"We absolutely loved this property."
It’s very classy and everything seems new. We appreciated the bottle of bubby and coffee pods that were left for us. Lovely bedrooms and bedding, great shower, plenty of storage, a very comfortable lounge and a fantastic kitchen that was well stocked. The outside space is second to none and I loved the fact we had our own secluded garden space. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed our evenings eating Al fresco enjoying the sunshine. Talaton is a lovely little village, has a beautiful old church and lots of thatched cottages. The only thing we struggled with were the single track roads in/out of Talaton, unavoidable when travelling to places of interest.

"We loved this property it was comfortable & clean, had everything you could need plus lovely surrounding grounds & gardens."
Only drawback for us was having dogs they had access to the complete area & as they would be wanderers we couldn't let them out alone, but it didn't detract from an enjoyable holiday.

"We stayed in Gardener's Cottage as part of a group of 9 in 3 of the cottages, this one sleeps 4 and was very comfortable and well equipped."
All the properties are fabulous, well positioned for trips out (narrow Devon lanes!) and relaxing if you want to stay put.
Diana is a fabulous host who is very welcoming with goodies for humans and dogs. Thank you for a fabulous stay.

"The property and position was as advertised."
The property is decorated and furnished to a very high standard, and is set in a very peaceful setting. Everything you need is thee. The village has an active pub (open part of the week) and shop, and it’s a good base away from busy centres, for walks or getting into Exeter and the surrounding coast and countryside. The hosts were attentive and are close by so any questions were answered very quickly.

"We had an amazing stay at Gardener's Cottage."
We couldn't fault it - the cottage is just perfect and so well equipped with everything you could possibly think of for efficient self-catering. The grounds of Talaton House are beautifully maintained. The fields and large grass areas are ideal for exercising dogs, walking, and for children to run and play in a safe environment. Diana is an exceptional host. Wonderfully pleasant and accommodating yet discreet and unimposing. She is always available and happy to help with anything and everything, or not to be seen at all! We loved the serene location and proximity to walks, beaches, excellent pubs, farm shops, and supermarkets. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
