Steeped in the drama and romance of English history, The Castle at Taunton has been welcoming travelers to southwest England since the 12th century. This former Norman fortress in Taunton offers delightful garden suites overlooking ancient walled gardens and elegant guestrooms adorned with oak furniture, rich tapestries and original oil paintings. The hotel's Michelin-starred dining room, helmed by Chef Richard Guest, features innovative British cuisine and is sublimely complemented by the contemporary Brazz brasserie.

This hotel is absolutely lovely, spacious, and clean. Breakfast is first class with high-quality produce. Staff are friendly and helpful, on site electric car charging points, that even i could use. Located directly in the town centre. You couldn't ask for anything better.

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.

Castle at Taunton: Good food, excellent service and a large garden suite all set in a comfortable castle in the centre of town. Highly recommended.
