“Unaccomodating, room not ready and lack of proper apology”

Reviewed 19 June 2013 NEW

Having booked the Talbot for a wedding we were informed of the rather late check in time. Most hotels are fairly accommodating if you have a wedding to get to - not the Talbot. I suppose that's their prerogative....however you'd expect the room to be ready when you do actually get the stated check in time, especially since they appear... More

“Pull your socks up!”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

I made a special trip to Oundle to take a very dear relative out for her birthday lunch. I had heard of the Talbot's makeover and first impressions are very good. The glazed lounge area was very pleasant for our pre lunch coffee and the service up this point was fine and friendly. However, things went a bit downhill when... More

“Historic Hotel”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

The Talbot Hotel is a beautiful building with an interesting history, connected to Mary Queen of Scots. It has been recently renovated and looks very good. Everywhere seemed very clean and in good condition. The courtyard is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a drink. Our room was lovely: overlooking the garden, with modern furnishings and new bathroom with... More

Ref: Our stay on 5th May 2013 My wife and I stayed at the hotel last Saturday in the Wood Newton room. My overall impression of the stay was excellent but I should note that some improvements should be made to enhance the whole experience. 1 The breakfast arrangements need improving greatly. When paying £175 per night I don’t expect... More

“perfect for informal lunch or formal dinner”

Reviewed 22 May 2013

We have been a few times since the refurbishment, which has transformed this lovely hotel from a rather dull, uninspiring, ordinary hotel to somewhere we make a beeline for whenever we are in oundle. The formal menus are excellent value, and the bar/snack menus really good, espeicaly the mustard sausages! The hotel also welcomes well behaved dogs, which is a... More

Thank you for posting a review and just as importantly, thank you for your loyal custom at the Talbot Hotel. We intended creating areas with different feels within the Eatery and Coffee House.

We have stayed at the Talbot over the past 6 years. The change over the last year has been astounding. Just a year ago they opened the newly refurbished coaching inn and for those of us who had stayed in the previous scruffy incarnation- the phoenix has literally risen. The buildings are ancient and beautiful, the renovations have taken this... More

We recently got married at The Talbot Hotel at the end of April and I can't rave about this place enough.
