Oundle Farmers Market is Tomorrow!

Some of the lovely fresh local produce available on the market!

Just in case you forgot, the Oundle Farmers Market is tomorrow (Saturday 8th September). The market is held on the 2nd Saturday of every month and runs from 9am - 2pm - so don't miss it!

From pies to potatoes, local brew, burgers and everything in-between, the Farmers Market sells the very best in locally-produced food. Pop in to see us at the Talbot for lunch or a spot of afternoon tea after you've taken a leisurely stroll around the very best in British - we are only a few steps away from the market, opposite the war memorial.

Car Parking

The Talbot Hotel. Eatery and Coffee House is conveniently located right in the heart of Oundle, near Peterborough, making it very easy to get to. There is car parking throughout the town if you are popping in for a short visit, with our own car park at the rear of the hotel for hotel residents or dinner guests.

To get to the car park, drive past the hotel with the hotel on your left, then continue 300 meters past the Oundle School. Take the first left at the crossroads onto Milton Road, then take the first left almost immediately after turning into Milton Road, just before the primary school, on to Drummingwell Lane. You will have a high wall to your left. Continue down the lane for around 200 meters to reach our car park. Please be aware you will need to pick up a parking permit from reception.

The Ashton Suite

The Ashton Suite is one of our largest rooms, boasting a comfortable sitting area with television, a generous bathroom and the gorgeous bedroom with exposed original oak beams.

All of our bathrooms have been renovated, with the bathroom in Ashton Suite a fine example of this.

Oundle's Attractions - Barnwell Country Park

The area around the hotel is full of wonderful days out for all of the family - Barnwell Country Park is a lovely example of this. Open all day, every day it is a beautiful spot to take the kids, with a exciting fenced play area and plenty of space to use up all of their energy!

Admission to the park is free, although there is a small charge for parking in the pay and display parking.

Those fond of fishing will find the park a delight as the waters at Barnwell Country Park include two former gravel pit lakes, and "the Backwater" a streamy side channel of the River Nene.


The park has around 5.9ha of willow fringed lakes and 1km of river bank of which fishing is permitted on North Lake (2.48ha), Mill Lake (1.43ha). The lakes and backwater contain a natural head of coarse fish. No formal stocking has taken place.

The lakes gained quite a reputation for specimen carp with the fishery record for mirror carp standing at a massive 46lb. Unfortunately this fish died in 2005; however fish to over 30lb are still present. Pike to 28lb have been caught and other species include Tench, Roach, Perch, Chubb, Bream and Eels.

The park is also a wonderful spot for walks, with plenty of quiet spots by the lakes to watch the sun set. We highly recommend you visit the park on your stay with us.
