Lovely family atmosphere
Just had a lovely couple of days here. You really feel the relaxed atmosphere when you go in and Nicky and Mark the owners are very friendly and welcoming.
The rooms are nice, tidy and clean with all you need for a short break.
The building itself is quirky and well maintained with lots of nice little touches that keep you looking out of interest, much nicer than these large sterile modern hotels.
Breakfast was good and we had a great evening in the bar with Mark and some other guests, a real "must" to get the background and feeling of the place.
We would happily go back to see them when the opportunity arises.

Lovely weekend stay
My partner and I had a fantastic weekend break at The Talbot Inn. We were very happy with the room and location, and would like to thank Nicholas from the hotel's reception team for going above and beyond to make our stay feel welcoming and a great experience overall.

Superb
The hotel was fabulous and really good prices at the bar...
The carpark was a bit expensive at £25 per night and only 16 spaces but better than leaving in an insecure space.
The staff were absolutely amazing especially Hazel ????

Fantastic gift for sure
I was gifted this for Christmas from my husband and definitely my 'best' gift this year. Absolutely loved the driving experience. Booking was really easy and the guys on the day were excellent. Would highly recommend.
