Had a 2 night stay here. On a work trip. Fabulous village. Incredible gym 150 meters away. Room 5. It was a lovely room and spotless, warm and cosy. The place oozes minimul, country, class in its decor. Warm fires. Chef was incredible as food was great at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lady serving breakfast both mornings was fab, adding a fun personality to efficient service. Thankyou! Coffee is spot on too!

We had lunch in the bar at The Talbot, Malton to celebrate a birthday. We had been in a few times for drinks, which were always examplary so we had higher expectations that the food would be excellent as well. We we not disappointed. The dining room is charming, painted a strong blue and feels old, but well maintained and comfortable, like a well aged wine. We had roast sea bass and a plate of calf's liver from the lunch menu. Perfectly cooked, wonderful flavour and just the right size to leave one satisfied but not stuffed. Ben, who looked after us, was very friendly and paid just the right level of attention. He really elevated the experience with his service. A lovely experience.

Stopped for Sunday lunch. Gorgeous roast and we were served by Hannah who was very attentive. She gave us some information about other Hotels and locations too. Would definitely recommend the food and we will look to try a stay over in one of the Hotels.

We've just had a lovely stay at the Talbot Hotel, Malton. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Even a Dyson hair dryer. We enjoyed Sunday lunch, which was excellent and another bar meal, which was equally good. The staff were all friendly and service was always with a smile. Top marks all round

We have stayed several times previously at The Talbot, although on this occasion we returned for lunch only. The food was first class, as you'd expect given the hotels high standards, and the service was without fault. All in all we really enjoyed our return visit and hope to be back soon. For anyone contemplating a visit, I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. Its a lovely, lovely hotel in a great location.

Located in a commanding position in Malton this atmospheric building has much to offer. Staff were attentive and the food satisfying. This place maintains and exceeds others in the chain of hotels. Just for us though the parking was a little difficult . My wife is not very mobile the spaces adjacent to the front door all were taken so had to park in spaces away and up the hill in the grounds. I suppose you can’t have the great views a hill gloved without some effort negotiating a slope.

What a lovely place to stay.. all the staff were super friendly and well trained in service. Coco was beautifully greeted and I love the wipes on the front porch for paws and treats and the welcome pack she received. Our room was beautiful so a big thankyou and we will be back. Dinner was delicious too.

This review is for the restaurant only - we did not have an overnight stay. It was the first time at The Talbot, we were meeting friends for a lunchtime catchup. Quaint, atmospheric, and quality service were the immediate thoughts. We were greeted formally and shown to our table then a very friendly, breezy waiter came in - just a joy. The food that followed was very good and everything after that was superb. We were even helped to use the voucher. This is going to be our restaurant of choice in the future. Thank you for such an enjoyable visit!
