Talland Bay Hotel

A large, old-school coastal hotel, sitting pretty in a wonderful hillside spot above Talland Bay. Gabled and whitewashed, surrounded by gardens, it's an eclectic mix inside: all rooms have their own touch, like a roll-top bath, flouncy four-poster bed or balcony patio, and there are some surprising design flashes – a zebra-print here, a heritage stripe there.
