Clean with good services. Great and simple breakfast! Key-holder …a bit huge for keeping.

This is a very British-style hotel, located just across the road from Taunton train station, but it's not noisy. Although it has a long history, it has been painted and protected extremely well. The breakfast is English-style, the portions are generous, and I personally like the taste. However, it is an old house after all, there is no elevator, and it is very inconvenient to have a lot of luggage. Moreover, faucets and showers are difficult to adjust, and the water temperature may be hot! However, the heating is really good, but it is also hot. The lady serving here is very beautiful and patient.

There is no hair dryer and the washbasin is only as big as a palm, making it impossible to wash clothes. My back hurt when I slept on the mattress. I couldn't return it, so I stopped staying here and moved to another hotel.

Well presented accommodation and facilities. Very good breakfast. Easy access to Taunton center and directly opposite railway station. Free parking on site. Comfortable bedroom.

Room/bed good size and very comfortable. Happy not to have fridge in each room to save power but would be good to have access to communal fridge storage of milk and water for tea coffee making in room as having shared bar/night porter/reception person makes service level lower. Disappointed that the breakfast options had been reduced since last year.

Fabulous, friendly staff. Stored our bags prior to check-in and then kindly carried them up to our room...which was huge. Well appointed and directly across from the train station. Location couldn't be better. Did I mention the friendly staff? 🙂

The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel felt deserted, reception not visible through the main door from the carpark. The carpets on the stairs and in the bedroom had seen better days. It felt more like a motel than a hotel

We knew there was no dining room, so we were prepared for that and I haven’t reduced the star rating. Everyone at the hotel was very welcoming and helpful, and small touches like fresh milk and a cafetière in the rooms enhanced the experience. The rooms were splendid with interesting decor and very comfortable. We stopped here for an overnight stay en route to Cornwall. I will definitely book here again for any future trips
