The welcome from wardens Marilyn and Larry was fantastic, they have a wealth of knowledge and great interest in the house and history of the area. We enjoyed our chats with them.
The room was very clean and comfortable. Lovely to have information about the house in the room for us to read at our leisure.

Amazing experience hosted by volunteer wardens who could not have done more to make me feel welcome. Perfect location, bike storage, beautiful garden, and a museum and house tours to enjoy too. An amazing stay in a historic gem.

Can’t begin to describe what a great stay this is. A real experience, if you are doing the battlefields, then staying or visiting here is a must. Comfy beds, great facilities and good breakfast. Loft chapel is probably the nicest chapel or church I have ever seen mainly because of the emotion involved. Thoroughly recommend.

Talbot House has a history that is so important and our stay had extra meaning just for that reason. We really enjoyed chatting with other guests, too. The bathroom facilities were immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. It was truly like visiting a 'home'. I would recommend to everyone!

A lovely, historic place to stay!
This historic place is impressive to say the least. paintings, photographs and signage on the walls were both beautiful and entertaining. The location is perfect for visiting Poperinge and surrounding area.The back garden is inviting and relaxing. The breakfast was delicious in a lovely setting. I highly recommend Talbot House!

A unique and immersive opportunity to stay in a property used as a social club by soldiers in WW1 and is now a museum.
Friendly and helpful staff (especially Chris!).

Hotel or museum?
Its bedrooms in the old house are not sound proof in any way and doors slamming into the late evening with recorded historical voice tapes and a chess games room just outside the bedrooms stop you having a good nights sleep. In my opinion the old house should be maintained as just a museum and dining and kitchen area. It doesn't work as a museum and a hotel. The breakfasts were well presented and abundant in variety and the bread, cheeses and ham super fresh.

Experience a Part of History
If you're interested in history, you should stay here. This was used by British soldiers during WWI. A piece of history that you can connect with. A rare experience and well worth supporting. The house is great and filled with history and there is a museum which offers free admission to guests at the hotel. We did share a bathroom, but it was always available and very well kept. I will definitely stay here again.

I stayed here one night when we were doing WWI battlefield tours. This was a wonderful find. So much world war one memorabilia. The rooms were simple but comfortable. Shared bathrooms were clean and quite private. The grounds and the home are just beautiful. Very much in keeping with the theme of our trip. Highly recommend it.

Great for a family. Much more than just the museum
We visited for a quirky break while traveling from Disneyland to the UK. A family of for with a 5yo and 1yo, we staying in a room with bunkbeds. The beds were really comfortable with deep pillows.
Simon welcomed us at 9pm after a 3 hour drive and took the time to show us to our room and explain the hotel and amenities.
It is a very old building, so expect the odd creaking floorboard, but the upkeep was very well maintained.
The next day we went for a walk into the town centre, which was less than a minute along the road, where we found a local market. Fresh food, clothing and accessories. We also found a huge garden with a selection of garden games.
