Talbot Hotel , 2 star - It is said that the ghost of Mary Queen of Scots haunts the Talbot Hotel. The oak staircase where she walked to her execution was brought from the ruins of Fotheringhay Castle. The hotel's oak beams, open fires and transomed windows all recall the glorious Elizabethan age are now combined with all the comforts modern day living can provide. A cosy bar and intimate restaurant offer real ales, fine wines and traditional British fare. *
