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.

Historic town with a Heritage walking trail that takes in a lot of the attractive town with its numerous attractive floral displays including those around The Market House which originally housed the Guildhall and Assembly Rooms, now houses the Visitors centre. There are old shopping arcades, plus a nice variety of independent shops and National Chain stores. We especially liked the open landscape area around the Castle ruins which houses the small museum and the ooshort walk along beside the river.
Booked it late as we was staying elsewhere didn't like it
The lady on reception was lovely and very helpful
It's a basic hotel no bar or restaurant but it was near to my son that lives in taunton so for me location was what I wanted couldn't fault it as it was next to services you can get food in there. And sit at the tables they have there so that was also good
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 had a lovely overnight stay at the property just outside Taunton. The owners are considerate in all aspects. From plates and cutlery to allow you to eat a takeaway in your room to milk in the fridge for tea and coffee.
The breakfast was superb - I had a light one as I had overindulged for the rest of the holiday but what I had was fresh and excelent.
Excellent breakfast - certainly didn't need any lunches during my stay.
I was at Taunton for the cricket - the ground is a very pleasant 30 minute walk from the hotel.
Nice lounge for relaxing (and a patio area).
I often don't sleep too well when away but on my first night (which was very warm) I slept for 7 hours! Amazing!
The room and bathroom we're exceptionally large for a Europran hotel.. The windows were large, they opened easily and my room faced a pleasant garden.the room had a nice selection of tea and coffee. Fresh milk and water were provided. The sandwich I ordered from the deli was delicious.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The location of hotel to transport and it was an easy walk into the town centre.
Nickie was lovely friendly person and went out of her way to provide great customer care. Thanks Nickie for trying to get the TV to work on Saturday evening. We will be back to stay again.
We’ll run, local pub and hotel. Excellent accommodation and food, and at a very good price. A nice welcome from the staff, and they accommodated our lack of booking for dinner very quickly. They made our stay in Taunton.
After my house was flooded out the Taunton House Hotel has become my other home for a period. The staff are all exceptional and have made me very welcome during a personally challenging time. Many thanks 😊
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.
A lot of thought had been put into the decor. The hosts were responsive when there was a problem. The location was pretty good - 20 mins walk to Taunton Town Centre.
