This lovely cottage occupies a superb position carefully tucked away yet readily accessible to the lovely Talland Bay beach and enjoys an extremely private, peaceful setting with lovely profusely stocked mature gardens stretching down the valley side. The cottage is a short walk down the lane to Talland Bay beach which provides excellent bathing virtually on the doorstep and the ramp to the beach would enable the easy launch of boats, kayaks, etc.

Talland Bay has long been sought after due to the fact that there are very few properties in the bay. Talland Bay is situated between the picturesque fishing villages of and the harbour town of Looe both of which have been made prominent by the fishing industry in , Polperro having a picturesque harbour with clustered fishermen’s cottages and houses around it and still has a small active fishing fleet and fish market together with excellent restaurants, local inns and associated business and shops.

To the east lies the larger fishing town of Looe which has long been regarded as the shark fishing capital of England and fishing trips can be booked from the bustling harbour and piers with fresh fish being readily available on a daily basis from the fish market. The town has an eclectic mix of national and local shops along its high street. The wide variety of inns, restaurants, cafes and other businesses, a lovely town beach and numerous boating facilities to cater for the larger number of pleasure craft and yachts that use the harbour and East Looe River.

On either side of Talland Bay the South West Coastal Footpath provides access to lovely cliff top walks and further beaches with much of the coastal lands being under the stewardship of the National Trust.

To the north is the nearest market town of which has a mainline station that provides a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours and from Looe the East Looe Railway provides a link to Liskeard on the branch line. The road network provides access out to the A38 which then provides a largely dual carriageway link to Plymouth and onward to Exeter where one can join the national motorway network.
