Talland 2

Talland 2 is a four-bedroom detached cottage on a gated development at Talland Bay, sleeping eight on south Cornwall's coast between Looe and Polperro. From £748 per week, it is one of the more accessible entry points into an estate with genuine resort-level facilities.

Inside, three bathrooms serve four bedrooms across two floors, with bunk rooms on both ground and first floor making the property practical for families. The master bedroom has a south-west-facing balcony and double-aspect garden views. An open fire, wifi, dishwasher, and washing machine are included, and an extensive roof terrace adds further outdoor space. The cottage's sea view looks out across Talland Bay.

Estate access is the key selling point. Talland 2's garden connects to a shared pool complex that includes a 12m x 6m heated indoor pool, an outdoor naturally filtered plunge pool open year-round, a sauna, and a small gym. On-site concierge covers taxi bookings, boat trips, and welcome hampers to order. Dogs are welcome, private parking is on site, and EV charging is available - relatively rare in south Cornwall.

The coast path between Looe and Polperro runs past the bay, with both harbour towns about 2.5 miles in either direction. The 13th-century St Tallan church stands on the hillside above the coves. The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are each a short drive for day trips. Best for families or mixed groups who want beach access, pool use, and a south-facing rural setting in one place. Less good for anyone who prefers the activity of a harbour town on the doorstep.
