We had a fantastic stay at Tale Head, The cottage and garden were perfect for us (dog loved the garden!). The cottage is well furnished, very clean & in a quiet location. It was a great base for us to explore Devon & Dorset. Would definitely recommend. The hosts kept us informed.
Mr Palmer
A fantastic quiet well equipped cottage that had everything you could need. The games room is great for any rainy days, the garden is just perfect for dogs, it's warm and comfortable and not very far away from many attractions, 3 great bedrooms and lots of walks on the doorstep. Absolutely loved our stay and will look forward to going back in the future.
