Polperro is beautiful, a very traditional Cornish village, lots of little nooks and crannies. Talland House is very close to the harbour and in the town center. There are lots of places to eat close by and we had lovely coffee each day at the House on the Props which is next door. The 2 local food shops were both very helpful and friendly. Tallard House, is very well equipped, beds are very comfortable, plenty of room for 6 people. Lovely to have the river outside the kitchen window. Tallard House was clean on arrival but would benefit from a lick of paint as it is looking tired in places also a deep clean . There was a broken chair on the roof outside the landing window and under the beds seems to be a dumping ground for other equipment. A welcome pack would be nice, something we have had at other properties. There were toilet rolls and some washing up liquid, hand soaps and some fire lighters . The tumble dryer still not working and we were unable to tune in the radio in the dining room as no signal. Also a heater in the downstairs bathroom would have been nice. The parking is exactly as described up a very steep hill, the details were very clear and helpful, we struggled on one day because of sheet ice on the road, but that was unavoidable. I would advise people to use the taxi service as there really is a problem with parking close by. Tallard House is in a perfect position to enjoy Polperro .

Talland House has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The house itself oozes traditional charm, with a fabulous wood burner in the lounge and the unexpected bonus of 2 Christmas trees for our festive week of celebrations. Comfy beds and sofas, an extremely well-equipped kitchen (perfect for a Christmas roast with all the trimmings!) and incredibly effective storage heaters all added to the magic of our first Christmas in beautiful Polperro. Perfectly located right in the heart of everything, with pubs, restaurants, lovely little boutique shops and a great convenience store. The harbour lights were gorgeous and the balcony helped keep all our Christmas tipples nice and cold! Linda - the owner - was lovely on the phone and swift to accommodate our needs for check-in. When Sharon came to clean the house on our day of departure, she couldn’t have been friendlier and was very reassuring when I apologised for the increased amount of Christmas- generated bags of rubbish! Alex came and picked up all our luggage and transported it to the car park without any issues - we highly recommend his Polperro Luggage Taxi service! We had such an amazing week that we have already booked for next New Year! Thank you for the perfect Christmas!
