The Castle at Taunton

We had afternoon tea at the Hotel. I booked it for my friend's birthday. The service was excellent as was the choice of finger sandwiches, scones and cakes. I ordered vegetarian/gluten free afternoon tea which was one of the best teas I have had.

Had afternoon tea in the castle Hotel . Very disappointed with the poor service waited around 5 minutes for front of house to appear for us to check in . Eventually shown into the lounge for afternoon tea and waited an age to order and our food eventually came out after approximately 20 minute wait .Food was lovely but service extremely poor for a four star hotel .

This hotel is absolutely lovely, spacious, and clean. Breakfast is first class with high-quality produce. Staff are friendly and helpful, on site electric car charging points, that even i could use. Located directly in the town centre. You couldn't ask for anything better.

My wife and I stayed for three days. The hotel has a fascinating history and is privately owned. The decor is delightful and the bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast in the Brazzo but did not dine in the hotel. The Reception staff were very helpful and everyone was courteous throughout. Would we stay there again. Certainly 4 to 5 star comfort.

A ladies indulgence evening. This used to be a lovely busy event. Warm welcoming canapés offered throughout the evening. This sadly did not live up to previous years. The place was cold. One canapé each was offered. A small event marketed as a large event with lots going on. A very small cocktail demo that lasted 5 mins, not much happening at all. Sadly not worth the ticket price.
