Hot water was in short supply (upwards of 5 minutes running water before heating). Room was also cold, but to be expected in an older building like this.

Lovely location, convenient for local weddings. Staff were very accommodating of our large group (5 rooms).

I felt the room could have had a little bit more character, but it had all the facilities needed and was clean so I was happy.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The views were amazing. The bed was super comfy, and the shower was surprisingly powerful. Very pleased.

Attractive pub, excellent beer, friendly staff and clientele.

The rooms are upstairs, so could be diffiuclt for anyone with mobility problems.

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and cosy log fire. Breakfast and evening meals had a good selctions to choose from and were delicious. Room was clean and had everything we needed for a two night stay. We will definately stop here again next time we are in the area.

Check in location wasn't especially clear, so ended up waiting at the bar, but was fine in the end. Needs a new shower-head in the en-suite.

Nice to stay in a traditional English pub that has plenty of character. Good beer in the evening, the bedroom was clean, tidy and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent.

location

Stayed in November 2021

The "garden view" from the King Charles room wasnt as expected being dominated by a large flat roof and exposed wiring and we couldn't see the garden at all. Decoration of Stairway and corridor leading to bedroom very tired and doesn't offer a good first impression. Bedroom was better

Comfortable room. Breakfast was very good.

Easily manageable with a dog. Community atmosphere of bar. Friendliness of bar/serving staff.

The staff only need to make sure the meals are served piping hot.

The general ambience and the quality of the food and drink. We will definitely visit again.

The shower wasn’t very powerful, it was noisy when the bar closed. Staff were hard to find to check in or to pay the bill.

The location was perfect for us at this time. The room was airy and quite large, the floorboards were very creaky and uneven, which I understand is due to the age of the property, but a warning would be good. Staff were hard to find both when we got there and when it came leaving in the morning, no obvious reception area for checking in. Breakfast was good, but not out of the ordinary.

The breakfast was excellent, the evening meal satisfactory but choice was limited.

A charming and popular pub, set in rural surroundings, complete with its own brewery (Teme Valley Brewery), which is to be recommended. All the staff were friendly. I had the vegetable quiche and salad which was very tasty and I would have had one of the delicious sounding desserts, had someone ever returned to take my order! I put this oversight down to the pub being very busy that evening. I loved the view from my window (room 5) of the kitchen garden, the geese and ducks. The bed was very comfortable and the room clean and cosy. The bathroom was a little on the narrow side but I would rather have that, than not have an en-suite. The pub is conveniently located for visiitng the Malvern Hills and events held at the Three Counties Showground. I look forward to staying here again.

Some of the furnishings such as carpets and mattress were quite worn with use and stained and could do with being replaced. Apart from that, old furniture were giving character to the rooms in this historic coaching inn. Stairs may be quite steep to climb for less firm guests. As rooms are above bar area and restaurant, people outside talking carries up to the rooms, so can be a bit too much if you were hoping to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere in the evening.

Nice surroundings and outdoor areas with plenty of space to sit outside, good food and locally brewed beer at the bar. Also social events such as music / band playing and rehearsal venue. Local walks.

Could offer a little more choice of continental breakfast items.

We stayed 1 night at The Talbot for a nearby wedding and had a really comfortable stay. The bed was really comfy and the cooked breakfast very tasty. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
