The Talbot Country House Hotel & Inn

Dined at the Talbot on 29/12/25 a party of 6. The service was wonderful didn’t get her name but she was at Edinburgh university. Food was fabulous and the surroundings wonderful. The house and the rooms are kept as they would have been, just a shame I wasn’t staying there perhaps the next time we’re in Malton

My wife and I stayed for 5 day's while visiting Yorkshire. The location is central to many places to see. We enjoyed a beautiful room with a canopy bed , sitting area and a beautiful view of the fields to the river. The bathroom was amazing with a claw bathtub for my wife and a great full shower. The sheets and linens were great quality and plenty of room amenities to go along. The food was excellent, the service amazing and the staff were so kind we didn't want to leave. The Sunday roast dinner did not disappoint. Superb. Thank you also for providing a laundry service, much needed on extended holidays. We look forward to staying there again in the future and thank everyone who made our stay memorable.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this fabulous hotel. We loved the beautifully stylish county house interiors: the bar was warm and welcoming and how delightful it was to relax in the comfortable lounge beside a roaring log fire: the perfect refuge from the blustery, stormy weather outside. Our room was comfortable, welcoming and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast and would like to commend the professional, cheerful staff who clearly take great pride in the hotel. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

My husband and I stayed here for four nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we arrived we had been upgraded which was a lovely surprise and we had a four poster bed room. Water provided, tea and coffee provided, n espresso machine also. Toiletries in the bathroom which was huge and spotlessly clean as was the room. Towels were soft and fluffy and large which is always a bonus. |Our only comment on the room was that a safe would have been good to leave laptops etc in. The hotel is secure enough but this extra would have given us peace of mind when out and about for the day.|Every member of staff was extremely polite and pleasant especially the bar staff. Dinner was just delicious with lots of options and again, any dietary requirements can be catered for. Breakfast was excellent with cereals, yoghurts, fruit, juices, pastries and a good range of cooked options. |We can’t wait to come back again next year as still many places we would like to visit and this is a perfect place to stay.

Stay was very good. The hotel staff are really lovely and made us, and our dog, feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and quiet, over looking the garden. The evening dinner was excellent, imaginative, very nicely presented and great flavours. Well done Chef.

Exceptional.|This is such a beautiful, cosy hotel with a classic, country house style. The roaring log fires in the lounge and bar areas made the Talbot rhe perfect escape from Storm Claudia raging outside. The staff were professional and welcoming and obviously take great pride in the hotel. Breakfast in the pretty dining room was delicious. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

We booked the Talbot, in which we last stayed possibly 15 years ago, as we wanted to escape fireworks with the dog and our usual place was full so we only booked the morning of our arrival after calling to check they weren’t doing a firework display. |Before checking in, we wondered around Malton, eating lunch and buying cheese on the market which is fabulous. |We checked in via the email link sent on booking, so collected the key and went to our room which was absolutely lovely. Massive bed, great shower and best of all, quiet…|We went down to the bar where you can take dogs, loads of wet noses therein, and had some great ale and wine before going to eat. The menu is lovely, we opted for the gnocchi and braised cheek as mains and i had the potted pork with black pudding and crumpet as a starter. Fabulous flavours. |The breakfast that morning was excellent. I’m a fellow of the English Breakfast Society and would happily score this an 8.5/10|Points lost for only half a roundel of black pudding, unnecessary green garnish and the beans being in a pot but the flavours were fab. |We will 100% be back

As somewhat of a regular visitor I am ashy to say I haven’t yet written a review. This hotel gives coming home vibes as soon as you walk in through the door. Staff are friendly and remember faces, always smiling and friendly. The sitting room is cosy and bright and evenings should be spent in the bar with the roaring fire, although the sofas are very comfortable so don’t be surprised if you feel like nodding off. I only live half an hour away but this tranquil oasis clears the head and spoilers.. the hotel is the setting for my next novel. Huge thanks to all.

This is my favorite hotel in Malton! It just went through an extensive renovation which really modernized the place throughout. What I love about this hotel is that no two rooms are the same. Each one has its own distinctive charm & character. For this particular visit, I was lucky enough to get Room 9 down at the end of the property that overlooks one of the main traffic arteries into the heart of Malton. That said, this hotel is a series of interconnected buildings that are at least a few centuries old! No elevator (lift) here; you're gonna have to navigate some stairs. But it's all part of the beauty of this place. The restaurant here showcases the fact that Malton is The Foodie Capital of Yorkshire. All the ingredients are locally-sourced and super-fresh. Definitely try the English Breakfast! No wonder Charles Dickens would come to Malton to escape London! And it's highly possible he stayed here, as Chancery Lane is literally across the street and features the office used as the model for Ebeneezer Scrooge. Cool history! Also, back in the day, the Onassis family would rent out the entire hotel on their visits to acquire Thoroughbreds, so there's a very good chance Jackie stayed here, too!

This a beautiful hotel with a delightful restaurant set in the North Yorkshire village of Malton. A luxury break - delightful rooms and special food.
