The Talbot and Apartment

Poor over priced food and drinks. Rooms are noisy and dirty. Very u loved. Very ran down. Unhelpful staff and owners. Stayed when traveling with work. Room I was given must have been above the cellar as the noise of the coolers etc kept me awake all night. When asked if I could be moved I was told no as they were full. ( no apology). When speaking to another member of staff they told me I was the only guest. Room was dusty and very u loved. Furniture is damaged and old and not fit for purpose. Bathrooms was very stained and patches of mould in and around bath/shower

A last minute booking when needing somewhere to stay travelling from North Norfolk for a friends memorial. Fabulous response via email and phone from landlady Teresa and did all she could to help us We booked the apartment as we were travelling with our black lab Arriving late afternoon the lovely barmaid who I think was called Ellie (sorry if I got that wrong) however she was so friendly showed us to our room orientated us to the accommodation and local area, even asking if we were ok with our bags. Nothing was too much trouble during our stay We were made to feel so welcome by the landlord and landlady their staff, family and locals. The accommodation was lovely and clean and well serviced with added extras such as tea / coffee/ hot chocolate/ biscuits / small cartons of milk / toiletries. For breakfast we visited the beautiful village shop where he bakes his own bed and cooks fresh sausage and bacon We had an extremely pleasant stay, some lovely walks with well sign posted footpaths. Thank you to Teresa and Dean and everyone we met, we will be back. The negative reviews really are not deserved

Although I did not stay at this local village pub, I broke down in my vehicle passing through Iwerne Minster to then park in the Talbot car park until the AA attended leading onto a recovery being needed eventually. Total time in their carpark approx 8 hours. My main points being were that, the staff throughout had no problem me being there off the road, so friendly and helpful and arranged a local return taxi to take me back to recover my luggage 20 miles away at my B&B coming back to get recovered to get back up to Norfolk. I just wanted to review them and say that the friendliness and help took a lot of the stress away from an extremely long day/night. A massive thank you to one and all at the Talbot along with the local taxi guy Mike.

We have stayed overnight at The Talbot many times in the last few years to visit family in the area, very friendly staff, clean roons and excellent breakfasts We were booked in again for this evening, other family members arrived yesterday, shower not working in one room, milk on tea tray was dated 2023 and no breakfast available this morning! Despite offering breakfast on their website and then refusing a refund to the family members who had paid for Friday and Saturday.

Stayed for 2 nights over new years. Very friendly staff however very disappointed that on New Year’s Day they “ran out of breakfast” so we didn’t get to eat. Seems ridiculous as we were the only guests staying that night… too hungover maybe??

I have stayed here for two nights. Travelling the country for work I usually rely on Premier Inn simply as you get what it says on the tin, so was quite apprehensive when I booked this. I didn’t need to be. What a lovely friendly place. My room was lovely, clean warm and a very comfortable bed in which I slept like a log. The bar, barman and owners were friendly welcoming and the atmosphere was friendly and made me feel at home. Breakfast cooked to order and excellent. Evening meal, a lovely home made lasagne, what’s not to love. I know the owners are fairly new and in the process of making their mark, so if you haven’t been and you are passing them pop in, you won’t be disappointed.
