The Cott Inn pub just outside Totnes (Grade II listed), is reputed to have been built during the reign of Edward II in approximately 1320 AD . It’s name was taken from the Dutchman, Johannes Cott, who converted the original cottages into a staging post for shepherds and sheep on their way to ancient port town of Totnes. He is mentioned in the town records as being made a Freeman of Totnes in 1333.

It is one of the most famous thatched inns in the country and is believed to be the longest single licensed property in England. Did you know that when the thatch roof needs to be replaced it requires 3,000 bundles of reed?! The thatch was last replaced after a fire in 1989, luckily the building was saved as were most of the original features some dating back many hundreds of years remained intact.
