The Talbot - Shropshire

Phil and Rosie have done an amazing job with the hotel. The drink and food selection is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. The hotel and rooms are fantastic, very well-maintained and clean. We felt safe with the COVID-19 restrictions and safety measures in place. If you find yourself in this area, the Talbot Hotel is a must-visit place to stay!

Yes found it a place where people are made welcome from the moment you walk through the door! Under New management great couple work their socks off to make you welcome even if you just want a Pint. Open fire, No TV!...but Music from every era playing in the background. So looked at menu and found food ideal for us all...even had a takeaway pie as a souvenir! Gosh, it was fun and enjoyable. Now on our Radar for many more visits Big free car back at rear of Hotel. Limited Menu but very good food value for money. I Likey!

Popped in for lunch on the off chance. Wow, what a great surprise! New management and a real breath of fresh air. Great atmosphere, good food and a really warm welcome. Only had a sandwich and chips this time but will definitely be back soon. Little touches, fresh hand sliced bread and real butter on well filled sandwiches. Spotlessly clean and a roaring fire. What more can you ask for. If you haven't been recently, go and try it. You won't be disappointed.

Although The Talbot is easy to find, situated right on the High Street, parking immediately outside the front is limited. Reception informed us of free parking to the rear of the Inn. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bed was really comfy with allergy free duvets and pillows. Could have done with a bedside lamp. The second twin bed did not have either a bedside table nor a lamp. No wardrobe but a few hangers on pegs on the wall. Ensuite bathroom modern and adequately equipped, however there was no hot water for the second person to shower ! Full English breakfast was well cooked with the best bacon ever ! At £79 per twin room per night its not a bargain. The ancient inn is cosy and seemingly well frequented by charming and friendly locals. Dinner menu wasn't great we went to one of the Indian restaurants instead (having listened to a local's recommendation).

HORRIBLE MANAGER. She was drunk and rude! Very aggressive towards everyone. She kept saying she owed the place... like we care! Cash only too!
