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 list is fairly small but represents outstanding value, they have an excellent Sauvignon Blanc.
We have nothing bad to say about the Talbot, our only advice is that if you are planning to dine there on a Saturday night it might be wise to book a table in advance

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 was just odd.

It is just a pub, so be sure to check the price before you book.

A great pub with great food. The owners and staff are hospitable and welcoming and the room we stayed in was large, comfortable and absolutely spotless. The food in the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced and made with local fresh produce. But best of all was the breakfast - the best English breakfast I have ever had!

We spent two nights in the Talbot and thoroughly enjoyed our stay,
The room was light and airy and the bed very comfortable. We had one of the rooms at the rear of the hotel as we felt the front rooms may be a bit noisy as the road is quite a busy one.
The food was excellent - we had a evening meal for my husbands birthday which was superb, and not too pricey. We had breakfasts both mornings which were hearty to say the least,We would definately stay there again if we were in the area and would recommend it.
