"We stayed for 3 nights here in a ground floor room. The hotel is well kept and has a lovely setting, and very peaceful. The grounds are well cared for, and everything was kept clean whilst we were there. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. note there is no air conditioning in the room which in the high temperatures of summer can be uncomfortable. We were provided with a fan for our room) The staff here are very welcoming and excellent ambassadors for the company, nothing was too much trouble. The food at both restaurants was very good, in fact superb to be honest, and would recommend a stay here to include dining at both Milsoms and Le Talbooth. Transfers to and from the restaurants was rapid without any real waiting around. There is no bar facility so bring your own nightcap! Or enjoy one before returning home. It feels a very safe place to rest and rejuvenate. Swimming pool was a treat with lunch delivered and again very tasty. We enjoyed both the room service continental breakfast and the traditional menu at Milsoms, both excellent quality. A few minor details were disappointing for me personally which I intend to take up with the hotel directly, and are only constructive to make this place even more enjoyable, but to be frank they wouldn’t prevent myself or my lovely wife from staying here again. We read so many complaints on trip advisor about all sorts of small issues which could easily be resolved directly with the hotel, and yet many use this platform in a biased way, with the hotel not able to respond and rectify. We are confident that you will have a very pleasant experience here and no doubt be well looked after, and more importantly, will recommend and return. Very pleasant few days. Thank you Milsom family."

My wife celebrated her birthday at the Maison and said it exceeded her expectations. She especially loved her massage facial with Sabrina in the spa. Our dinner at Le Talbooth and breakfast at Milsom’s were both superb. Staff at all the venues were delightful and couldn’t do enough, especially Alice in reception. We shall definitely visit again.

We spent a night at the Maison Talbooth and dined at Le Talbooth restaurant as a celebration of all our birthdays this year. The accomodation was palatial, the dinner beautifully prepared and presented particularly the Chateaubriand and we even greeted the new day with an early morning game on the tennis court. The staff were all very friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly return.

Our first stay at Maison Talbooth but a repeat visit to the wonderful LeTalbooth restaurant. Although we are living in strange times with the hospitality industry so stiffled the teams made us feel so welcome. Our room was comfortable and spacious with amazing views. Dinner was incredible as always with most superb food and wine, particularly the Cote de Beouf! We rounded off our stay with our spa treatments, excellent massage and a really love team in the spa. Would absolutely return for 24 hours of total relaxation and indulgence. View menu

A lovely spot, a well presented restaurant, delightful staff. A bit let down by the cooking. No specific complaints but my slow cooked pork was tough not cooked slow enough or long enough, and the roast potatoes accompanying the beef were grim, too big, a bit raw and deep fat roasted. A well roasted spud is a wonderous thing- these were not. I saw many make a return journey to the kitchen!! The beef was nice and there is theatre with the carving in the room. The meal for 2 was £130+ with n coffee and only one glass of wine as one diner was driving.

I visited with the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and we had a superb meal, in the company of Ian Rhodes (General Manager and a member) and of the owner of the establishment. We started with some of the last of the season's fresh asparagus, followed with stone bass and marine vegetables, and closed with a deconstructed black forest gateau. The service was impeccable and the ambience of the restaurant, right beside the river on a summer's day, was perfect.. Being mobility-impaired I was exceedingly kindly-and well-looked-after. Frankly, the whole experience would have been hard to better

We were blessed with warms sunny weather which enabled us to enjoy the fantastic pool and spa facilities at the hotel. We loved our stay from the moment we arrived until we departed. The room was on ground floor with doors on to a private patio which made it easier to pop our small dog out for a walk and was beautifully decorated {Masefield} and had a generous choice of complimentary drinks and snacks, Dyson fan and sky T.V. The staff were very friendly and fussed over our dog , Mary Anne, Lauren Sarah very helpful. We had dinner and breakfast at the adjoining Milsoms restaurant a short drive away food and presentation excellent. Would recommend. View menu

We stayed here for a family wedding, our room was large and well appointed. We found the fan too noisy to leave on at night and with the windows open it was rather annoying to listen to both staff, we were situated close to the kitchen, and guests who have no concept of the need to speak quietly after eleven at night. Our breakfast on both days was excellent, not an enormous choice, but everything was of a good quality, the sausages were excellent, this is from a non sausage eater. Dinner was good, although having to write your own order was unexpected, but all our party of 15 enjoyed the food, two items in particular stood out, the squid rings and a duck starter.

Whilst staying at Maison Talbooth we enjoyed being transported to and from Le Talbooth for one evening meal. We had booked well in advance and were not impressed that rather being seated in the restaurant we were seated in outside 'conservatory ' more or less attached to the main building. The meal was good but not good value for money. A subsequent meal for 2 at a nearby restaurant cost in total less than the cost of a single course at Le Talbooth and the quality was really excellent. Going back to Maison Talbooth only a Continental breakfast is served at the establishment, but those wanting a full breakfast need to travel to Milsoms to get it. The Continental breakfast proved to be disappo...

"Carluccios was my first dining experience out following I was impressed by the measures put in place by the team and how well these were adhered to. I felt completely at ease throughout my meal, staff wore face masks, tables were socially distanced, staff...were visibly washing their hands/using hand sanitiser throughout and the cleanliness of the restaurant was unmatched. It was reassuring to see these protocols in place during these uncertain times. The staff really went above and beyond to deliver the authentic Carluccio’s experience despite the current challenges! My experience was amazing from beginning until end. I was greeted by management at the door and by the wonderful bar team, Gemma and Emma, who made me feel welcomed with their friendly greetings as I shown to my table. I was then greeted by my amazing waitress Sasina, who is an absolute credit to the team! She was so friendly and bubbly, very attentive to our needs and delivered an overall wonderful experience! Our drinks order was taken promptly, we were asked if we had any allergies (very impressive and offered bread and olives to start off with. Once our drinks arrived, our food order was taken quickly without any hassle. Sasina suggested the lasagna for my main with a side of the garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Her suggestions were superb! Sasina was also very mindful of the fact my guest was a vegetarian, making sure to point out all the vegetarian options (and even went out of her way to get some vegetarian Parmesan cheese Our food came promptly and cannot be faulted. It tasted incredible (big thanks to the amazing chefs We had the garlic focaccia with cheese, tomato bruschetta and calamari to start which was delicious. The calamari is the best I have ever had! And for mains, we had the lasagna and the spinach and ricotta ravioli (which the lovely Sasina was able to change the usual sauce to a tomato one with a side of garlic and rosemary roast potatoes. Our meal was phenomenal and the service was even better! My mother and I will be returning to dine with the amazing team at Carluccios without a doubt! Overall, the restaurant had a lovely, welcoming ambiance. All of the staff were smiley and friendly and all made a point of saying goodbye to us as we left the restaurant. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the mouth-watering new menu! Thank you all for a terrific experience!"

"as you all should know, this girl loves to eat her! So I wanted to try something else I didn't have before. so yak yeti was your turn. I ordered online, although the restaurant is like a 5-minute drive away, (feeling fazy did not want to go to dress up, etc.) so I decided for my starter networks. the food was delivered within 30 minutes, it was still hot, bonus! container that they used were very good, so no spillage at all. popadoms were crispy, went nice with the dips. regarding eating, not only did it look delicious, it also melts delicious. then I tried and o to the m to the g, it was spicy, too spicy in the did that I continued to eat. my mouth has broken the food, as I said, looked delicious, so I tried another gift from the dish shot, still too spicy. Now I have no taste at all, but it is a Nepalese restaurant that they use spiced by many species, I guess. but whatever they use is too spicy for me, if I tried to continue, I would later be in jeopardy, because my just don't do spicy food. as a girl who loves to eat, I will not destroy this restaurant just because I cannot tolerate spicy foods. in future I will notify the restaurant to add not seasoned over very mild to future orders. this restaurant has a very good high review online so I encourage them to try it for themselves, just remember that eating can be sharp. otherwise they hope a wonderful day! love as always justine xxx styleoutyourhome"
