    “We have stayed in a variety of these luxury cottages over the last 13 weeks.”

    They are truly wonderful buildings set in the most idilic surroundings. They are spotlessly clean and have all the modern facilities and everyday equipment that you could wish for. The hosts are amazing and extremely kind and helpful. I needed the Internet for work and this was reliable with a strong speed throughout our stay. The grounds were perfect for our dogs to explore and my children enjoyed running around on the vast green spaces. I would 100% recommend these cottages to family and ...

Thanks for having us, the Bruce family.

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.
