James,
The way you do what you are asking is like this:
Create a new page: Totnes Hotels or Hotels Totnes
Your title tag convention will be like this: Totnes Hotels | Why the Sea Trout Inn Wins | The Sea Trout Inn
If you believe having a highly crafted set of kw title tags is the answer to ranking all on page one, do the same with each other term. Now, note that the current title tag you have is way over-long and the last part is essentially of no value. You are trying to use title tags as a ranking tool when you would, IMO, be better served to think about who your customer is (hint - it's not Google/Bing/Baidu). Make it recognizable and relevant for your customer and make sure it makes sense from a UI/UX point of view.
Then worry about keywords in the Title Tag.
Hope that helps,
Robert

Meta Keywords Dilution?
In general, does having a large number of meta keywords listed in a page's meta keywords line dilute effort? On other words, should I focus on optimizing for 1 or 2 keywords per page to keep my efforts focused and increase the probability of ranking better for those 1 or 2.....or should I put down all the keywords I would "like" to rank for? Thank You

Where do you Peoples Get Keyword Ideas?
Hey everybody, I thought I would get your opinions on the sites where you like to mine keyword phrases. Before determining competition, I like to get ideas from the Adwords Tool, Keyword Optimizer Pro (a Google suggest scraper), Insights, Trends, and by looking at the phrases competitors are optimized for. How about you guys? Jared

Two for the price of one: Can I rank for multiple keywords when only targeting one keyword?
If I'm optimizing for a specific keyword, is it accurate to assume that by ranking for that specific keyword that I will also be able to rank for similar or root keywords merely by ranking for the original keyword? For example, if I'm targeting 'free online bucket list' is it safe to assume that I will also be able to inadvertently rank for 'online bucket list' or 'free bucket list'? Can I assure clients of this? Or if I'm targeting 'Colorado grocery store' should I also naturally rank for 'grocery store Colorado' and not need to make both of these my targeted keywords?
