I’ve always wondered what it would be like to drive up one of those long private country roads you see from the highway and stay in a secluded country house. I can now tick this off my bucket list after THE most amazing weekend away with a group of 13 of my of closest friends at Talisker Homestead. Photos can never quite capture the wonder of a great location, and Talisker Homestead has to be seen to be believed. We had total seclusion in the wonderful historic homestead, amongst rolling hills as far as the eye could see, and not one other house in sight! We sipped champagne on the rose garden lawns, dined in the huge formal dining room, sat around the porch chatting and watching the sunset, and lapped up the amazing views. There is so much space in the house, with bedrooms and bathrooms of grandeur that have been thoughtfully and gorgeously styled. Kate is the most wonderful down to earth host who did everything to ensure our stay was perfect. We would definitely love to return!
