I stayed in a small single person room. Exactly as advertised and perfect for my needs. Staff noticed I was walking with a stick and offered me an equivalent room that was less of a walk if I needed it ( I was fine). Staff very friendly, professional and helpful with every interaction. Being able to leave my bag when I was going off to work was really helpful too.

The environs were better than the centre although the churches and Museum are worth a visit. Traffic heavy in places and most streets not pedestrianised. I would recommend 'Augustus' for a special meal (Michelin starred). Most other restaurants very unspectacular. Brasserie meal in the 'Castle Hotel' disappointing.
My favourite places are the Quantocks, The West Somerset Railway and Hestercombe Gardens.

Taxi overcharged me on the motorway route after being told it was £25 I got charged £34. He would only take one route that I thought was cheaper. I tried calling him the next day due to no public bus services available. No response. Claimed he arrived fromRomania in 2003. An English person from Taunton Taxis helped me out the next day with an awesomely cheaper rate, and showed me how to get to the basic bus route. Brilliant service from Taunton Taxis. Would highly recommend them but you have to phone as they are not allowed to sit in aTaxi rank apparently, where the expensive guy was....??
Some people here do not know where things are. Bus services do not run on Sundays if you are a traveller, tourist, worker etc.
Prior experience here I was left to sleep in the street, no offer to provide a place to sleep, had a food poisoned experience by local street van vendor, not seen here on revisit where public toilets were intentionally closed and Male urinals open. I am a woman!
Bag of personal belongings stolen from the local library, taken into custody via police where items were returned after it being opened. This was bag with clothes, research books and personal property linking to identity and legal documents were accessed. That was with CCTV.

We came for the County Classics Car Museum which has recently opened. Lots of shiny cars and motorbikes, friendly staff. We also went for a couple of walks close by - one at Ilminster and one at Castle Naroche. We stayed at the Corner Hotel. The meal in their restaurnat (pre-book) was excellent.

Taunton is a nice unusual town with lots of different shops.
Taunton is a nice unusual town with lots of different shops. It is near to the River Tonne and has a museum( although I didn't get a chance to visit on this occasion) It is very close to the cricket ground and has 2 beautiful churches. Nearby there is a nice park called Vivary Park. There are two Park and Rides called Silk Mills and Gateway and the bus runs between the two. It only costs £2 return and you park in the Park and Ride car park for free. The cattle market is no longer held in the town, though.

We went for a live band rock n roll event in the Lawns club it was brilliant they have live music events often.
Lovely walk in the park it has a lovely children's play area with Cafe and outdoor climbing ropes / crazy golf lots to do .
Nice gardens, excellent food, friendly staff, poor bed, good bathroom.
The hotel seemed a little pricier than justified in terms of room quality.
I also booked because the hotel states that it has an EV charger. It does but it's worse than useless charging at a mere 6kw and inaccessible due to bad parking so I spent most of my stay in Taunton searching for a fast charger rather than at the hotel itself.
Lovely hotel and nice room in a quiet location. Friendly staff too! The location was perfect! It is directly opposite the train station and also ideal if you have a car as it's free parking! The castle, museums, the park and shops are a short walk away and everything else is nearby too including the Brewhouse theatre and arts centre. Great place! If i return to Taunton i hope stay here!
The hotel looks very beautiful from outside the reception area as well. The reception staff were very friendly and apologetic when I spoke to them regarding issues during our stay. Taunton Town centre is amazing for shopping and we enjoyed visiting surrounding areas, however, if we visit Taunton again we will be looking for alternative accommodation.
The room and bathroom we're exceptionally large for a Europran hotel.. The windows were large, they opened easily and my room faced a pleasant garden.the room had a nice selection of tea and coffee. Fresh milk and water were provided. The sandwich I ordered from the deli was delicious.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic accommodation. Very spacious, wonderfully decorated, with all facilities and equipment needed. Great location near to the station and town centre, with plenty nearby. Great communication and instructions from staff throughout the process. Will definitely be back when next in the area.
Food both for breakfast and dinner were very good and a good price.
Rooms were comfortable and surprisingly quiet considering location in Taunton (or at least ours was).
Very lovely building.
Lovely little country house hotel in beautiful grounds in a very quiet village about 15 minutes from Taunton. The staff were charming and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
