Travelodge Hotel - Taunton

"We have stayed in this hotel while visiting family in the area, its all been fine until this visit. Hotel is indeed being used to house homless people who were outside hotel smoking drinking & making alot of noise. This travelodge is no longer a hotel its a hostel for the homeless. We will not be staying here again."

The Old Dairy at Bishops Barton

"This is a 3/5 experience for us. The rooms are ok, nothing more (at least for the family room). Most importantly, we felt like you don’t get the “warm and fuzzy” feeling as with other B&Bs, and “abundance” is not a word to describe the experience of staying here. Almost every question we asked (i counted four) was met with a conditioned/hesitant (rather than generous and warm) response. The breakfast was also strange. A lot of what you usually would expect is “on request” to “reduce waste”. You want toast, you’ll get a slice to share between two. You want orange juice, it will come out in a small glass. You want yoghurt and fruit for the kids, you will get 1 strawberry cut in half, three small pieces of banana, and two teaspoons of yoghurt. To the point where for some, they will leave hungry and feel embarrassed to ask for more (like us!). We only noticed the difference after we stayed at a few B&Bs afterwards and realised it wasn’t in our head. There’s nothing wrong with the place, but for what you pay, it really isn’t great value, and as noted, you don’t leave with the “warm and fuzzy” feeling of other B&Bs. But if you have no where booked to go and on short notice, it’s a safe and not so bad option for a functional stay."

Train Station Cottage Taunton - Walk to town, pet friendly!

Lovely cabin with country views in popular Somerset village.

The Barn

The Carew Arms

"Stayed following a wedding in the village and as the only pub, were limited in our choice. Arrived later and the pub was busy and welcoming. Our spaciousness room with en-suite overlooked the road but as the village is small and rural, there was no road noise over night. Lovely cooked breakfast served till 11 so no need to rush after a later night."

The Mill

Greenham Hall

"I love an English occupier run B&B and Greenham Hall did not disappoint. The welcome was so warm, the property is stunning, beds comfy, rooms spacious, curtains when closed block out the light. Breakfast was delicious, especially the home made damson jam. We enjoyed the fresh coffee and orange juice. The hostess Caro gives a very warm welcome and was very hospitable, flexible and also an interesting and accomplished woman. It is also very reasonably priced. We would love to return when we are next in the area."
