The property

Gardener’s Cottage in the grounds of striking Talaton House is elegant and stylish.

Entering at the at rear of the cottage, you arrive in a chic open-plan living space, with ceiling-high glazed doors to the pretty terrace looking over parkland beyond.

On the first floor are two bedrooms – a king-size double with great, open views and a small twin with 2'6" beds, linkable to a 5' double on request.

They share a family bathroom.

Outside you are of course welcome to use the extensive lawns and grounds, and you have your own little private seating area and attractive gravelled terrace adorned with potted plants and pleached trees.

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.

“Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting.”

Spotlessly clean and the bottle of fizz and treats for our dog made the long journey worth it! Owners Diana and Paul couldn’t have made us more welcome and we will definitely be back.

“Absolutely amazing property.”

Owners were lovely. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxury holiday. The finishing touches were of an extremely high standard and there wasn’t anything extra to be needed. All cooking implements were there and a bbq available with their implements as well. Just so pleased with the whole booking and experience. We will be visiting again!

Mrs Gill July 2019

“Gardeners cottage was a beautiful holiday home set in an idyllic location.”

Near enough to get to many of the attractions we wanted to visit yet felt wonderfully remote from all the hustle and bustle we wanted to escape from for a few days. The cottage itself was furnished in a high end contemporary designand was immaculately clean. The fact that the cottages are dog friendly was what interested me to start with and it offered plenty of space for our energetic dog both inside and outside. I would highly recommend the cottages.

“The cottage was one of the best we have ever stayed in!”

Great attention to detail - everything you could want in a holiday cottage. The owners were so helpful, giving us great local advice on where to go and where to eat locally. We can't fault our stay at Gardener's Cottage.
