Disliked: Ensuite is a little cramped but functional.The dining area is very dark in the restaurant and breakfast room.. Bed a bit hard but a good size

Great value in a hotel...

Liked: First visit to this charming Herefordshire town and pleased to discover the Talbot has a rich history of "welcoming guests for over 400 years". The rooms in the old part are therefore full of character and somewhat higgledy piggledy but comfortable. Ours (#1) was up a short flight of stairs immediately to the right of the main entrance. They have newer rooms in an extension at the back of the hotel. The Oak Dining room is very special where breakfast is served. Everyone we met on the staff was helpful and friendly and full of useful information about the hotel and the town. The bar and lounge is cosy and welcoming and there is further seating outside towards the rear of the hotel. It is more or less next door to its fancier neighbour, The Feathers, and a short walk round a couple of corners to the all day parking. The High Street and Homend are full of independent shops with historic Church Street right behind the famous Market House and home to the Heritage House and Malthouse as well as Tourist Information. We had a wonderful 2 nights stay with opportunity to explore Great Malvern just 9 miles away and Hereford 16 miles to the West. Great value for money.
Disliked: New Street is one way and therefore you can't turn left towards the Talbot from the main road into Ledbury. If you don't mind a short walk, go straight to the parking first left behind St Katherine's immediately after the Feathers.
