Just ten minutes from the A1 and A14, the Talbot Hotel, Eatery & Coffee House, is nestled in the heart of the beautiful market town of Oundle, Northamptonshire, which is situated in the picturesque and unspoilt Nene Valley.

 

The Hotel’s origins date from 638 AD when a group of Monks established a hostelry, on the present site, in order to provide food, drink and shelter to pilgrims and travellers visiting the monastery

 It was in the 17^th Century that the present building was purchased and rebuilt in stone, transferred from nearby Fotheringhay. 

With plenty of history including the staircase from Fotheringhay Castle, which is allegedly the very staircase that Mary Queen of Scots was led down to her execution, the Talbot Hotel has recently been updated and refurbished  to an exceedingly high standard.


The ground floor boasts a conservatory which overlooks the courtyard and Tudor entrance, warmed at night by the soft exterior lighting and roaring open fires within. All the public areas are light and airy making it an ideal place to meet friends, eat and drink.


The restaurant offers a delightful mouth watering menu to include full afternoon tea, lunch and evening menu, all prepared with the finest locally sourced ingredients.

With 34 bedrooms, suites and feature bedrooms, and 3 meeting rooms, the Talbot Hotel, Eatery and Coffee House looks forward to offering guests a warm, friendly and professional welcome.
