We booked 2 double rooms,1 room smelled musty like a dirty mop, they came in and sprayed the floor which made it slightly better, the other room was in fact a family room (for 1 person) this room smelt like sewerage. After several conversations we were offered another room, the new room was a downgrade from what was booked, we are still waiting on confirmation of compensation.

Very comfortable bed and delicious food for both dinner and breakfast. Lots of parking. There was a tour group being booked in when we arrived, and only one person on the service counter. That staff member was patient, friendly and efficient. The white horse pub, a short walk away, also had good food.

The reputation suggests a good stay, however, and though no fault of the staff, the hotel is well used and needs investment - broadly. Those 'front of house' are a credit, but, absent investment The Talbot will be lickend to the car bearing the name - good but not special! 😞 Renovation is being conducted - there is hope. All carpets, seating and facilties need improvement.
