The Talbot Hotel Tregaron
The Talbot Hotel in Tregaron Mid
Wales is an old drovers’ inn dating back to 13thc and its oak

privately owned and since 1983 Welsh speaking brother and
sister Graham Williams and Shan Rees have been the proprietors.
It has 2 bars, 15 bedrooms, a 50 cover restaurant and a function room seating 140. Well known for it's hospitality and excellent cuisine any type of function can be catered for. To the rear of the hotel is a large beer garden and the function room opens out onto a landscaped patio area - ideal for those important wedding photos!
The Talbot is situated on the square in Tregaron, Ceredigion – a small market town as famous for its warm Welsh welcome as it is for being the birthplace of Twm Sion Cati (the Welsh Robin Hood) and Henry Richard (one of the founding members of the United Nations). Just 18 miles from the coast, it is an ideal location for enjoying the beauty of the area, be it Cors Caron, Cardigan Bay or the Cambrian Mountains. Outdoor pursuits are the most popular attractions with birdwatching, walking, fishing, shooting and cycling well catered for.
Due to its location, The Talbot Hotel plays an important part in the community. Highlights of the year include Ffair Garon (a traditional fair held on Whit Monday), the 3 day August horse trotting extravaganza (August Bank Holiday) and Diwrnod y Porthmyn (a fundraising event held the beginning of November). It is also well known for its live entertainment (organised by local society Cambria Arts) with artists such as Paul Young, Albert Lee, Chris Jagger and the Welsh Meic Stevens, Heather Jones and Elin Fflur (to name but a few) having performed here on more than one occasion.
