Hotel terbaik di Stourbridge

WOW! What a hidden gem - standing majestically in plain sight in Stourbridge High Street. Even our taxi drivers missed the impressive facade! The Talbot, was built in 1327, and rebuilt in 1640 for ironmaster Thomas Foley whose legacy lives in road nams, pubs and other buildings. The grand hotel is the oldest pub in Stourbridge and the second-oldest building after the Quaker Meeting House. The Talbot has had a troubled past in recent years. At one time, it was semi-derelict insid. But last year, it was bought by Westbourne Hotels, which has swanky retreats all over the country. A £2 million refurbishmentw as carried out. Now the old lady looks like a million dollars. All the original features have all been retained - dark oak beams and floors, feature fireplaces - the lot. So what will guests find in this golden new era/ Well it's cheap as chips for a star. I was quoted £120. I thought it was £120 per night - but no 1320 for BOTH nights. Amazing! We were allocated a ground floor room - without asking - which was great because I have mobility problems and I wouldn't have been able to manage the sweeping staircase. So was everything wonderful? Not quite. Looking at photos of the decor and facilities in other rooms, ours was Spartan. Tiny with comfy single beds, a good TV and an inadequate bathroom with an ill-fitting fitting shower. The toilet set was missing. Obviously Room had been over developed in the revamp. Food: The Talbot offers the usual pub grub - fish and chips, burgers etc - but also has a marvellous little fusion restaurant. Not mentioned on the website, by reception or outside on the A-boards There no signage on the door of the eaterie! But inside is a fabulous restaurant serving fusion dishes - Chinese, Indian, Thai - all freshly cooked. My wife and I had Chinese curry with rice; and chcken noodlesl combination. My wife couldn't resist the New York cheescake. Yum, yum, she decl red. The total bill came to (wait for it) . . . £24.85 My wife and I have small appities and each left half of the food. Enough for 2. So if we had shared one mouth-watering-mains, the bill would have been around £15. There are Fawlty Towers slant on the Talbot. The staff are lovely but scarcely speak English. They do smile a lot. Nice young men. The hotels requires to lave a £50 'deposit' which is returned on checking out. Why.?

Really comfortable, staff very friendly. Spa and gym facilities. Breakfast was nice, but had to keep asking to get things topped up. I would definitely stay again

Not a bed place very quite
