the annexe benefit from large bathrooms with baths and powerful showers, while those within the inn feature spacious, modern shower rooms. Three of the rooms offer additional space, allowing for a more leisurely and comfortable stay. The family en-suite room is among the largest available and includes a queen-size bed, a single bed and space for an additional camp bed. Located in the annexe, it is furnished with a table and chairs and comes equipped with Freesat TV, free Wi-Fi, a direct dial telephone and a generous selection of hot drinks, still and sparkling water, luxury toiletries, soft towels and thermostatic heating.

The superior family rooms and superior double rooms, both located in the annexe, provide extra space, added comfort and larger bathrooms, with the superior doubles each furnished with a bath and a seating area.

The head chef at Waterman’s Arms is committed to using the best local produce to create dishes that highlight the flavours of Devon’s seasonal ingredients.
