This is a wonderful unique place to stay. The guest rooms are funky, the art in the hallway very interesting and fun, and the help we got from Jerry planning where to go and how to get there was perfect. I cannot add to what others have said! All great reviews. We really appreciated the granola bars and coffee. Close... More

This is a hidden jewel. Sandy and Tom are great hosts. They make you feel like family. Enjoyed the kitchen stocking of basic breakfast goodies. Very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Loved it!

Talbot Heirs is a wonderful place to stay in Memphis. The hosts, Tom and Sandy, made us feel very welcome. Great advice on what to do (including the free ride to Graceland from the Sun Studios bus) and where to eat. It is not your typical guesthouse. The rooms are more like efficiency apartments than rooms. They are spacious and... More

Unbelievably surprised by the Talbots Heirs.....This small doorway could lead to so much....Tom and Dandy are the ideal hosts...They know their city and the better attractions........The rooms are very warm beautifully appointed with big comfy beds and all the kitchen amenities including basic breakfast supplies. The TH is centrally located, 5 mins up the street to Beal St, around the... More

You would nearly give this place a five rating on the welcoming and helpful nature of Sandy and Tom, the owners. From the start they went out of their way to ensure that we knew how everything operated in the unit and gave recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The B&B is ideally located just a short... More

Just back from a multi city trip to the states and stayed in different types of accommodation and can say that the people at Talbot Heirs were the friendliest and most helpful we encountered. On arrival we were greeted in our rooms by Gerry who heard what we were hoping to do in town and promptly marked on the places... More

Walked into room and went fantastic! Rooms are very large, kitchens quite good and loved the juice/water/cereals/milk top ups everyday. Bed very comfortable thou squeaky, towels beautiful and soft. Decor is different but nice, made me feel like I was at a very nice home where I could relax. Was great to be able to use the washing machine and... More

I thought it would be an adventure to stay at a guesthouse instead of a hotel. I have been to bed-and-breakfasts and hotels, but not a guesthouse. I guess a guest house is just that- no quaint breakfast or guests like at a b&b, or nice lobby and services like at a hotel. Talbot Heirs is centrally located in Memphis,... More

You can't beat their location but the decor is really old, kinda late 80s early 90s, corian counters, bathroom tile needed resurfacing, bedding very clean but way out of style. I hear the people who run it are great but I never met them, my husband dealt with them but they were very hands off (which some people may like).... More

We were in Memphis for the first time in January celebrating a few milestone birthdays and wanted to stay somewhere special- with character and off the beaten path. This place worked out wonderfully! The accommodations were spacious and full of special touches from the edgy art to the super soft towels, exercise bike, food and comfy bed.... This is the... More
