The room was well equipped and comfortable. Breakfast, dinner and wine was excellent. Staff were friendly and approachable and it was lovely to chat to the manager during dinner. Returning guests were able to take advantage of a discount. For a single female, I felt safe.

I thought the breakfast was much better than I thought it would be, was very pleased with it.

The staff were very adaptable to my disability needs and our room, on the ground
floor was ideal. Breakfast was very good.

From the friendly staff on arrival to the outstanding food, everything from this stay exceeded my expectations.
The building is incredibly charming and then when you go into the rear garden you’re welcomed by a flock of feathered friends.
The restaurant served me one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time, partnered with a local beer 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.

Perfect location, situated in the centre of Taunton. Emma was so helpful, she made sure our room was ready on time and her communication was excellent.

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 .
Friendly staff, good access to restaurant, cafe and bars, including a garden set up for refreshements/ dining.
Nice comfortable en-suite room. Lift if required. Fan in room.
Right in the middle of Taunton, a nice town, plenty of shops. I watched a steel band 😁
There is a great modern museum just past the garden in the grounds, with a lovely coffee shop and seating outside. Plus an small ancient house. If you are lucky there is a lady in costume who will tell you all about it.
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.
Nice gardens, excellent food, friendly staff, poor bed, good bathroom.
The hotel seemed a little pricier than justified in terms of room quality.
I also booked because the hotel states that it has an EV charger. It does but it's worse than useless charging at a mere 6kw and inaccessible due to bad parking so I spent most of my stay in Taunton searching for a fast charger rather than at the hotel itself.
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.
The overall appearance of the Hotel (both inside and out) was very good. My Room was bigger than most for a similar price. The Bed was comfortable and the Shower and Cubicle were also good, except for the shower head slipping down the vertical pole, meaning I had to duck down to wash my hair ! There is Free Car Parking at the front of the Hotel.
Really lovely property with beautifully decorated rooms and a stunning luxury bathroom. Ideal placement for Taunton town centre and for the hospital (staying for work). Paul and Sharon were wonderful hosts and so so accommodating, showing true care looking after me between gruelling night shifts. Thank you so much both, see you again soon.
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.
The hotel was in a great location . 5 minute to drive into town centre. Breakfast was excellent and was topped up regularly. The staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Cleanliness was second to none. Overall top hotel .
The room was really nice, clean and well furnished. The owners and staff were very nice, extremely helpful and made us feel at home. Great value as well compared to what else you would get in Taunton for not much less.
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.
Very nice stay. The staff were very friendly and kind. The hotel is perfectly placed for a visit to Taunton. Our room was quiet and very clean. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Breakfast excellent. Good service.
Room clean and tidy.
Ideal stopover after the cricket and convenient for town centre.
Able to leave car prior to nominal check in.
