Very delighted with presentation , quality and service associated with a recently enjoyed Sunday roast..The Talbot does not just prepare "a pub meal". Attention to small but important detail for me is that when served, the plate presentation prompted a "oh this looks great both from my wife and I.

We had a very warm welcome and our stay was wonderful! This bed and breakfast has a lovely English countryside character and really attentive staff. It is a good location (easy to get to but quiet at the same time). The food is also great and always fresh and well presented, a thing you don't always get with pub around... More

Beware. I visited this pub on route from Frome to Blanford Forum. It was midday and I needed a loo stop. The entrance is into a lobby from which there are 2 solid doors marked Bar and Male toilets and the other Lounge. I went to the Bar but there was no one there. I past the toilet so used... More

Considering I was a complete stranger who wandered in out of a cold and snowy night - the proprieters were very thoughtful and accommodating to a poor weary traveller who had broken down and was waiting for the RAC. They allowed me to use the phone as I had no mobile signal at all and I was able to park... More

The food was pretty good and the staff were very pleasant. Some observers have commented that it was overpriced, perhaps a little, but most Hall and Woodhouse pubs tend to be a bit that way. Possibly tenants find it hard to make a profit without pushing th price a bit. This isn't a particulary inspiring building but comfortable seating and... More

My husband and I stayed here whilst attending a wedding in the local area and were extremely impressed. The staff were extremely accommodating, allowing us an early check in to get changed, as well as helping us with directions. The room we had (melbury) was spacious and clean and the cooked breakfast and fresh fruit buffet were excellent. We would... More

We stayed for three nights to attend our friends' wedding in Stourpaine and to spend some additional time in Dorset afterwards. The location was recommended by our friends, we had a look at The Talbot's website before, and our positive expectations were more than met. A warm welcome, a very nice and absolutely clean room, friendly staff, a wide choice... More

We have often had supper on impulse here before. Tonight 22.08.12 we had inedible rabbit. We challenged the chef to see if he could cut it from the bone - no response at all. We then tried the lemon meringue pie. How on earth do you make lemon meringue pie that doesn't have any lemon flavour? The Talbot managed it,... More

Stayed for one night as at a 70th birthday party nearby. The family room was lovely and everything spotlessly clean. Sadly the older staff were very unfriendly and made no attempt to engage us in any converation. It was clear by my accent that we were not local but we did not even get eye contact never mind a smile.The... More
