Staff helpful and polite; breakfast well presented and good quality with a lovely range of choices. We had dinner at the restaurant - liked the ambience and the offerings on the menu; we both chose something we enjoyed and the quality of food was high at a reasonable price; it was a real bonus not to have to go somewhere else when the hotel restaurant is probably among the best places to eat in Taunton.
Just off junction 25 of the M5, this contemporary hotel combines good value, modern accommodation and friendly service with a convenient location for exploring Taunton and Somerset.
Set in Taunton, 36 km from Dunster Castle, The Great Western Hotel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar.

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.
Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Royal Ashton Townhouse - Taunton is set in Taunton, 250 metres from Taunton train station. Every room is equipped with a TV.

Location only. The hotel was the worse place I have ever stayed.
On average, 3-star hotels in Taunton cost £72 per night, and 4-star hotels in Taunton are £110 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Taunton can on average be found for £127 per night (based on Booking.com prices).

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 .
The owner was very nice and chatty and very knowledgeable about the area. It is very close to Taunton itself. It was very quiet outside and we slept very well. Breakfast was delicious and well received. Nothing was too much trouble. Room and Hotel had an oldy worldly feel but we really liked that and our en-suite was very modern and had a good pump for the shower.
We will certainly stay again if in that area.
The Castle Hotel is located central in Taunton near a beautiful park for a morning stroll and several classy pubs within a few steps of walking. Our room was spacious and luxury with a beautiful bathroom. The breakfast is one of the best that I have had anywhere and we had an extremely tasty evening meal there too although it took a long time to be served.
There wasn't a breakfast option and the room was quite stuffy, due to the combination of very hot weather and a poor quality Aircon unit. No decaf hot drink sachets was slightly disappointing but staff were friendly; hotel is in a perfect position close to the station and cricket ground and it's good value for a single night stay to watch a Somerset match!
We booked this for an out of area trainer for our staff/business.
HE REPORTS: The whole stay was great. Ideally located for the town centre and a MUCH better standard than the nearly B&B he stayed in last time he stayed at last time. Hotel clean and well equipped and staff were helpful and friendly.
The hotel is very well located a very short walk from the town centre. Ample free parking on-site. Small room but comfortable bed and separate shower in bathroom. Breakfast opened at 7.30 and was quick and efficient. Definitely very good value for money.
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!!
The room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean.
The breakfast was excellent with good choices.
The staff were attentive and courteous.
The location was perfect for getting into Taunton quickly.
Central location, available car parking outside hotel, friendly and cheerful staff, comfortable room, atmospheric restaurant with good service and delicious food choices, ease of access to high street.
Nice hotel, my room was comfortable and clean, full English breakfast was good, hotel is in a great location for the town centre. I would highly recommend the Taunton House Hotel.
Lovely little country house hotel in beautiful grounds in a very quiet village about 15 minutes from Taunton. The staff were charming and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
