Talland 10

Number 10 is a detached 3-bedroom cottage on the Talland Bay estate, a gated development set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on south Cornwall's coastline. The property sleeps 6 and welcomes dogs, with a private patio, garden and direct access to the estate's outdoor plunge pool.

Inside, an open plan living area provides space for the whole family to spread out. A balcony off the living space looks out over rolling countryside, while a large decked rooftop terrace - the standout feature of this property - delivers panoramic views across both the sea and surrounding hills. The rooftop is well suited to al fresco dining and long summer evenings.

The estate's shared facilities sit within easy reach: a 12m heated indoor swimming pool, an outdoor naturally filtered plunge pool open year-round, a sauna, and a compact gym with changing rooms. An on-site concierge can arrange taxi bookings, boat trips and pre-ordered Cornish welcome hampers.

Talland Bay beach lies just 700m from the front door, with Lekerock Cove a further 0.6 miles walk along the coast path. The estate sits between Looe and Polperro - two of south Cornwall's most characterful fishing villages - both accessible via the South West Coast Path. Hannafore Beach at Looe is 1.6 miles away for a longer stretch of sand.

Best for families or groups of up to 6 who want resort-style extras, with the heated pool, sauna and gym alongside a private garden and patio. Less good for guests wanting shops and restaurants right on the doorstep, since Looe and Polperro sit a walk or drive from the gated estate rather than on the doorstep.

Nearby: Talland Bay (700m) and Lekerock Cove Beach (0.6 miles). See our Talland Bay guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
