    The enormous Siemans facility in the back. Huge structure with bright lights at night. Spoils the old building. What a shame the city let them build this here. Terrible idea. Ridiculous really.

    Nice old building with comfortable rooms

    Should have stayed a day or two longer

    The staff could not be more helpful, they went beyond what was expected and looked after us very well. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Oxford. It only a short bus trip into town, the bustop is only 150 metre away, leave the car in their car park and just commute.

    The only down side was the busy road. Coming from a quiet village it did seem loud to me initially. However I soon zoned out from it and all was well. It was quieter in the eve.

    Location was brilliant for what I needed. Quaint place, with accommodation behind the main building. Plenty of parking, nice views across the stream and fields. On a main road which is probably the only downside, but to be fair the traffic noise was only a hum when in the room and didn't disturb me as I thought it might. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Rooms were spotless, with complimentary water, biscuits and chocolates (nice touch) There was a proper hair dryer in the room, not one of these silly hotel ones where you have to hold the button in and the cord is so short you break your neck. Fresh milk was available on request. Bathroom was modern and beautiful, with a waterfall shower and plenty of room to do a jig. The bed is one of the most comfortable I have slept in. I travel a lot for work and struggle with sleep, but this one had me out for the count in no time and I reckon I had one of the best nights sleep ever whilst away from home (huge compliment from me). Food- Dinner was just lovely. I had the special of Gerry's beef and venison pie. I'm not normally a pie person, but Gerry is my favourite uncles name and it appealed to me as he is a great chef/cook. This pie did not disappoint. Fully encased pastry pie, with potatoes and fresh veg. Totally delicious and hit the spot after a long drive. Breakfast was just as good, with the freshest continental I have had, and a great selection of fruits. I opted for what I thought was a light cooked breakfast of scrambled eggs and salmon. Nope......although it looked delicate and presented beautifully it filled me up and then some. A tower of eggs on a bagel with pieces of salmon running through, topped with a large sliver of salmon to finish. Totally delicious and set me right for my long day ahead. Thankyou Talbot in for making this lone female traveller feel welcome, safe , and looked after. If I am ever in the area again....I will be back.

    Nothing at all.

    Comfortable, clean accommodation in newly renovated annexe rooms adjacent to the inn. Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the evening, joined by friends, and breakfast in the morning. All food was fresh, well cooked and well presented. Overall one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. Would highly recommend.

    I can't think of any.

    The location of the hotel is excellent, river flowing by on one side, hills in the distance, birds singing in the morning, idyllic! The food was equally good, staff friendly, helpful and very accomodative of customers' needs. All in all, we had a lovely stay at the hotel.

    Could not fault it

    On arrival we were greeted by Lucy. Happy, cheerful and welcoming. Lucy was informative and made sure we were happy with the room. In the hall they have umbrellas available and baskets provided for wet/muddy boots, what a lovely touch. The room was very clean, comfy, with tea/coffee biscuits and two bottles of water provided, very nice. The shower was lovely . Nice products provided. Great hairdryer. Our party ate in the restaurant at The Talbot and my, we were pleased we did. The food was absolutely delicious 😁. Well done to the chef/s👍 Hot, fresh, well presented could not fault it. We had the specials menu fantastic. Desserts were a joy. Freddie, Lucy and all the waiting staff were marvellous. They were so attentive. Didn't have to ask for the water to be replenished it was done without request. Drinks were offered at the correct times. We go out often, and it was a joy to receive such welcoming and personalised service by all the staff. The atmosphere was charming. The decor chic yet cosy. Yes its a definite recommendation from all our group. Thank you for making our stay memorable 👍❤️
