The gardens were lovely and ideal for walking our dog in a safe environment. The village setting was very pleasant with friendly people in the local pub and the community shop, which was just outside the accomodation. All in all a brilliant place!

The home was very well equipped, making a great first impression on the kids, as did the unexpected welcome pack including an Easter activity and biscuits for the dog. They loved having their own ensuites in the rooms upstairs and we enjoyed the privacy of the downstairs bedroom with its own wetroom in the room next door. Our dog Comet was very happy and settled in well, with the wooden and tiled floors making it very easy to keep clean after walks. It felt very private, with the hosts available when needed and unobtrusive when not - the perfect balance. There was no noise from others or outside. Noise does travel within the Barley home itself, but this was welcome as it made it easy for us to listen out for the kids upstairs. A very good find and one I'm sure we'll return to, especially as there is room in the other homes for other relatives when they come to visit too.

Refurbished throughout with new bathrooms and kitchen. Comfortable, stylish with everything you need. We enjoyed the bbq outside while the children loved playing in the huge grounds of the main house. A magical place we will be coming back.

It is set in lovely grounds close to the owners house. The owners are very friendly, helpful and keen to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. Dogs are made welcome which is great as the standard of other cottages is not always so good when dogs are allowed. Talaton village is small with one shop and a pub which serves typical pub food-generous portions and very friendly staff. There are plenty of other good pubs serving food nearby. It’s a 15-20 mins drive to nice beaches in Sidmouth, Branscombe and Exmouth amongst others. Bikes can be hired at Darts Farm to cycle along the Exe estuary. Our second stay here and hopefully not our last.

Ms Sedgewick, April 2018
“Beautiful house, impeccably designed and decorated, very comfy bed and gorgeous bedding, fantastic grounds for the children to play in, lovely hosts, great pub and shop one minute’s walk away, short drive to lovely villages and beaches.”

Perfect!

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.
