Immerse yourself in spectacular Cornish surroundings at this vibrant beach house and smaller bolt hole combined, where you will enjoy beautiful sea views from most rooms. Phoenix and Little Phoenix are two side by side properties, providing a large, versatile space for families or groups of friends to escape together, whilst retaining some privacy. Nestled within the beautiful scenery of Talland Bay, you will find this hidden gem. With its own access to the twinkling, turquoise waters of the bay through Phoenix's garden, this unique property is ideally positioned to enjoy a walk on the famous South West Coast path, before returning to enjoy the sunset with a drink in the secluded garden.
Talland Bay is ideally positioned mid way between Looe and Polperro, making it an excellent base for exploring the rugged and breathtaking South Cornwall coastline. There are two local cafes within easy walking distance (seasonal), or for a more decadent evening, book a table at the award winning Talland Bay Hotel restaurant which is a short walk.
Phoenix; An established garden comprising of a large decked terrace with outdoor seating and sea view, and two further grass areas.
Little Phoenix: Decked area with seating for two, and a balcony with glorious sea view.
Lying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Talland Bay sits on the unspoilt coastline between Looe and Polperro. There are two small sheltered beaches here: Talland Sand to the west and Rotterdam Beach to the east. Just a few hundred yards from one another, they are both excellent spots for swimming and fishing, and at low tide are particularly good for rock-pooling. If you fancy being a little more adventurous you can take to the water in a kayak, which can be hired from the Talland Bay Beach Café.
The South West Coast Path runs right through Talland Bay, so there are plenty of opportunities to explore the spectacular scenery. It’s just 1.5 miles along the coast path to the quaint fishing village of Polperro, which is pedestrianised, so is best accessed on foot anyway. If you want to travel a little further afield, how about a day out at the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan or simply spend time relaxing on one of the bigger nearby beaches such as Seaton, Downderry or Lansallos.
Talland Bay is small but classically Cornish with its own long history of smuggling and shipwrecks. You also might notice the two large towers on the eastern side of the bay. These are “measured mile markers” used by ships to calculate their speed. If you walk the coast path to Looe you’ll find two more on the hillside above Hannahfore. Along the way keep your eye out for the array of wildlife, from skylarks hovering and buzzards soaring in the skies overhead to butterflies visiting the wildflowers which surround the cliff paths.
Talland Bay is a great base from which to get out and explore the rest of Cornwall, but if you’re in need of some quality relaxation time, the local beach is the perfect place to enjoy a few lazy days unwinding in a naturally beautiful setting.
Private parking for up to 3 medium sized cars.
