The castle at Taunton is a rather special place as far as I'm concerned. When I arrived here in my taxi I was convinced I was in the wrong place as the building indicated a rather more luxurious place than what I normally stay in as a business traveller. It seems to have been part of Taunton's medieval castle and... More

On Saturday 11 May 2013 I arranged for 41 Churchill Fellows and guests to visit Taunton for a visit to the excellent Museum of Somerset with a buffet lunch at The Castle Hotel in the Garden Room. The hotel staff were all most welcoming and the Garden Room was beautifully set out with complimentary bottles of water. The buffet meal... More

We just had cocktails in the lovely bar and two for one so absolutely excellent value for money. Ate in Brazz afterwards - had dinner here last May and gave a poor review, however, on this visit we found the food and service really good. Juicy steaks and tender salmon. We would go again.

We had a wonderful wedding reception at The Castle recently. The food was excellent and the staff really helpful. All of our requests and wishes were carried out perfectly. We also stayed in one of the rooms overlooking the garden. The room was really nice. It was large, clean and had a dressing area and en suite bathroom.

Having booked our accommodation on line, at a bargain price, we were not expecting too much, but on arrival found the staff pleasant and the room clean and well proportioned with an extra large bed. Although the Bar and Grill restaurant was closed we had dinner in the Brazz bistro. The meal was splendid, using fresh ingredients, nicely presented by... More

The castle is nice. It's got really good staff. And if I was there as a couple I'm sure it'd get 4 stars. If you hate modern "chunk of business hotel" places you'll really like the castle. If you want a sound proof room, and a value breakfast. You'll not like the castle. It suffers from old building that no... More

I was trawling for a hotel in Taunton and the best one on offer seemed to be The Castle. I was aware that this hotel had a great reputation for comfort and cuisine, so, I went ahead and booked it. To my surprise they were offering a 'deal' of two nights with breakfast plus a voucher for £50 in the... More

We booked as part of a special offer and everything exceeded our expectations. On arrival we were upgraded to a complimentary Garden Room, which gave us (as a family) much more space. We ate at the BRAZZ on our first evening and could not fault the food. The staff in the hotel and restaurant were very friendly. Hotel has its... More

8 of us stayed here to celebrate a sliver wedding. The staff were superb friendly and attentive but with just the right balance. The Castle has a lot of lovely old charm and is very comfortable and the snugs are great for a family get together. The food in the brassier was excellent , reasonably priced with fresh locally sourced... More
