The Castle at Taunton

An excellent stay to attend a family celebration. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very comfortable and clean. Hope to return sometime.

We stayed to watch the cricket and see family and friends in the area. Our room was a little on the small side which meant it was very hot during the night, room could do with a fridge for drinks. Breakfast is good and the gardens are kept in good condition. When we come to watch the cricket again we will stay here again.

So, the staff in general were lovely, the hotel is nice and the gardens are great. Their billing process is haphazard. Check all cards you might have offered them for surplus charges. Having fully paid before we left my partner's card was subsequently charged for a phantom room as well as someone else's lunch (they were at our table but we did watch them pay for it.). Also a small issue with breakfast 'system' - 25 mins before close of service we were pretty much forced into a table in a tight corner and not allowed to sit at any of the 15+ tables set out for 3 or more people. What were they expecting on a Thursday morning, a bus load of family groups to suddenly arrive for breakfast with 15 minutes to spare?
