We had to go out and about in the area, and I suggested lunching here, a hotel I have known of since childhood, having recently read some nice things about it. I'm glad I'd noted the recurrence of the "Q" word (for quirky) in reviews, or we might have fled in terror as we drove in past wire mesh fairies,... More

From the moment you arrive, you know it’s going to be special. The location is spectacular and the staff are charming and helpful. The rooms are clean, well-equipped and comfortable and the whole house is furnished with great style and taste. The dining room in particular is exceptional. Food is beautifully presented and deserving of its rosettes and breakfast is... More

My wife and I spent one night here on a tour of South Devon and Cornwall. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay; extremely comfortable hotel; we were given Room 9 with a lovely balcony with panoramic sea views (an upgrade kindly offered and readily accepted when we had just reserved an "ordinary" room). The decor is certainly interesting and both entertaining... More

Lovely , luxurious hotel nestled away in a hidden Cornish bay . The décor inside and out is stylish but some inexplicable items verged on the tacky. The room was immaculate the bed excellent. The staff were professional especially Mark who made us feel very welcome after a long drive. The fine dining menu offered a lot of local produce... More

We spent a wonderful weekend (despite the heavy rain one afternoon) at this very quaint first class hotel. The views from our room were breathtaking, the decor querky and tasteful, the food excellent and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We did not use the car once we arrived - if you are a... More

Thank you for such an in depth review. We do value all comments both positive and negative. We do not normally seat customers in our fine dining Restaurant for Brasserie lunch, however on this occasion we made an allowance for such a large party and thought you would have more space and be more comfortable in our Restaurant. We apologise... More

This was our first visit and hopefully, now we have found you it will not be our last. We rate it as the best hotel we have ever stayed in anywhere. The staff have an innate ability to make you feel welcome, the food is second to none in both the restaurant and the brasserie. Our bedroom (17) was squeaky... More

Talland Bay Hotel is off the beaten track, down a narrow cornish country lane. It is set over looking the English Channel with a commanding view along Talland Bay and the surrounding cliffs. Externally the Hotel has beautiful gardens that are well mantained, with an assortment of unexpected and unusual surprizes everywhere you look. There is always something new to... More

Our first visit and not our last. The hotel is lovely; amazing location looking out over Talland Bay with sea views to rival those of any Mediterranean resort. The service was first class, efficient and friendly. We ate in the brasserie or restaurant every evening without the need to get in the car and find anywhere else to go. Great... More
