Only one small croissant very small choice. Toaster was useless. I gave up with it, Better of choice of breads and pasteries,
I was also disappointed by the very poor Dinner menu, it was more like poor Pub menu not a top class hotel as it used to be. However I last stayed at the Castle 60 Years ago.
The Suite was wonderful. More toiletries would have been nice.

Looks stunning and great central location for Taunton
Very expensive for size of room plus had to pay extra for parking. TV was very hard to work out. Very limited coffee supplies and had to request milk which was only UHT longlife mini cartons anyway

The room was very comfy.
Couldn't get any TV channels, as we had to have a sign in.
The shower could have more pressure.

The building, the wisteria, history and central location in taunton was brilliant. The staff were attentive, kind and helpful. Spotlessly clean.
Small tweaks would elevate the experience. A nespresso machine in each room v packet coffee for instance.
Some spare amenities on reception for guests for example who forget their toothbrush (like me), for the price you would have hoped that could have been resolved easily and helpfully.
The breakfast was okay, nothing special for the £17 charge (better options up the road at The Boston Tea Party for the price)

I booked this hotel due to the location close to The Cosy Club where I was attending a party. The hotel is a very nice old style hotel. The room was lovely and the staff were very helpful. The car park at the front would be very useful but I got a lift in. 😁 Oh, and the sausages at breakfast were the best I've had in a long time.
Everything was very nice.

I liked the history of the place. Comfortable room with quality furniture in good condition. Lovely public rooms. The restaurant was being refurbished during our visit. Breakfast was excellent.
We had a standard room which was smaller than anticipated with a double bed rather than a king size. We would opt for a superior room next time but the bed was comfortable.

Great location and comfortable room
I chose this hotel for its location and its restaurant, having checked the menu online I had arranged to meet my son there to eat.
On checking in I was informed the restaurant was shut all week for renovations. They had intended informing everyone who was booked during that time but had not done so.
The rooms have little sound proofing and my neighbours talked at full voice well into the night.

Quintessentially English, grand old hotel with spacious and comfortable suites.
Frustrating shower-gel and shampoo dispensers. Minor thing but annoying nonetheless.

Good location for me with car park, my room was average.
There was not a good restaurant, just a cafe type environment or meals at the bar, for such a hotel I expected much better.

Size of room and furnishings. Excellent breakfast. Excellent lounge facility. This is something that is becoming less common it hotels. We like a lounge rather than being confined to a bedroom.
End of October and our room was cold. The central heating was off and we were provided with an electric connector heater, which was off when we arrived. It took quite a while to warm the room.
Car parking as an extra charge when already paying a good price for the accommodation.

Easy parking, large individual rooms, good breakfast choice
Lot of outside noise & windows are, by the nature of the property, single glazed.

The staff were fabulous. Lovely old building, lovely staircase. We had a deluxe suite which was wonderful with a lovely window seat. Bed very comfy. Everywhere spotless. Breakfast was nice, lots of healthy fruit and cereals as well as hot meals.
Not enough power sockets. The lamps have plugs with old fashioned tiny sockets which are great, but they need to add a lot more modern sockets, especially by the bed. There is no magnifying mirror. The shower was extremely stiff. They sprayed it with WD40 and are fixing it after the weekend. This should have been picked up before.
The breakfast/bar is not in keeping with the rest of the hotel and the reception area needs updating.

The hotel is in an excellent location and very presentable.
Was disappointed with the restaurant because we booked a table in advance of our trip only to discover the menu was not the same as on the website. We were told it had changed recently but then the hotel needs to change that on the website or notify the guests because we struggled to find an alternative place to eat.
We were also surprised to discover that parking is changed at over £10 which isn't clear when booking.

6.0 / 10.0
Staff were super friendly. Location very central. The hotel is a little tired and needs upgrading. Our bathroom was very much in need of an upgrade as were the electrics in the room (more sockets /bedside USB would have been welcomed). Breakfast was fine. Overall it was a good experience and had a certain charm but the things that matter to most guests (shower/plug sockets/pillows) need a bit of investment. I’d stay again though - there was nothing bad here.
Bathroom needed an upgrade. Blue velvet armchairs in the room were straight from the 1970s which had a certain charm and would have been forgivable had they not been so uncomfortable.

The building in itself is quite impressive as it is an old castle and the facade overgrown with wisteria is beautiful.
The staff were very helpful.
The place could use some refreshing.The carpet has definitely seen better days and this impression is woven throughout the hotel.The place could be beautiful and its history would be much better showcased if it were modernised.
