Very comfy bed, liked the room furniture style. Had a dog with us, so having a lift was essential. Very good breakfast and very helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Easily accessed with good parking off road.
Very clean room, even though rather quirky in terms of out of room facilities, not en-suite.
An excellent Thai restaurant within the pub building, with great menu and well laid out seating. Excellent staff team 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 .
We had a lovely overnight stay at the property just outside Taunton. The owners are considerate in all aspects. From plates and cutlery to allow you to eat a takeaway in your room to milk in the fridge for tea and coffee.
The breakfast was superb - I had a light one as I had overindulged for the rest of the holiday but what I had was fresh and excelent.
Well located opposite the train station and near the town centre. Very nicely refurbished former railway hotel.Rooms are clean and spacious with good facilities and retain some nice features from it's railway heritage. Staff were all welcoming and efficient. Breakfast was very good and plentiful with good service.
After traveling for over 24 hours, the welcome we got was amazing. Such lovely people and a lovely home, we had our own space but felt like we were being welcomed it a family home.
Location was great for us, we were visiting family in Taunton and could walk off the main road from No.2 to their place.
Our room was lovely - clean, tidy and had all the amenities we needed. We had a lovely breakfast served the morning of our departure. Perfect location - quiet at night, and an easy drive (15 min) through country lanes to Taunton town centre!!
We’ll run, local pub and hotel. Excellent accommodation and food, and at a very good price. A nice welcome from the staff, and they accommodated our lack of booking for dinner very quickly. They made our stay in Taunton.
Helpful friendly staff and the room was comfortable and clean. Very convenient location for the M5's Junction 25 but therefore not quite so convenient for Taunton town centre.
A lot of thought had been put into the decor. The hosts were responsive when there was a problem. The location was pretty good - 20 mins walk to Taunton Town Centre.
