Our room was spacious and very comfortable, great walk in shower in large bathroom. Our host was very friendly and accommodating and the food was great.

The environs were better than the centre although the churches and Museum are worth a visit. Traffic heavy in places and most streets not pedestrianised. I would recommend 'Augustus' for a special meal (Michelin starred). Most other restaurants very unspectacular. Brasserie meal in the 'Castle Hotel' disappointing.
My favourite places are the Quantocks, The West Somerset Railway and Hestercombe Gardens.

Taxi overcharged me on the motorway route after being told it was £25 I got charged £34. He would only take one route that I thought was cheaper. I tried calling him the next day due to no public bus services available. No response. Claimed he arrived fromRomania in 2003. An English person from Taunton Taxis helped me out the next day with an awesomely cheaper rate, and showed me how to get to the basic bus route. Brilliant service from Taunton Taxis. Would highly recommend them but you have to phone as they are not allowed to sit in aTaxi rank apparently, where the expensive guy was....??
Some people here do not know where things are. Bus services do not run on Sundays if you are a traveller, tourist, worker etc.
Prior experience here I was left to sleep in the street, no offer to provide a place to sleep, had a food poisoned experience by local street van vendor, not seen here on revisit where public toilets were intentionally closed and Male urinals open. I am a woman!
Bag of personal belongings stolen from the local library, taken into custody via police where items were returned after it being opened. This was bag with clothes, research books and personal property linking to identity and legal documents were accessed. That was with CCTV.

We came for the County Classics Car Museum which has recently opened. Lots of shiny cars and motorbikes, friendly staff. We also went for a couple of walks close by - one at Ilminster and one at Castle Naroche. We stayed at the Corner Hotel. The meal in their restaurnat (pre-book) was excellent.

Taunton is a nice unusual town with lots of different shops.
Taunton is a nice unusual town with lots of different shops. It is near to the River Tonne and has a museum( although I didn't get a chance to visit on this occasion) It is very close to the cricket ground and has 2 beautiful churches. Nearby there is a nice park called Vivary Park. There are two Park and Rides called Silk Mills and Gateway and the bus runs between the two. It only costs £2 return and you park in the Park and Ride car park for free. The cattle market is no longer held in the town, though.

We went for a live band rock n roll event in the Lawns club it was brilliant they have live music events often.
Lovely walk in the park it has a lovely children's play area with Cafe and outdoor climbing ropes / crazy golf lots to do .
On arrival we were warmly welcomed and although we were hours early the room was ready within 20 minutes. The hotel is situated very close to the town centre so there is no need for a car once you are there. Across the road is a Sainsburys with a petrol station. The breakfast room was pleasant and tea was quick to arrive once we had ordered. We asked for additional pillows and milk and both arrived promptly and were better than expected.
Booked it late as we was staying elsewhere didn't like it
The lady on reception was lovely and very helpful
It's a basic hotel no bar or restaurant but it was near to my son that lives in taunton so for me location was what I wanted couldn't fault it as it was next to services you can get food in there. And sit at the tables they have there so that was also good
There wasn't a breakfast option and the room was quite stuffy, due to the combination of very hot weather and a poor quality Aircon unit. No decaf hot drink sachets was slightly disappointing but staff were friendly; hotel is in a perfect position close to the station and cricket ground and it's good value for a single night stay to watch a Somerset match!
We had a lovely overnight stay at the property just outside Taunton. The owners are considerate in all aspects. From plates and cutlery to allow you to eat a takeaway in your room to milk in the fridge for tea and coffee.
The breakfast was superb - I had a light one as I had overindulged for the rest of the holiday but what I had was fresh and excelent.
We had a great 3 night stay, including one night in a premium room. The staff were very friendly and efficient, the rooms were clean and had a very comfy king size bed. There was a good choice for breakfast and the hotel was convenient for the railway station, which was directly opposite and the town centre was less than 10 minutes walk.
Excellent breakfast - certainly didn't need any lunches during my stay.
I was at Taunton for the cricket - the ground is a very pleasant 30 minute walk from the hotel.
Nice lounge for relaxing (and a patio area).
I often don't sleep too well when away but on my first night (which was very warm) I slept for 7 hours! Amazing!
After traveling for over 24 hours, the welcome we got was amazing. Such lovely people and a lovely home, we had our own space but felt like we were being welcomed it a family home.
Location was great for us, we were visiting family in Taunton and could walk off the main road from No.2 to their place.
We had a very nice room - on the ground floor as requested because of my husband’s heart condition.
The reception service was excellent. Dinner very good, although the menu more limited than advertised.
Parking worked well and hotel is sited a short walk from Taunton’s interesting centre.
The room was really nice, clean and well furnished. The owners and staff were very nice, extremely helpful and made us feel at home. Great value as well compared to what else you would get in Taunton for not much less.
Helpful friendly staff and the room was comfortable and clean. Very convenient location for the M5's Junction 25 but therefore not quite so convenient for Taunton town centre.
Very nice stay. The staff were very friendly and kind. The hotel is perfectly placed for a visit to Taunton. Our room was quiet and very clean. Thank you for a lovely stay.
It was very helpful to us that we were able to bring our dog. Lovely hotel and a good breakfast. Nice bar. Always stay here when we travel to Taunton, never disappointed
Breakfast excellent. Good service.
Room clean and tidy.
Ideal stopover after the cricket and convenient for town centre.
Able to leave car prior to nominal check in.
It was very clean and well equipped, close to town centre and ideal for our visit to relatives in Taunton.
Would recommend The Skewer House for an evening meal.
