Great Stay

Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Greeted with a roaring wood fire making the wet weather tolerable. Check in was seamless and the bar and restaurant very welcoming. Food was superb and staff polite, cheerful and helpful. Big bonus being dog friendly, they were accepted everywhere except the restaurant which was understandable. No problem we ate in the bar and as all the other guests did too it made for a really warm and friendly atmosphere. First visit here and it will definitely not be our last.

One Night Deluxe Stay with Breakfast for Two

One night memorable break

With a range of locations and hotels to chose from, we opted for the Talbot Hotel in the lovely market town of Ledbury. The Talbot like many of the building in the town is a picturesque timber framed building bursting witj character. Our room was a good size and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Would definitely recommend this for an overnight break.

Postponed stay

Unfortunately & sadly we had to postpone our stay as we had a family bereavement and hope to get to the hotel very shortly. As you can understand we haven’t set a new date yet but the hotel and their staff have been wonderful during this awful period and I’m sure we will have a wonderful time there soon

So glad we changed the voucher!

So this has got be one of the best spa experiences ever had! When I fall asleep in a facial, you know its a good one, Abbie was the epitome of what it is to be a spa therapist. The drive fro Derbyshire, yes i s a long one at just over 3hrs but, the comfiness of the beds and chill factor if the spa really helped us unwind quickly! Staff all very attentive and no issue went unresolved. Highly recommended! NO KIDS defo a bonus
