The Castle at Taunton

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.

A ladies indulgence evening. This used to be a lovely busy event. Warm welcoming canapés offered throughout the evening. This sadly did not live up to previous years. The place was cold. One canapé each was offered. A small event marketed as a large event with lots going on. A very small cocktail demo that lasted 5 mins, not much happening at all. Sadly not worth the ticket price.

My friends had a beautiful wedding here yesterday, and as the contact point, I had close liason with David, Kieran and Laura throughout the day. They, and the staff, went above and beyond to ensure an absolutely perfect day. Wedding aside, the rooms themselves were fantastically spacious and each was unique which was a nice touch. The included breakfast was mindful and full of options. This business is generous in every sense of the word. Its been a fantastic experience and I want to thank everyone who made our experience unimaginably incredible.

We were initially booked into another hotel but were so disappointed with the room that we immediately checked out and chose The Castle, having dined there and enjoyed their BBQs in the past, though we had never stayed. The room was perfect, full of character. The staff were very friendly yet absolutely professional. The breakfasts are second to none. Location-wise, it's in the centre of Taunton—can't beat that. Not cheap, but definitely worth it for a couple of days.

Whilst the outside of the building is quite amazing to look at when you arrive, the internal decoration requires modernisation. I stayed in a single room for one night and it was clean and functional. Checkin and check out were both easy and all of staff encountered were friendly. The hotel advertise events and Christmas celebrations- see photos.
