Top 10 Reasons To Have An Autumn Getaway At The Bay Talland

One of the greatest pleasures of an autumn getaway to Cornwall is the sense of tranquillity along the shoreline. With the peak summer season behind us, beaches like Talland Bay, Looe, and Polperro feel almost untouched, giving you space to unwind truly. 

Stroll along the South West Coast Path at your own pace, breathe in the crisp sea air, and enjoy the sound of waves without the bustle of busy crowds. It’s the perfect opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the Cornish coast at its most serene.

Cornwall in autumn is a feast for the senses. The coastline takes on a new character, with fiery sunsets painting the horizon and woodlands glowing in shades of amber and gold. After a rain shower, the sea sparkles under dramatic skies, making it an ideal time for storm-watching or capturing breathtaking photographs. 

Whether you’re wandering through colourful villages, exploring woodland trails, or simply admiring the view from your cottage balcony, the natural beauty of autumn in Cornwall never fails to impress.

After a day exploring the Cornish coast, there’s nothing better than returning to the warmth and comfort of your holiday cottage. At The Bay Talland, each property is designed with relaxation in mind, think underfloor heating, inviting living spaces, and modern kitchens perfect for home-cooked meals. 

Many cottages feature log burners, so you can curl up by the fire with a glass of wine while the sea breeze rustles outside. Whether you’re looking for a romantic hideaway or a spacious family retreat, our cottages provide the ideal setting for a cosy autumn escape.

Autumn is a wonderful time to enjoy Cornwall’s seasonal flavours. From hearty seafood stews and freshly landed fish to locally grown vegetables and game, the region’s produce really comes into its own at this time of year.
