The Castle at Taunton

Stopped overnight during a trip to Somerset It was fine for one night - but a lot of steps and no lift.

We had afternoon tea at the Hotel. I booked it for my friend's birthday. The service was excellent as was the choice of finger sandwiches, scones and cakes. I ordered vegetarian/gluten free afternoon tea which was one of the best teas I have had.

Had afternoon tea in the castle Hotel . Very disappointed with the poor service waited around 5 minutes for front of house to appear for us to check in . Eventually shown into the lounge for afternoon tea and waited an age to order and our food eventually came out after approximately 20 minute wait .Food was lovely but service extremely poor for a four star hotel .

Fantastic building! Perfect location. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Just some rooms are in need of a little TLC so it depends which of the rooms you stay in. The room we stayed in just needed updating but the bed was so comfortable and a very good night sleep was had!!

Beautiful hotel. Historic and stylish. Staff were lovely and incredibly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, Taunton was very loud and noisy for a Tuesday night!

Large traditional hotel. Room was spacious but cold, bathroom was even colder. Food in Brazz was very average in a huge soulless room.

An atmospheric hotel, well managed and maintained. Excellent breakfast buffet

The hotel is past it's best, tired and shabby. The dining options are v limited only a brasserie / bar. Service is underwhelming, staff have generally low levels of enthusiasm and not v welcoming. Parking is expensive. We had asked for a menu before coming to the property and got no response. We were not informed we had breakfast included. This was an anniversary event and was far below expectations for the price paid. Would not come here again

This hotel is absolutely lovely, spacious, and clean. Breakfast is first class with high-quality produce. Staff are friendly and helpful, on site electric car charging points, that even i could use. Located directly in the town centre. You couldn't ask for anything better.

My wife and I stayed for three days. The hotel has a fascinating history and is privately owned. The decor is delightful and the bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast in the Brazzo but did not dine in the hotel. The Reception staff were very helpful and everyone was courteous throughout. Would we stay there again. Certainly 4 to 5 star comfort.
