We stayed at this hotel in 2007 and had a good stay. Therefore when we were passing through this area of the country again recently we decided to stop off there again. Unfortunately our stay this time was far from ideal and we will not be returning! The main reasons for this are: ~The closure of the main restaurant is... More

Situated right in the town centre, but its not noisy. Small free carpark but plenty of staff to help you park and move your bags to your room. Its a real castle and the character seeps through. The room was OK, it had a bath, it was warm and was quiet. However, the small single bed had an arrangement of... More

My husband treated me to an overnight stay at The Castle. The building itself is an absolute stunner and is situated right in the middle of the town, near some great pubs, restaurants and the excellent Museum of Somerset. The staff at reception were all really friendly and helpful. All I would say is that the hotel owners are really... More

I do in fact live only 9 miles from Taunton but decided to stay in town and have a few drinks one night. So I checked my Booking.com app on my iPhone and saw a single room that night for £63. I went into the hotel and the [rather abrupt] receptionist said that she would honour that rate, which felt... More

I stayed here with a group of friends, celebrating a reunion. The welcome was splendid, e.g. as the car park is small and I had to leave the car in front of the garage, one of the staff offered to park it correctly for me when a space came available - properly done and no problems. NB: being able to... More

A real 'character' hotel which is quite unusual for a centrally located four-star. Quite a different experience from a bland chain. The double rooms are very spacious and well fitted out. Everything was very clean and in good working order. One of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. The car park is small but free. Staff were friendly and... More

I can imagine that young folk used to staying at chain hotels probably don't find the Castle to their taste and yes it's lost its excellent hotel restaurant and yes the car park is not very good and yes the single rooms are quite small. However it can still show the hotel chains a thing or two when it comes... More

Back in the days of Garry Rhodes and then Phil Vickery this was the place to eat around Taunton. But now I find it all has disappeared The Garden suite was still lovely but has not been looked after or updated. The food in the Brazz was poor and very uncomfortable both cramped and noisy. Trying to get a drink... More

Stayed for 1 night on a Groupon voucher with a friend as wanted to treat her as she had had a very trying year. Lovely greeting on arrival and easy booking in service. Had plenty of interaction with the Receptionist on duty most of day and night and must say she was an absolute star (an asset to the hotel).... More
