This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. I travel and stay in various hotel every week for business, Castle hotel has proven to have all elements to be one of the top hotels in England.
I particularly would like to mention their customer services to be oustanding,staff can't do enough for you, very personal and they really went out of their way to meet your special requirements.
Definitely stay here again if return to Taunton.

A very friendly welcome and excellent service at this Hotel. Good food (we dined in the Bistro as the Restaurant is closed on Sunday evenings). Excellent breakfast. Look forward to visiting this Hotel again.

Customer service was great, everyone was very friendly and helpful.
The hotel was very clean, couldn't have been cleaner really.
The room was AMAZING! The bed was so huge i've never seen a bed so big. The views from the room were beautiful, looking out over well landscaped gardens... Even though the location of the hotel was in the middle of town.
I paid 1/3 of what I would have paid if it wasn't for LateRooms, so VERY good value.
The food was brilliant, we stayed in for a Saturday night meal and were sure it must have been the best meal available in town. We looked around other restaurants in town but nothing appealed like the hotel restaurant. I wouldn't be surprised if the restaurant gets a Michelin star soon enough.

A very good independent hotel with character and charm. Attentive service at all times. The breakfast was excellent though expensive. The restaurant looked very promising but was rather out of our price range! Lots of good alternatives though, including the brasserie attached to the hotel. A beautiful buliding inside and out. Ideally situated in the town centre, but quiet.
