5* location about 5 minutes' level walk from the town centre and church. The owners are wonderful - incredibly friendly, accommodating and kind. We had a long journey and arrived about an hour early, but the owners were lovely and let us park up and settle in even though they didn't have to. We stayed for 2 nights for a wedding, and our room was comfortable. All rooms seem to have their own access. It was a comfortable cottage-style room with everything you need, and a fair price. We didn't eat as we basically woke up too late (wedding indulgences...!) but it seemed good value from what was in offer. Tip: book direct if you can, the owners are lovely and said they'd always try and 'throw in a little something extra' if you do!

Just back from a two-night stay at the Talbot Inn, Cirencester with my parents. Ann, Dave and Ann’s sister were fantastic right from taking a booking via telephone to check out. Nice, cozy and clean rooms with excellent hospitality. Would recommend!

Loved staying here. Our room was in the loft next to main building which is totally separate and a small pub. Very clean and very comfortable. Had a small table and 2 chairs outside the split front door. Lovely couple running the place. So close to all amenities. Well recommended.

We stayed for a week away in the cotswolds, the talbot inn was a cosy welcoming place. The owners literally will do anything for you and have a great sense of humour, very personable and lovely people. Food was nice, lots of options for breakfast and room was cosy and clean. Particularly nice to have own private access to room (front door to the room is accessed straight from small carpark, not going through the pub and so coming back late or leaving early is easy) with a cosy searing area and fairy lights outside. We greatly enjoyed out stay
