Overview
Property code: OC-T27703

Tucked at the edge of Exmoor National Park with an abundance of wildlife all around, this exquisite barn conversion offers an idyllic country escape. Accommodating six guests in three bedrooms, this dog-friendly holiday home has an abundance of space for relaxing and socialising, with open-plan living, a delightful sunroom, and two outdoor areas with far-reaching views. Perfectly placed to explore the stunning North Devon beaches and walk sections of the South West Coast Path, it’s a wonderful base for a family holiday or a getaway with friends.

Set on a south-facing slope amid North Devon countryside, the interiors of this two-storey holiday home are every bit as enchanting as its surroundings. Exposed beamed ceilings, wooden and slate floors, and sloping ceilings add character and charm. Underfloor heating, an electric car charger and high-quality fixtures and fittings ensure you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Enjoy sociable evenings filling the air with laughter and chatter in the open-plan living space. With a double range oven, the spacious kitchen is a dream to prepare meals in; dine inside or out with a dining table inside and a large table on the patio. Savour cosy evenings in the lounge, wood burner crackling on chilly days, settle in the sunroom with the bi-fold doors thrown open to admire the view, or sip a nightcap around the fire pit watching the stars in this Dark Sky Reserve. When night falls, get cosy in the downstairs king-size bedroom or head upstairs to two romantic bedrooms beneath the eaves, a king-size and a room with a double and single bed. Three shower rooms ensure that everybody can refresh with ease.

Discover magical moorlands, wooded glens, waterfalls and wildlife in Exmoor National Park, or set off to explore the North Devon coast. The sheltered bay at Coombe Martin (6 miles) is perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking and rock pooling, whereas Woolacoombe and Putsborough (both within 13.5 miles) are great for catching a wave or two. Lovers of historic homes will be delighted to visit Arlington Court (3 miles).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tallet. It is so well equipped and attention to detail is given throughout with even the provision of logs for the wood burner and firepit, firelighters and matches, candles for the table. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will ever need and the hidden drawers are fantastic. The underfloor heating Read morewas lovely along with lighting the wood burner and the firepit while we had a BBQ. The views are lovely and the area tranquil - even bird seed is provided so you can watch the birds. We really appreciated the champagne and carrot cake upon our arrival with tea, coffee and sugar. The upstairs balcony lovely to sit and take in the views along with Alexa to stream some music and board games for an evening playing Devon Monopoly. We enjoyed watching Finbar the dog say Hi to all the visitors! Thank you for a lovely break. Hide

This property is really rural and so a lovely quiet getaway. Its not far from Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Saunton Sands and we were able to visit all easily in October half term. The house is really well stocked with all sorts that you may need during your stay. The only thing we could think of that would have been useful was a clothesRead more horse / airer I think youll manage to find everything else helpfully provided! This is a spacious property and we managed well as a family group of 6 adults and 2 babies. We used the map provided to walk on the farm land around the property which is very hilly and so quite the adventure! One of our family members met one of the owners a few times as he was out and about and he was really friendly. We really enjoyed our break at The Tallet and would recommend it to anyone! Hide
