Located in the South West of England, Grooms Cottage is a stylish and bright 5* cottage in the grounds of the Grade II listed Talaton House, near Ottery St Mary. The cottage can sleep three people, with a ground floor double bedroom and a single bed on a mezzanine overlooking the living space. The open-plan living area includes a sleek kitchen, dining area, and a sitting area with full height glazed doors offering views of the open parkland. Outside, there is a seating area, gravelled terrace, and parking for two cars, with access to the extensive lawns and grounds.
Amenities at Grooms Cottage include electric panel heaters, a microwave, fridge, washer-dryer, dishwasher, TV with Blu-ray and DVD, as well as WiFi.

Visitors can enjoy the quiet country lanes, lush green fields, and sleepy villages of Devon, as well as explore stately homes and indulge in a traditional Devonshire cream tea.
