Welcome to The Talbot, a historic coaching inn in the picturesque village of Ripley, Surrey. Dating back to 1453, The Talbot is one of England’s most storied inns, preserving original period features that showcase over 500 years of history. Located less than an hour from Central London, it once served as a popular rest stop for travellers journeying between London and Portsmouth. The inn is famed for being the romantic setting where Lord Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton’s relationship blossomed in 1798. Today, The Talbot offers 43 en-suite bedrooms, a restaurant, a bar, and five function spaces, making it one of England’s finest coaching inns.
