Talland Bay Hotel is a hotel wedding venue based in Looe, Cornwall, included on the Cornwall Council list of approved venues for civil ceremonies. Set in one of the most-photographed corners of the country, the venue offers couples a Cornish backdrop for their wedding day and combines the practical considerations of celebrating in a recognised venue with the character of its specific setting.

Looe is a working fishing town on Cornwall's south coast, divided in two by its harbour with East and West Looe linked by the old bridge. It's surrounded by quiet wooded valleys and a stretch of coastline that stays a little under-the-radar compared to the north.

In their own words, the team at Talland Bay Hotel describe the venue as follows: "Talland Bay offers a playful escape from the ordinary world. We offer you stunning views of the South Cornwall coastline, with beautiful rooms and luxury service. Plus we have food and drink that" That gives you a sense of how the venue presents itself; for couples planning a wedding at Talland Bay Hotel, the next step is usually a viewing — most Cornish venues are happy to host informal walk-arounds outside busy wedding weekends.
