Talbot House

after booking for a family weekend back in april we arrived to find we had no rooms although they had already been happy to take more than half the cost upfront!! as a result the family was sadly split into separate hotels not at all what we had planned or wanted. my advice would be to avoid!! we still have not received any kind of refund nor did we get a apology on the day!!

Firstly I felt somewhat disappointed when I arrived! Photos of the rooms have been vastly exaggerated to make it look better that it actually is. On arrival stood waiting in rain to be let in as door was locked, waited for what seem like ages! First tjingni noticed in reception area is the smell of damp which follows you up the stairs and was definitely in the room we stayed at first. Pleasant enough lady at reception if a bit quiet ( never asked us how our stay was, probably for the best). The room was quite badly decorated (not much care and attention). Please be aware if using room 2 the carpet is not fitted properly, they are asking for someone to trip and fall! Also woke up in morning to a leak from upstairs toilet! Sat on toilet with stinking water dripping down, had to sit forward to avoid being splashed on the back! And it did STINK!! The lady offered to move us to a different room. This room was better and a bit cleaner but not by much! The bed slats on tje bed came loose and fell off after just sitting down, however it was OK to sleep for the last two nights of our stay ( we would have gone elsewhere bit it's Easter and likely.fully booked). Toilet roll holder fell off and loads of grime around window. All in I won't go again. You might be OK for 1 night at a push but that's it. Didn't risk breakfast so can't comment on that. Such a shame more care not given as could be quite nice

Stayed her recently and upon arrival we were given a warm welcome and explained what time breakfast was and how the front door worked. The room we had was tiny. Just big enough for the bed. The bathroom just as small, however this is like a lot of guest houses. The room had a few cobwebs, but overall not that bad. The mattress was terrible, I had a spring in my back all night. And the curtains were white which means very disturbed sleep after dawn. Breakfast was included and was very nice, though tables were very small. The location is absolutely brilliant as was the price. All in all not a bad place and you get what you pay for.

room clean and tidy breakfast good dinning room spotless good location rooms need a lick of paint would stay again arrived early but no problem booking in staff owner very helpful and friendly no more to say
