Talland 23

Number 23 Talland Bay is a three-bedroom cottage on a gated holiday estate between Looe and Polperro on south Cornwall's National Landscape (formerly AONB) coastline. The open-plan living space beneath a vaulted ceiling looks out to sea, and the level access throughout suits guests who need step-free entry. Dogs are welcome.

Inside, three bedrooms and two bathrooms are finished to a modern standard. The cottage includes an open fire, wi-fi, dishwasher, washing machine and accessible features. A private hot tub sits outside the property. Prices from GBP 711/week rise to GBP 2,066 at peak, making price-per-person around GBP 355 for couples using all three bedrooms.

The shared estate facilities include a 12 m x 6 m heated indoor swimming pool, an outdoor naturally filtered plunge pool open all year round, a sauna, a small gym and a bar. Concierge services cover taxi and boat trip bookings. The South West Coast Path runs directly through Talland Bay, with cliff walks west to Polperro and east to Looe in both directions.

Looe and Polperro each have shops, pubs and restaurants within a short drive. The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are both within 30 minutes by car. Best for couples or small families who want sea views and resort-style facilities without large hotel crowds. Less suited to guests who prefer independent, untethered rural stays.
