On the recommendation of friends I spent my 60th birthday here and had a wonderful time. The service was excellent but relaxed. The food was delicious - the best cooked breakfast I've had in years. I even had a feet numbing paddle on the beach just down the hill. I loved the quirky decorations - especially the lovely old man... More

This is the second time my 82 year old mother, twin brother and I have been fortunate enough to stay in this magical place. The Talland Bay Hotel is total perfection! The warm welcome and discretely unobtrusive service is faultless. The rooms are superbly comfortable and decorated charmingly and the food in both the brasserie and main restaurant is first... More

This is a lovely hotel with quirky decorations, both inside and out! We arrived earlier than the usual check-in time but our room was available and we were able to check-in early. Friendly help with luggage arrived without being requested and we were made welcome. The friendly and helpful service continued throughout our stay. A lovely spot of lunch "al... More

Whilst visiting this hotel on the bank holiday weekend we decided to walk around the grounds after our meal. A woman walked passed us with 3 dogs- all of them barking (which could be off putting for someone who is afraid of dogs) As the dogs drew level with us one of them bit my husband twice on the leg....

Enchanting place with a breathtakingly beautiful seascape vista! Loved the fairy magical gardens surrounding the hotel, too! The artwork we loved the most were all the fabulous sculptures. It is charmingly quirky- you feel like you have stepped into Alice In Wonderland :-). Not so keen on the pole dancer paintings, must admit- guess only a select few would enjoy... More

There, that got your attention! A beautiful, small and friendly hotel that manages to be be classy and quirky at the same time. The views over the coast are spectacular, the food high quality and the service excellent. But what do fellow guests think about the almost life size prints of bare chested women with bondage style metal rings in... More

My wife and I spent four nights over Easter and stayed in one of the cottages with our Jack Russel. The welcome was warm and the cottage comfortable. The food and service were excellent, despite the hotel being very busy and Michael and Vanessa were genial hosts. Due to the location the hotel can be enjoyed whatever the weather but... More

Spent a very relaxing night at the hotel a couple of weekends ago. As I am on crutches it was nice to have a lovely ground floor suite and if the weather had been more favourable it would have been lovely to sit outside at our own patio......maybe next time! We ate in the brasserie which was very acceptable. The... More
