Talland Bay Hotel, Looe

A hotel with an abundance of quirkiness, a lovely quiet location for anyone wanting to relax and enjoy the SE coast of Cornwall. The quality of the food and service were both excellent. The happy demeanour of all the staff made our stay a very enjoyable one.

A warm welcome, professional staff, good food and drinks in interesting surroundings. Stunning views from the picturesque gardens...a few too many quirky bits in the garden. Less is more! Heading away from interesting and tasteful to tacky territory in my opinion. Most of the place is delightful.

Visited with my mother for an early Mother’s Day treat to experience afternoon tea. Living locally we’ve always wanted to visit and have wondered what it would be like, well we were very impressed and so thrilled with our choice. I’ve had a fair few afternoon teas in my time and this had to be up there with one of the best. The staff were faultless, so helpful without being overly fussy. The views from the conservatory area were outstanding and then a walk around the garden in the sunshine after eating was the perfect way to finish our afternoon, the grounds are so well kept and the views are just absolutely phenomenal. We will definitely be back!

Well what a gem of a hotel. Maybe a hotel is too bland. The Talland Bay was nothing we had experience before from the friendly staff to the quirky Alice in Wonderland and fairytale decor out side an in. We were warmly welcomed at reception and right away made to feel at Home. The staff here are friendly and professional, from reception, the bar and through to the restaurant could not ask for better. Our suite with sea view was absolutely amazing. Luxury is an understatement. It contained everything one would need. Spacious, easy chairs to lounge in and a great four poster bed. The room was clean and well looked after. Not only are there great views form the room, you get even better with a short walk to the gardens. These are neat and well kept. In the evenings you can sit, sip your cocktail and watch the rabbits cavorting on the lawns. The restaurant is full of great decor and has a wonderful ambiance in the evenings. We chose to eat breakfast in the conservatory. Breakfasts were simply great with a wide choice from full "Cornish" to simple fruit and continental. Everyday was a joy to sit eat your breakfast with a sea view, Evenings started in the bar with a aperitifs or wine tasting. The sommelier was excellent in recommending the right wine for your choice of dinner. The dinners were again simply superbe every evening be it steak done to perfection, or fish just excellent. The last night we had freshly caught Lobster, which was in another class simply delicious. Having not had lobster for many a year it took me back to my childhood holidaying in Cornwall and having fresh lobster and crab regularly freshly cook, having been caught by my Grandfather that morning and boy did he know how to cook a Lobster! If you want a tranquillie setting for a quiet or romantic weekend then this is the place to be. We had three glorious nights here and would definitely recommend the Talland Bay Hotel. It is one of the best boutique hotels we have had the pleasure of staying at.

One of the nicest hotels we have been to - Thai was our second visit and we will definitely return. The location is perfect with views over Talland Bay and the staff all go the extra mile to help. To top it all off the restaurant is first clasa

My husband surprised me with a trip to Thailand, but I was most surprised by the hotel he chose. Everything was almost perfect, cleanliness, stunning views and service at the highest level. We will definitely return there. The price is surprisingly low for the quality. Those who are not convinced - it is worth it!
