Stable Tallet is a beautiful barn conversion to one side of the historic farmstead here, in its own gardens and with its own driveway.
The delightful sitting-room is warmed by a wood-burner keeping you cosy whatever the weather.
The farmhouse-style kitchen has flagstone floors and is equipped as a home-from-home.
One of the pretty bedrooms.
The hot tub is on the terrace at the back of the cottage.
The fishing lake is shared with two other properties - safely fenced but of course supervise children when you go to the lake together.
Snuggle up and relax on the gorgeous sofas.
Relax in front of the Smart TV in the sitting-room.
This is the dining-area of the kitchen, with its lovely farmhouse kitchen table.
Start the day with some treats....
... and end it in the same way!
There is a great tradition in this area for local produce - River Cottage is nearby!
This is the double bedroom on the first floor.
The room is bright and airy with views over the fields.
The en suite is at the far end of the room.
This is the en suite shower-room for the first floor double bedroom.
This is the first floor twin bedroom.
There is plenty of space in the bedroom.
Deep windowsills add to the character of this barn conversion.
Enjoy some lazy starts to the day.
This pretty single bedroom is also on the first floor.
The single bedroom overlooks the hot tub and the garden beyond.
This is the family bathroom.
The bath has a useful shower attachment - there are two other showers in the property too of course.
This is the ground floor double bedroom.
Another view of the ground floor bedroom - it has a little fitted shower cubicle in one corner.
Enjoy your holiday and start the day with breakfast in bed.
The hot tub is on the terrace with the garden in front.
There is an excellent games-room for all ages of children (and grown ups !)
Hopefully you won't have any rainy days, but if you do, this excellent shared games-room is just the answer.
There is a fabulous play-area for children in the garden - as well as the shared games-room.
The farm is set in a gentle valley about a mile from the little town of Colyton.
Another newly created visitor attraction is the Seaton Wetlands - a peaceful nature reserve which attracts many species of birds.
Some of the other residents at the farm.
You can visit the Seaton Wetlands any time but the bird hides are not open every day so do check.
The famous Seaton Tramway is a must! There is a station in Colyton and the route along the Axe Valley is beautiful.
Seaton has a pretty harbour as well as the long pebbled beach.
The coastal town of Seaton is just a few miles away. This is the brand new Jurassic Visitor Centre - a great place to visit with young children.

We had a lovely time at the cottage and great for the kids to experience the working farm. Lovely for the kids that the farmers were so friendly and gave us a tour. The games room was great and the fishing and close to some lovely beaches and attractions....

We have a young family and it gave us a games room, outside play area and facilities to occupy everyone no matter what the weather. It's location on the Devon/Dorset border opened up 2 beautiful counties to explore. We had a great holiday at Stable Tallet and have no real issues with the accommodation, it was just very expensive considering the quality of the decor/furnishings etc in comparison to places we have stayed previously with classic cottages. Also I realise that it's on a farm and in the countryside but we had to remove 8 spiders on the evening we arrived as my 4 year old daughter wouldn't go to bed with them in the rooms. After we removed them we didn't see that many for the whole rest of the week. Might also be worth noting that Shute Barton which is pictured on the Stable Talket details page, (being a National Trust property near Stable Talet), is only open 4 weekends a year which we were disappointed to discover when we went to visit it. Overall we were a little disappointed with our holiday accommodation for the money, but had a great holiday as its in a great part of the country, the weather was perfect. We were very impressed with the games room, toys, facilities and supplies for children/baby - made it very easy to occupy them and enjoy our holiday which was great. ...

Reply from Classic Cottages
Thanks for your comments about Stable Tallet. We're sorry that you had to contend with some spiders on arrival - they do sneak in through the smallest of gaps, and it can be difficult to get each and every one out if they're hiding! We do appreciate that if your daughter isn't a huge fan of spiders, it could have been difficult to get her off to bed, so apologies for any disruption this caused. Whilst we may mention attractions and places to visit in our description, we don't always know the individual opening arrangements for them - however, you can check out the extra details on our sister Web site, Classic Guide - the cottage description pages link to the Classic Guide for more information. We're really glad that you liked the games-room and it kept your party entertained - we hope you had a great holiday overall. Tanya, Customer Support...
