The hotel is nice but there was a significant amount of damage to the shower that had been patched over years and a lot of black mould from very poor cleaning. Breakfast was mostly good although the eggs Benedict wasn’t so good.

The bedroom was excellent but the en-suite bathroom was very small and inadequate. The rest of the facilities were excellent and could not be faulted.

I had a very pleasant one night stay at the Talbot. My room was very comfortable with a king sized bed, ensuite, and tea and coffee making facilities (Taylors coffee bags even). Breakfast was served in the beautifully wood panelled dining room, where there was a large bowl of fruit compote and yoghurt as well as cereal waiting. There was a good choice of cooked food and eggs royale was perfect. It is a lovely old coaching inn slightly in need of some TLC but not modernising as that would spoil the charm of the place. I would definitely stay again.

Lovely old inn, plenty of character. Rooms clean, nice bed linen and towels. Lovely breakfast and staff very friendly. Air-conditioning would have been appreciated but wasn't expected and really is seldom needed in the UK. Pleasant to sit in the beer garden for drinks and snacks.

Really friendly staff, comfortable room, and great food!

Great location very dog friendly and the staff were excellent. Great selection of beers, cocktails and wines. Will definitely be back for another visit.

A great spot, reasonably priced with a good breakfast and good bar food. All we wanted.

Great atmosphere and welcoming staff - room in good order. Bar lovely to spend time abd chat

Good value. Great position. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the beer , light supper & breakfast. Decent tea & coffee in the room. Hot tap loose in the on- suite, however room was clean & cosy. No parking but able to park by roadside not too far from the Inn. Would stay again.

Excellent hotel lovely food and the breakfast was very good All staff were very welcoming especially Tom the Manager Will definitely stay again

Fantastic staff! Bedroom was big and roomy, clean, well decorated and all amenities included. Only negative is that there is no parking but we were aware of that and there is a public car park literally a 100 yards away. A special mention to the breakfast staff who were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Would thoroughly recommend and would stay here again.

Lovely stay in this 400 year old building with all its quirky characteristics. Obviously you cannot expect the modern look and feel of ‘normal’ hotels…this has charm and character. Minor issues would be the rather drab colour of our bedroom….no other option than sugar in the bedroom, we would like sweeteners….a little mould on the shower tiles needs attention.

Yes good choice of drinks

Parking was very easy and with the hotel being right on the high street there something there for everyone

Really attentive service! Great location for hiking

Great location. Property with character and mostly comfortable. Because of the old building if you’re tall then be careful…lots of low ceilings and doorways. Very friendly staff throughout. Nice restaurant and a bar.

Yes

Friendly staff and locals in a beautiful Olde worlde hotel. Made to feel very welcome but genuine none of this going through the motions. We loved it and will re visit.

The rooms were clean and well presented. The hotel in all was very good, staff and facilities.

Everything was really great 👍
