Lovely clean room with comfortable beds. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The roaring fire in the bar was very welcome during a cold snap!

The parking was bit of an issue. Returning late, I was unable to get a space in the car park on 2 nights of a 4 night stay and had to park on the road. There was a lot of furniture in the room and I had to move the chair everytime I wanted to get into the wardrobe.

Delightful staff. Good fresh food

Exceptional staff ,Breakfast was perfect very clean throughout the hotel

The evening meal was ok but the cheese and biscuits was appalling the state of the cheese was end of life and not edible at so unfortunately I had to complain which I didn’t like doing

Comfortable, quiet well appointed room with double bed and bath/shower facilities. Excellent breakfast served in their lovely dining room. Hotel was full of character, enjoyed looking at the tribute to Mary Queen of Scots and sitting outside in the garden area.

The hotel and staff were excellent as were the meals we ate there. Nothing was too much trouble, right down to providing a bucket and cloth to wash off Bird poo that was splattered over my car when I foolishly parked beneath the trees in the car park. Lesson Learnt!

There was nothing that made me unhappy with the stay.

I was genuinely surprised here, the hotel was lovely, with so much character, i loved reading all the bits of history on the walls, and i got the mary queen of scots room, which was just lovely, everything was great, and i don't usually sleep well away from home but slept brilliantly in the big beds. Food was good, staff were really lovely. I would 100% stay again. But still 9.9/10

My only "minor" gripe was the lack of power in the shower, something that always bothers me, and the windows are really old so don't close fully and roadworks outside. But absolutely not the hotels fault.

Room and bed quality. Location. Bar atmosphere and whiskey. Have stayed many times at the Talbot. There is enough to like that I keep coming back. Parking is easy. The hotel is dog friendly, and provide a blanket and water bowl, excellent. The prices are excellent value for money, given the place does have atmosphere.

1. Historically the wi-fi connectivity in some rooms is unusable. I remedy this by asking for a room with good connectivity every time I stay. The hotel kindly locates me in a room with good wi-fi. However, it is a pain to have to remember to do this every time. The bottom line is all rooms should have very good connectivity, it's a hotel. I do hope this has been resolved. 2. Breakfast buffet area is frankly poor quality. Cooked breakfast is just about passable.

everything was as usual excellent, this includes food, room, staff (especially helpful staff) and general ambiance. I must prise again the hardworking staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.
