The Talbot Hotel in Shropshire

Stopped here for one night on our bike tour. Very reasonably priced rooms. Food was great and bar prices pretty good too.

Lovely clean rooms and lovely food and drink.

Fantastic. For £65 b & b. Amazing. Breakfast was spot on. Room was perfect too. Thanks for making our trip spot on.

A traditional, English Inn. The food was delicious, and exceptionally good value for money. I had a 10 oz steak with all the trimmings and it was less than £20. The steak was really good quality, and very locally sourced. The local ale, in my case a half of mild, was also really great. The only thing I didn't like was that the smell from the air freshener or pot pourri was a bit overpowering.

Super quaint little country pub style hotel. The staff are lovely,from check in until we left the staff can't do enough and are super smiley. The building is historic and the rooms are really bright and clean. Nice little touches like little toiletries in the room. Evening meal and breakfast were good and the prices are really competitive. Shout out to the manager and staff who had to deal with quite possibly the rudest person who was aggressive and abusive because he couldn't get his own way. Really lovely little place and we will definitely stay again. Thanks for a great stay

A great place to stay, room clean and cosy. . Breakfast superb , staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend and return

Lovely and friendly welcome. Helpful and efficient service. Clean and comfortable room. Good standard of pub grub. Good value for money.

Traditional English Family run pub, beautiful historic building And friendly welcoming atmosphere. I dropped in for a drink To meet some friends And had one of their burgers, chips, and salad. Cooked to perfection, absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

The room wasn’t attractive, it didn’t look fresh and welcoming, it had been given a basic clean. Part of the ceiling had plaster work where I assume there had been a leak. There were several dirty, dusty old cobwebs hanging down from the ceiling. There was mold in the shower and on the windows. The lampshade had a big stain on it. However we found the beds comfortable. We knew we had to pay extra for breakfast, which wasn't a problem. On arrival the woman who checked us in asked if we wanted breakfast but informed us we had to pay £6.95 upfront. There was no menu available to know what breakfast consisted of, we had to ask to find out. We found the cooked breakfast fine, nothing special and in our experience, not 'very good' as a lot of reviews state. The continental breakfast was buffet style and pathetic. Each cereal packet had barely enough to make one serving and as the cereal was the last of the packets, they were far from appetising. In the fruit bowl all the tangerines had soft, wet patches where they were starting to become moldy. Coffee and tea were sachets with a flask of hot water. The information in the room gave the impression the chefs and cuisine were of a high standard, sadly our breakfast experience did not live up to that. Car parking was difficult, parking spaces in front of the hotel and in the public car park behind were invariably full. We had to wait until a space became available, on both evenings. Information in the room read that they were a small team working hard, they prided themselves on their reputation, they'd appreciate it if we spoke to them if there was anything not to our satisfaction. I did not speak to anyone as I found it very difficult to believe this statement, I saw absolutely no evidence of pride or hard work when everything was of such a low standard, which the staff appeared to be content to proffer. I notice a review from September 2023 written by someone who also stayed in Room 6, and sadly there has been absolutely no attempt to rectify the horrors this reviewer had found. Sadly for us, unlike this reviewer who got a full refund we were not so lucky. On my return I emailed the head office of South Coast Inns, the group the Talbot belongs to, but received no reply. I think that says it all!

Fantastic cosy and friendly place to be. Brilliant relaxed local pub. Always got some good beers and ales on. Food is always fresh and hot. Staff always bright friendly and tentative.

Don’t bother staying on a Saturday night if you need any sleep, staying due to work and had Karaoke all night so loud you can’t hear Tv, really need some sound deadening if your going to call yourself a hotel and tell people upfront before they book. Front of building lit up lovely which lights up the rooms great, probably some black out blinds would be nice. lead to believe breakfast was included in the price, only to be told it’s extra for cooked breakfast, continentals included, was not mentioned when booking. I’ll stick with premier inn, at least you get a peaceful nights sleep.

Absolutely love the Sunday roast at the talbot would highly recommend a visit cannot fault the food& the service always very welcoming ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Didn'd stay over night only had a meal and drink which was reasonable at a reasonable price.p

Have just a couple of days away in Shropshire and based ourselves at The Talbot Hotel at Cleobury Mortimer. Beautiful old building lots of character. Very nice inside rooms very comfortable. Staff very friendly and willing to help. Food was good.

The pies are absolutely fabulous and Phil and Rosie are great hosts. Very covid safe. We had a great night. Thanks guys xxx We will be back x

Phil and Rosie have done a fantastic job with the Hotel. Really good selection on drinks and food with really good prices. The hotel and rooms are just fantastic and everything was really nicely put together and really clean. Felt very safe with the COVID-19 restrictions and the safety measures put in place. If you are ever up this part of the country, the Talbot Hotel is a place to stay and visit!

Recently my parents booked to stay at this hotel to celebrate my Dad's 80th Birthday. I contacted the hotel to see if they would be able to put a cake in their room. Not only did they bake the cake themselves , they also added balloons and banners and a bottle of Prosecco. We live in the US and so we were able to What's App with my Dad and sing happy birthday and "share" the cake with them. Katie and Rosie went out of their way to make this occasion so special when we could not be together. I would not hesitate to recommend this special place.

Excellent !! Would definitely recommend !! Beers and the hosts make you feel very welcome !! Certainly will use it on a regular basis !!

Yes found it a place where people are made welcome from the moment you walk through the door! Under New management great couple work their socks off to make you welcome even if you just want a Pint. Open fire, No TV!...but Music from every era playing in the background. So looked at menu and found food ideal for us all...even had a takeaway pie as a souvenir! Gosh, it was fun and enjoyable. Now on our Radar for many more visits Big free car back at rear of Hotel. Limited Menu but very good food value for money. I Likey!

Eight of us dined here for lunch - our first visit since the new owners took over recently. Seven of us opted for the Golden Years menu which, at £6.95 for a main meal and dessert, was excellent value. All the meals were thoroughly enjoyed. I had a granary banquette with Tuna & Mayonnaise with a salad garnish and crisps which was very tasty. The bread was lovely and soft. All seven desserts (mainly Apple Pies) were delicious. The interior of the hotel is very cosy and welcoming. All in all, a very enjoyable lunch - food excellent, reasonably priced menu and the owners made us feel very welcome. As we dine out as a group regularly on a Wednesday, this venue will certainly be on our “to visit again list”.

Popped in for lunch on the off chance. Wow, what a great surprise! New management and a real breath of fresh air. Great atmosphere, good food and a really warm welcome. Only had a sandwich and chips this time but will definitely be back soon. Little touches, fresh hand sliced bread and real butter on well filled sandwiches. Spotlessly clean and a roaring fire. What more can you ask for. If you haven't been recently, go and try it. You won't be disappointed.

Although The Talbot is easy to find, situated right on the High Street, parking immediately outside the front is limited. Reception informed us of free parking to the rear of the Inn. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bed was really comfy with allergy-free duvets and pillows. Could have done with a bedside lamp. The second twin bed did not have either a bedside table nor a lamp. No wardrobe but a few hangers on pegs on the wall. Ensuite bathroom modern and adequately equipped, however there was no hot water for the second person to shower ! Full English breakfast was well cooked with the best bacon ever ! At £79 per twin room per night its not a bargain. The ancient inn is cosy and seemingly well frequented by charming and friendly locals. Dinner menu wasn't great - we went to one of the Indian restaurants instead (having listened to a local's recommendation).

Sunday Lunch, before a walk, ok food but nothing special. Nice old hotel, good beer on tap, toilets awful.

HORRIBLE MANAGER. She was drunk and rude! Very aggressive towards everyone. She kept saying she owed the place... like we care! Cash only too!

We attended my grand daughters first birthday as they live in the village, my wife and I decided to stay here, The Talbot was a perfect choice, Our room number 1 was very clean and presentable, The craft beer Twisted spire is a great beer to relax with, The morning after, Breakfast was cooked beautifully, we found all staff and regulars to be very friendly, we had to go out for dinner as they did not serve food late on, butthere were plenty of eateries in the area, the bed was so comfy we didn't want to get up, we will be staying more often when we visted our grand children

I was working locally, from Ludlow had no idea where to pop in for a quick drink after work. I was served by a lovely young lady called Rachel, her bar skills were brilliant and she was very attentive to my order, I can be an awkward customer to serve but I felt obligated to leave a positive review as after a hard labouring day a cheerful pint and good custom is very well needed.

Called in on a Monday 20% off main meals which weren’t expensive to start with. Nice clean pub with separate dining area. Had fish n chips, fish nicely cooked, a shame the chips weren’t homemade but for the price wasn’t unexpected. Other half had the mini burgers, a trio of different toppings which he enjoyed.

Did not have a main meal but the breakfast was a joy to eat. Marvelous service and spotless accommodation and all at a very reasonable price. This is a charming, superbly run, 15th century coaching inn which I shall be delighted to visit again the next time I have occasion to be in the area again.

We stay at Broome Park Farm B & B every spring for a couple of days and eat at various places over the years and this is one of the places we have been to occasionally

Title says it all! Very helpful staff, comfortable traditional pub serving good pub grub at a reasonable price

Visited yesterday for a birthday lunch, there were 7 of us. All the food was great, steak was cooked to perfection, liver and onions looked fab. Hunters chicken, fish and chips and the salmon steaks were also delicious, also the 2 for £12 was an added bonus. Service very good and we all had a fab time. Thanks for the birthday cake which was yummy . Will be returning for lunch soon.

I love this little town, my daughter lives here, but i have never had a beer in this area, due to me visiting my grand children, however i had the opportunity to visit the talbot this weekend and found it to be superb, very oldy worldy, my family stayed in the room and found them to be very clean and comfy, story as it this place is haunted, my family found it a bit creepy, but i loved it very much, plenty of hobsons craft beer and and very good food, I will be staying in May, I Have fell in love with this Inn

We did not stay in the hotel but simply called in for lunch. The young man behind the bar was very pleasant and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit.. A pint of Hobsons Twisted Spire went down well. We opted for a couple of Hunters Chicken off the menu and pleasantly surprised by the two for £12 offer. Delivered to the table by the chef. Not a large meal but VERY good value for money.

We wanted a nice lunch on a cold wintry day and The Talbot Inn gave us just that. We were made very welcome with a choice of 3 seating areas and we sat near the wood-burning stove - perfect!
