It is hard to put in to words. If you wish to feel at peace and, in some small part, to try and take yourself back over a century to a time and a set of circumstances that thankfully none of us can really comprehend, ie the lot of the soldiers of the Great War, then this is the place to do it. Talbot House is run by volunteers. They are all kind and helpful. The others that you will meet will have come from far and wide and will help you to appreciate how wonderful this sanctuary is. It falls to us all to support it and to keep it going.

I’ve been visiting Talbot House for many years now, and always wanted to experience an overnight stay. This finally became a reality in August when I stayed in the Vandewalle Room. Not only did I enjoy time to explore the historic house at leisure, but I spent a relaxed evening sitting in the garden, and a very tasty full English Breakfast the next morning. The room and facilities were excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend the House as the perfect stop for an overnight stay. I will be back!

For an immersive and moving experience in an authentic museum which speaks to humanity in the face of the horrors of war, there is no-where better. Visit the museum, enjoy the garden and sleep peacefully in the guesthouse. It might change your view of what’s important in life.

When you walk through te house, it's as if Tubby still wanders around. The peace and calm is overwhelming; I'm happy to know that we're coming back with our family : children and grand children. This is a place we should cherish, in memory of all those soldiers, human beings that got some rest during a very small time before going back to the trenches... Who knows if they would ever come back ....
