Best Four Star Hotels in Taunton

We stayed at Blorenge House for three nights because our son was playing in a cricket festival nearby. Our party, made up of Mum (me), Dad, Grandad and six year old son (grandson) stayed in Apartment 2 (parents and son) and Room 11 (Grandad). We booked a room for Grandad in the hotel part of this lovely building because we thought he’d need the space. However, he could have easily fitted into the apartment which was luxurious and spacious with two bedrooms - main with what seemed like a super king size bed and second bedroom with twin beds - and two bathrooms. Furthermore there was a lovely relaxing sitting room that easily accommodated a dining table in the corner. Our apartment was “below stairs” but was as far removed from a dark basement as you could imagine. Rather, it was light and welcoming which may have been attributable, in part, to the tasteful decor and gorgeous soft furnishings. The stairs from our apartment led up to the garden area with with an outdoor swimming pool which six year old son (grandson) declared the best part of the three day break. It wasn’t particularly warm while we were there but the gardens catch the sun and it was nice to sit on the outdoor furniture dotted around the garden and adjacent to the apartment. I personally didn’t sample the breakfast as I wanted to maximise use of the self catering facilities but Dad/Grandad said it was excellent and had cereals/fruit/juice followed by full English (and hash browns) with beans/tomato etc and toast. They also appreciated the attentiveness of the lady serving breakfast but didn’t catch her name so sorry can’t name check her. All in all a lovely stay and if our son is lucky enough to be picked for the festival again next year we’ll be back.

Male at check in could not have been more miserable, uninviting and hated life more if he tried. After grunting his way through the booking and sliding a piece of paper to sign and then sliding the key to me I wasnt quite sure if we had finished the transaction as there was no guidance from himself. I said are we all done and as he grunted at me I assumed we were there so I left to find the room. The room was on the ground floor. Bathroom was grotty and the flush just poured out water for half an hour a time every time it was used. Bed was small. Room was dated. Phone was dirty and covered in whatever finger juice had congealed over many years. The carpet was threadbare. The room was an embarrassment to be fair. Went into the bar to get food. Asked for the tablet, the member of staff was busy swearing with the ”regulars” and I felt as though I was causing her problems but she obliged. Ordered a Magners via the tablet, an Astril was dumped on the bar. I left it as that wasnt my order, then was barked at by another woman that was my drink ”but she was too busy to bring it over”, granted there were 2 people at the bar at the time. I said I didnt order that, she told me I had, I assured her I hadnt, then lo and behold they apparently had no Magners so I took the Astril for ease. The food was a pizza which in reality was a burnt base with some mush chucked on. Horrible. Back to the room, good sleep. Breakfast in the morning. No knives, no beans. 2 members of staff having a yap, interrupted them and got what was needed, they went back to yapping. Check out the food and everything was sorted by the company. The receptionist told me it wasn't. I asked her to check as I knew it was, she said I have but I will check again. She told me no the company dont cover it. I assured her they do and this time showed her the booking. She called someone else over who told her to bill the company if thats what i wanted. I left and then they proceeded to moan about me not accepting that the booking was not including food so I had to return and have more of the same conversation. As a diamond elite member this hotel is an embarrassment to the brand. The staff are rude. The rooms are inadequate and dated and the check in and check out process is shambolic at best. Need to do better. Wont be staying there again.

A friend and I stayed at The Castle for a girls weekend away. It was a nice treat and perfectly located for exploring Taunton centre. Bars and restaurants just a stroll away. Staff were friendly. Parking was convenient. £10 for 24 hours. Room was clean but very expensive for what it was as we upgraded but it wasn't anything special.

Stayed here for a couple of nights with my husband. Great communication from Karen prior to arrival. We were greeted warmly on arrival, checked in smoothly and then shown to our room (Granary). The room was nicely furnished and the bed was extremely comfy. The bonus for me was the whirlpool bath, as I only have a shower at home, so a relaxing soak was very much appreciated! Karen was staggering breakfast times to ensure the dining room didn't get too crowded. Breakfast itself was fab, many options on offer including cereals, cooked breakfast, muffins, toast and even a Mexican omelette affair. Both Chris and Karen were extremely helpful and approachable, recommending a restaurant for our 2nd night's evening meal. Although the farmhouse is now surrounded by a housing estate, it has plenty of parking on site, a lovely garden and feels almost 'countrified'. Would definitely book again if we stay in the area in future.

The location is super! Opposite is a big supermarket! The hotel is very British! Hygiene and clean! The hotel staff is very good! The needs raised will be met! The price is right too! Will go live in the future!
