Talbot Hotel  

An attractive hotel which could do with a bit of redecoration. However, the room was nice, the bed with duvet was very comfortable and in the bathroom there were lovely huge bath towels. A real bonus! Breakfast was very good and the staff helpful and friendly. Difficult to find the right words to describe this hotel as it is very much for tourists (a lot of local history), parents visiting their children at Oundle School and like us attending a family funeral.

comforable room, adequate car parking, good breakfast

Room was not ready for us when we arrived at 12 noon.

It was close to where we were attending a wedding. Members of my family had alreasy booked and suggested we had a get together before or after the event.

Too many stairs and no elevators.

Friendly hotel staff in a delightful historic setting. Refurbished room was nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Breakfast was rather slow coming which didn't matter at all as we were on a weekend break.

In the spirit of summer adventure We wandered through villages green soaked up by our senses was Eliott's England with an earthy piquance that artists have seen and though kindred spirits have been here before us the Talbot seems timeless and surely remembers all of the curious souls she has seen.

The only slight disadvantage was the walking down long corridors.

Location, cleanliness of the room and breakfast was excellent

I stayed in thIs hotel because of its proximity to Oundle School and subject to what I am about to say, it is a very decent hotel. The rooms are nice and clean and the staff are very pleasant. The hotel desperately needs some major overhaul to their water system. Twice in a row, when I stayed in March and June 2011, I had trouble enjoying a hot shower when I needed it. In march, the system broke down and I had to wait until the next morning. This time, the cold water stopped working for a few minutes and I almost got burnt. It worked back to normal after a long while and by this time I was completely exhausted so couldn't be bothered to report to the staff. One might think that I wasn't clever enough to work the faucets, but not so. There was a third occasion further back when I stayed in a room (which had used twice) and had trouble working out the faucets. I called for help which arrived shortly and was told that I was not the first to require help.

The room was very clean and confortable

There was alot of damp on ceilings and could not pick up any signal on the mobile phones

We had a lovely room, comfortable bed with extra pillows provided. The staff were friendly and efficient, and breakfast was excellent! Would stay here again if I Was in the area again, although to be honest it was a lot of money to pay for the six hours sleep plus breakfast!! The shower was very powerful too which was good, and the court yard layout of the hotel was unusual but worked well.

the location and history.

the breakfast service was very hap-hazard, buffet bar not replenished or coffee. breakfast service on the saturday really let the hotel down, and marred our stay.

Sauberkeit des Zimmers / Geschichte des Hotels (Mary Queen of Scots)

Die Crew war zu verschieden - teilweise sehr hilfsbereit - teilweise aber auch noch sehr unerfahren - Eine gewisse Konstanz käme in der Summe sicher besser an.

The hotel is charming and Oundle is definitely worth a visit.

The whole place is being renovated. My room was relatively new but very basic, particularly the bathroom.

Food is good. .

The shower was not working properly.
