Talland Bay Hotel

About

Talland Bay Hotel is a charming, family‑friendly boutique resort perched on the golden sands of Cornwall’s South West coast. Nestled in the tranquil village of Porthallow, the 20‑room property blends rustic charm with modern luxury. Each room boasts its own unique theme, complete with bespoke furnishings, sumptuous fabrics and private terraces or bay‑front windows that offer sweeping sea views. Whether you’re planting a honeymoon, celebrating a wedding or simply seeking a peaceful break, the hotel creates an inviting, “home‑from‑home” atmosphere. The hotel’s culinary offerings are a highlight of the stay. Head chef Glen Merriott constructs seasonal menus that showcase Cornwall’s finest local produce, from fresh seafood and beef to lush garden vegetables and artisanal cheeses. The restaurant is complemented by a lively lounge & bar featuring a curated selection of fine wines, craft ales and a house‑made gin distilled in partnership with the regional Colwith Farm Distillery. Seasonal afternoon tea, served from late October through early December, offers light pastries, clotted‑cream scones and a variety of teas, complete with 24‑hour advance booking. Talland Bay is famously dog‑friendly – guests can bring their pets on the track, into the room, the conservatory and even to dining, offering a truly inclusive experience. Pet‑friendly spaces such as the sprawling docks, the coastal walk and an indoor conservatory pre‑sell the charm of a Cornish holiday. With a blend of sea‑side tranquility, elegant accommodation, family‑friendly and pet‑friendly policies, and a passionate focus on local food and craftsmanship, Talland Bay Hotel provides a quintessential Cornish escape for guests of all ages. (best season: late spring to early autumn for warm weather, best for dog‑friendly walks and beach time)
