We popped in for lunch recently and found only one other couple there. One member of staff was quite friendly, the others spent their time wispering to each other. The food was OK at best with the crumbliest, yes crumbliest, and tasteless ham I have tasted. They still offer pineapple with gammon! In 2012 ! Sorting out the bill was... More

I have stayed at the Talbot three times because of work commitments in the area, and I heartily recommend it. The rooms are very comfortable, the bathrooms excellent with nice toiletries and the breakfast is really good - plenty of fresh fruit, home-made bread. The evening meals are also good, with pleasant service. It's not cheap, but both accommodation and... More

We spent 2 nights in The Talbot Earlier this month as we were attending a function close by . There was a pleasant welcome, but our room was very small,more suited as a single, only one bedside locker and little room to move around. Bathroom on the other hand was quite large. The bed was poor other furnishings were adequate.... More

We decided to go to The Talbot as we thought it would be a bit special. It is a pleasant pub and the bar staff were polite and welcoming. We ordered two crab and prawn salads and a portion of chips. We were brought a glass of this salad and queried that it was a main course as it looked... More

Pretty village, with windows proudly displaying Michelin and Alastair Sawday stickers, two starving out-of-towners wooed. Decor's pleasant enough, if a little bland, and the dining room's empty but it's early and the menu looks good: pea and mint risotto, lamb shoulder and sweetbreads, confit of duck. 'I've smuggled you some bread from the kitchen," the waitress - who's lovely, no... More

The Talbot is best described as a country pub with rooms rather than a hotel, but don’t be put off staying there because of that, my wife and I went there for a two night weekend break and will be certainly returning. The proprietors and staff are very friendly and welcoming, the restaurant serves really good quality food, the wine... More

Though the pub is fine and the room was fine, it was very expensive for the facilities on offer. I would have expected a better level of service for this price, with a night porter and a residents bar facility perhaps. The pub landlord was a bit strange too, I thought, though not what you would call a problem, he... More
