Talbot Hotel  

Wonderful Georgian building with Elizabethan features (!) in the centre of town. Good breakfast menu + selection

The hotel is in the middle of a (tasteful) refurbishment within the confines of a Grade 1 listed building, with some of the bedrooms and most of the public areas looking tired. A work in progress that no doubt will be very nice when eventually completed.

Friendly staff

No mobile phone cover, Quite spread out, poor breakfast offering, lacked atmosphere.

comforable room, adequate car parking, good breakfast

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

Terrific little hotel, full of history. Nice staff and very good breakfast included in the price. Overall we had a great time at Talbot. Absolutely no complaints!

We stayed because it was so close town centre and were doing food fair there on the 16 july and had early start

The menu was bit on the pricey side and felt that they need look at this as starter in bar ok main course just did grab us went had a meal at dexters food very good feel hotel take a hard look at it and learn 3 course and a drink for under £48.50

convenient

they should start 1 room at a time for redecoration, needed very much.

I liked the history attached to the Mary Queen of Scots Room, the old stone buildings etc. The hotel needs updating, but the work is already in-progress (I'm kinda glad we got to see it before the changes are completed) I specifically wanted to take my daughter to Oundle as this was where her father first lived when he left school. It was also close to Peterborough along with it's activities and shopping centres. She was greatly impressed with Peterborough Cathedral.

I felt as if I were in 16th century. I will tell my friends of "Mary Queen of Scots lovers" in Japan-Scotland Society about the Talbot Hotel and it is not only in the lowland of Scotland to explor the places connected with the tragic queen. The town of Oundel is also nice country town.

Excellent food.

Car park is not as private as expected, and was full - in spite of advertised assurance that no reservation necessary.

Convenience re. My visit to Oundle. I have know the hotel for many years and have stayed there on many occassions. Staff were friendly on the whole, particularly at breakfast. Food at breakfast was better than previously

I was not offered help with luggage when I booked in. No box of tissues in bedroom. As a single person, sleeping on ground floor, it was not comfortable being unable to feel safe to leave a window open overnight - there was no small window available. There remains a feeling of dreariness about the decor particularly around the reception area.

Recently renovated rooms have transformed this hotel into somewhere attractive to stay. The staff were exceptionally pleasant which is equally important.

Breakfast buffet was very limited and the kitchen/coffee/overall logistics were over stretched - but perhaps because busier than expected. Needs to be sorted but easy to fix.

Food is good. .

The shower was not working properly.

The rooms had been refurbished fairly recently so were fresh and modern but tasteful in an historic settting. Excellent breakfast included in the room rate.

Public areas are looking tired but we were told that they are due for a major refit later in the year.
