I booked a deluxe double room for just one night. We were very happy with our room, which was spacious, clean and well appointed. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows.
The welcome from Reception was warm and friendly.
There is parking at the hotel but this is run by NCP and costs just under £10 for a 24 hour stay. Payment is via an APP so I suggest installing that on your phone before you arrive. There is not the option to pay by cash or card at the machine.
The hotel itself is very charming, with individually decorated bedrooms and a host of period features and furniture in the public rooms. We were meeting my son for dinner in a nearby restaurant for dinner so cannot comment on the Dining Room and we opted out of breakfast as we had an early lunch arranged. We did enjoy some cocktails in Brazz, where the service and quality of the drinks were appreciated.

Had an amazing stay at this beautiful hotel, the room was outstanding and will be sure to come back again, I was met at the reception by a lovely girl named Hollie who made this experience even better. Such a great hotel, right in the heart of Taunton

Not good - tepid HOT water and shower didnt work - smelly room. I love the fact that its historic and realise that is why there is no double glazing. The 'antique' bathroom fittings would have been nice if the taps had turned so you got more than a dribble of water & if the shower had worked. This not working meant we had to have a bath but no HOT water - just tepid - not good. The the plug chain came off the plug - with no glasses near how the get the plug out ??? Oh dear. (we had been up at 5am hence too tired to do anything but manage and get into bed!) Then into the cold room which was because we had had to open the window to get rid of the smell. A small but adequate room but 4 sachets of thin UHT milk for 2 of us - certainly no nespresso or such machine - just a kettle, 4 sachets coffee, 4 tea bags. I found the bed small but comfortable. There was a noisy skateboader outside early in the evening n the echoing public courtyard so if you want a quiet room make sure you ask for it. It was not too noisy for us. Great fun watchign the pigeons eating the wisteria flower buds - it was just starting to come out when we arrived. Breakfast room decor grim but staff lovely and I found the food very good - for our taste. Pity about demanding my credit card twice and a ghastly room - I wont be back !

My hubby & I stayed at the hotel for our anniversary recently and all I can say is what a wonderful and beautiful building…the staff also make this place just perfect. We were greeted by a lovely hand written anniversary card ( a lovely personal touch ) along with a beautiful, fresh and comfy room! We dined in the brazz restaurant for our dinner and it was delicious and fairly priced, with cocktails flowing and beautiful tasteful food we had a lovely evening and can’t thank Molly enough for her lovely hospitality. We have never been here before but certainly will be returning it was great, the atmosphere was lush. Overall such a nice getaway and we certainly will be returning here, all the staff were commendable and really hard working and the building well, that certainly speaks for it self!

I remember when this was a charming and rather classy hotel. Sadly, it seems this is no longer the case, owing it seems to a lack of investment in the decor and furnishings. The restaurant is large and soulless. The chairs were stained which is unforgivable in a supposedly high end restaurant. I had duck which was spoiled by being served in lentils soaked in a far too heavy red wine sauce. My wife and friend fared better with pleasant sea bass. The rooms were large and comfortable, but again the furniture was tired. We couldn’t get the hot tap to produce anything, but tepid water. We didn’t get any sleep until gone 3am due to loud music and shouting and squealing. It wasn’t coming from the hotel so not their fault, but the management need to have words with the originators of this din, ( a local nightclub?) especially if it’s a regular occurrence. Guests, including ourselves, won’t return if they think they’ll be kept awake much of the night. Breakfast was lukewarm and what full English doesn’t include baked beans?!? The one saving grace was the staff. Without exception they were friendly, helpful and efficient.

I received a Black Friday voucher for an afternoon tea for my birthday and have just tried to book to use it by 29 th March to be told they are fully booked and can’t fit me in as everyone has wanted to use their voucher this month ! So therefore I have to miss out along with lots of other people who chose to wait till March , I asked to pay the difference to use it at the weekend or extend the date but was told no it’s not our fault , terrible customer service , I hope too many other people haven’t lost out , this is great way for the castle to get money for nothing. Very disappointed.

Christmas is always particularly special at the Castle with staff having made a very special effort to make it even more special than usual. It makes an excellent place to stay, right in the middle of Taunton, for shopping with those special independent traders you won’t find elsewhere.

We had a most enjoyable stay. The friendliness of the staff was exceptional. They went to a lot of trouble to find us an alternative place for dinner as they were fully booked. Also they checked our trains to make sure they were still running without being asked. This was beyond expectations. The breakfast was great. Plenty of choice and a relaxed atmosphere.
