The Talbot is nestled in the picturesque village of Ripley in Surrey and has for centuries played its part in history. It is said to have provided the stage for Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton's love affair to blossom in 1798 and remains one of England's finest coaching inns. Refurbished to an exceptional standard, The Talbot retains many impressive historic features, whilst introducing a contemporary twist. Wonderfully relaxed and welcoming, you’ll find a cosy bar with open fires, real ales and outstanding food. Our restaurant features a stunning copper ceiling and glass wall overlooking the Summer terrace and garden.

We have 43 bedrooms available for guests, 9 of which are brimming with the traditional character of the old coaching inn. We have a range of traditional and contemporary rooms, many of which are furnished with solid oak furniture, complementing the original features of this 15th Century Building.
