    “We stayed at Groom's Cottage as part of a group of 9 in 3 of the cottages, this being the smallest.”

    This was great for 2 but did lack a bit of cupboard space in the kitchen. It was Christmas however and you tend to have a lot of "stuff!" All the cottages are fabulously appointed and well positioned in a nice little village only about 30 mins from the coast and various great places to visit. Thoroughly recommend all the cottages and worked very well as a larger group all coming together in the largest for dinners. Diana was a fabulous host, thank you so much for a lovely stay, we would ...

Talaton House Cottages

In the heart of Talaton is striking Grade II listed Talaton House, a former rectory, renovated from its 18th century origins and surrounded by acres of beautiful parkland and specimen trees. Beside the house, the original stables, Groom's Cottage (975996) and Hayloft (975999) have been finely converted with flair into four excellent cottages, all exceptionally well done with smart design, stylish furnishings, oak/tiled floors and sleek kitchens. A sweeping drive (shared with the friendly owners & main house) leads to the cottages. They all look over scenic parkland alongside the main house and you are welcome to wander the vast lower lawns (picnic benches, barbecue area, dogs on leads welcome) and peaceful circular woodland walk. Groom's Cottage (975996), Gardener's Cottage (975997) and Barley House (975998) each have a gravelled terrace (table/seating) at the front, made private with attractive planting and pleached trees. Loading/unloading outside the cottages; shared parking area, just beyond (10 to 30 yards). An outstanding location; much thought has gone into making these superb places individual, stylish and comfortable.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
