The Old Talbot Hotel Milton Keynes

What an amazing place. Recently stayed for two nights and found the room to be exceptional with added touch of tea/coffee facility with Brownies.... Garden is very well kept and a delight to sit and while away time. We had breakfasts and found them to be lovely, plentiful and at a good price. Hosts Claire and Mark make your stay, they are so welcoming and always ensuring you are happy and have everything you need. Such a shame this place is not on our doorstep as we would be frequent visitors. Hope to plan a stay again.... highly recommend booking here, you will not be disappointed.

I had a lovely evening in the company of some Australian friends who were also staying there. The place looked very promising as we walked into the bar area yo meet them. However, we had to look for staff to "check us in". We were brought across the car park to some obviously new accommodation and was very impressed with the standard of it. I found the bed a bit on the short side, but was extremely comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. The bathroom had a lovely shower, but the toilet seat wasn't the original one and was an in correct size. The biggest disappointment was the the food in the restaurant and was not anywhere near what I would have expected. My duck was tough and poorly presented and my partners chicken and mash was very unappetising and when asked was everything okay, I did comment on it. Our friends had a shared platter and it certainly did not look very appealing. I was hoping the breakfast might redeem itself, but the sausages were tough and given the cost of it, plus having to pay extra for tea and coffee made it a disappointment. £65.00 fir four very average cooked breakfasts was overpriced Overall, the place was lovely, the staff friendly, but not sure they took on board what we said. We have stayed many times in similar sort of places and this has the potential to be up there with the best of them, but they need to get the food side of the venue addressed. We had a lovely evening with our friends and the food, although disappointing, didn't detract from our evening with them.

The food is freshly cooked. Staff very friendly. A lovely atmosphere. The Sunday Carvery is special and really good value it topped up fresh throughout the day. There is a big choice of vegetables and always 3 meats. The pub menu is great too and they have themed nights in the week .

Firstly the three of us ladies were greeted by Jamie, who made sure we were looked after from start to finish. Our meals were absolutely amazing, our compliments to the chef. and a big thank you to Jamie. We would highly recommend The Old Talbot, and we will certainly be coming back.

A beautiful room with lovely decoration. Everything you need in a hotel room. Very stylish and cosy. You can tell these rooms are very new as ours was spotless. Just a short walk across the car park to the pub where they had live music and good food. Only downside was that there was ‘muck spreading’ going on in the nearby fields! (But that’s not the fault of the pub.)

Our first visit for a meal and it was absolutely lovely. We will definitely be back. My wife, myself, and our daughter thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Carbonara, Sirloin Steak with Mushroom Sauce and Chunky Chips. And Fillet Steak with Garlic and Butter Sauce and Chunk Chips. The Steaks just melted on our mouths, and the chunky chips were awesome, light fluffy on the inside and nice and crispy on the out. The service was excellent also 👌
