10/10 Exceptional

The vegan breakfast options were extensive, the staff were so helpful and kind to us. The room was super clean and the building itself felt magical. We ended up walking around the area and finding nice shops and cafe's as well as the market on Saturday.

Lovely stay in charming Taunton

I stayed here while excessively jet lagged and booked the Mendip suite for extra comfort. The hotel was very comfortable and very well appointed. The staff were friendly and courteous, the bathroom spacious and clean, and the breakfast was superb (especially nice to see Black Pudding on the menu!). Would very much recommend for anyone looking to spend a night or two in the charming town of Taunton. For anyone looking for a decent pub nearby, the Ring of Bells was excellent.

Beautiful hotel. Historic and stylish. Staff were lovely and incredibly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, Taunton was very loud and noisy for a Tuesday night!

Amazing staff…..

Fantastic building! Perfect location. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Just some rooms are in need of a little TLC so it depends which of the rooms you stay in. The room we stayed in just needed updating but the bed was so comfortable and a very good night sleep was had!!

Business stay at Castle Hotel

Lovely comfortable hotel with parking right in town centre. All hotels now charge for their parking so I expected this. Staff were very friendly and yet professional. Room very comfortable and breakfast was excellent.

Special Christmas

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.
Sally, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

everything was beautifully presented and comfortable. A couple of tiny irritations such as the inability to control the temperature in the room.
cynthia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A most relaxed and enjoyable stay.

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.
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had such a wonderful stay at the castle hotel. The only feedback was the receptionist on check out wasn’t as friendly as the lady that had checked us in. She appeared to be confused with the communication around breakfast timings. Over all it was a wonderful stay, in the perfect location and it’s such a beautiful hotel
Nicola, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and well equipped apart from plug points Most of the plugs were round pin and not compatible with modern plugs Updating to include PowerPoints near the bedside tables would be ideal Lovely breakfast with excellent Eggs Royald
janette, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The most stunning exterior, and there were lots of nice staff, who did try earnestly to help when I shared my concerns. The hotel was clean and our room was a really good size. The website shows beautifully decorated luxurious looking rooms, however the hallways and our room clearly have not been touched (since the 80s I’d think) and there is bit of a musty smell - which you’d forgive in the original part of the castle. With a revamp it would be amazing, but sadly they are oh so tired - it must be so tough in today’s economy. Perhaps a didfernent price point for revamped rooms might help? Awful and painful grip tape inside the bath was the worst thing (a less than relaxing soak in the morning). Overall it is just not as advertised on the website and the prices felt high considering this. Very poor quality breakfasts, especially the sausages and eggs royal. Don’t bother with the travel cot, it’s hard as nails. Rather a strongly worded welcome to Somerset in the guest handbook was definitely worth a read though! Didn’t want to take pictures to be honest.
