塔尔博特酒店

Kim and Richard were superb, fantastic recommendation for a lovely walk nearby, food was delicious, room had everything we needed. The atmosphere was wonderful, the regulars all super friendly, highly recommended, would jump at the chance to stay again!

Dans un ravissant village soigne et fleuri… une famille sud africaine nous accueille avec un enorme sourire et une chaleureuse hospitalite. Pub avec beaucoup de cachet et Petit dej délicieux

First impressions not good. Basically shown to our room and left to get on with it. Not told about emergency procedures or if there was anyone on the front desk or who to contact. Furnishings in the room were poor. The lampshade was broken as per the pics. One bed was loosely put together, kettle had seen better days and didnt switch off after boiling. The wooden chairs were broken and the wardrobe was old and worn. Paint was peeling off the window sill. A shelf was missing in the bathroom over the sink and the toilet brush was very dirty. And just to top it off the main light bulb was very dim and old and the room never got any sun so was very gloomy. A nice canvas of the lovely Dorset countryside would have looked a lot better than a fruit canvas. We would not stay here again. Price per night was high and didn't include breakfast. Very disappointed.

Awful place, freezing cold, not hot water and we.were.told they are closing in 3 weeks, they really didnt care! Beware !! Food is awful, rooms smelly and cold, landlady is miserable. Avoid at all costs

TV remote did not work on volume and no apparent way of changing volume on TV Cold water not working on sink nor toilet cistern. Bath OK

Wifi hopeless No phone signal No GpS coverage Terrible place

Great place in a beautiful village. Staff were helpful, great spacious apartment. Highly recommend!

Warm friendly greeting. Room looked pleasant enough but would not pass the "Alex Politzi" test. Dust on furniture, cobwebs in the grate, curtains hanging off poles (due to the type of rail). Towels on the bed not in the bathroom. Room was draughty and cold. We had to get a blanket from the car. Cold water ran hot when it eventually came through. Evening meal was basic but good quality and well cooked but several things on menu not available. Not informed there was no breakfast available, contrary to the website. Had to ask about breakfast and advised to go to the village shop. Village shop does not serve breakfast per se but was able to provide toast and tea/coffee. No customers in the restaurant or bar, we appeared to be the only ones in residence. This is a basic hotel catering for contractors and travelling salesmen, not what was represented on the website.

Bijzondere ervaring: op rijdagavond wordt er geen eten geserveerd, op zatermorgen is het ontbijt pas vanaf 9:00 uur. Dan zijn wij allang weer gevlogen. Weer een B&B zonder breakfast. De douche kregen we niet aan (vreemde constructie) en de deur kregen we niet op slot (ook een hele vreemde onbekende manier). Verder wel lekker rustig en pubachtig.

Well…. The manager/host was a total dithering wreck. We soon were told that there was no breakfast even though breakfast was included in the price. The rooms were so out dated and needed attention everywhere. Paint flaking off walls, mould on the window sills. We were then advised that there really was no evening meal as there had been a family party ( their family) and he wanted to leave at 7pm, and didn’t want to turn the friers on. The barmaid ordered us a Chinese locally which was nice for the price. The landlord was still there when we went to bed at 10pm. Very disappointed and would not recommend anyone else staying there.

Website misleading. Kitchen shut for 23 hrs in the day. Staff and landlords otherwise very helpful.

The property is beautiful and well kept, beautiful location. No much eating options, you need a car to drive around

Hotel is seriously dated, bathroom had mould and was generally not clean. No easily accessible power outlets and tv bolted flat to the wall so it couldn’t be comfortably watched from the bed. Had to struggle with three separate blinds on the window - felt like I’d had an arm workout by the time I’d finished! - didn’t block out the light or the draft. Cups were dirty and chipped. The keyring is so ridiculously large you can’t fit it in a pocket - I know they need to try and stop people forgetting to leave them when they check out (I had to just dump it on the bar as nobody was around) but it was almost as big as the to remote! Doesn’t serve breakfast but this is not mentioned anywhere on the write up, hotel’s website or during communications or check in - it’s only mentioned on a notice on the wall in the room. The suggested cafe is a good 20mins walk away at a nearby school! Dinner is only available between 6-7pm (again, this is not communicated) and there’s only two options for vegetarians - a vegetable lasagne or a soup. I opted for the “home cooked” soup which turned out to be packet soup they’d just added water to - bright yellow with about 3 tiny chunks of rehydrated carrot. One of the worst places I’ve ever stayed in If I’d been booked for more than one night I would’ve cancelled the rest

No restaurant as chef on holiday!!!broken kettle.no WiFi code in the room

Pleasant atmosphere

Lovely people, comfortable bed

On entering the property it was noisy not what I was expecting very laid back approach room was right above the noisy pubs bar so no way of having an early sleep due to said noise (after a 6hr drive ) food was mediocre at best and a set menu on the wall the exterior lighting for the pub shines straight into the room and lights it up like a football match so again no chance of an early sleep breakfast was set at a small half hearted English breakfast not other options available would I stay again definitely a NO there for over £100 I’ve stayed In considerably better and in better areas this was more of a £50 room and very disappointed

We received a warm welcome from the licensee, who showed us to our room. The room was very spacious and the accommodation met our expectations. Would certainly stay there again if in that area.

Had a very enjoyable stay. Food and drink were tip top. It's my second visit to The Talbot, hope to come again next year!
