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.

Historic town with a Heritage walking trail that takes in a lot of the attractive town with its numerous attractive floral displays including those around The Market House which originally housed the Guildhall and Assembly Rooms, now houses the Visitors centre. There are old shopping arcades, plus a nice variety of independent shops and National Chain stores. We especially liked the open landscape area around the Castle ruins which houses the small museum and the ooshort walk along beside the river.
In a good location not far from the town centre. On quite a busy road but on a Saturday night we didn’t really notice the traffic. Neither did the church next door have bells ringing after about 6pm.
The bar was a nice touch if a bit limited in stock but that was understandable for the size of the hotel.
We had a superior double which was a good size with a very efficient radiator so the room was quite warm. Unusually it had quite a lot of lights in the room too which makes a change for hotels, and a large tv.
Very friendly hosts, good breakfast. Quite a convenient location for a 20 / 30 minute walk into Taunton town centre. As per other reviews Yallands is surrounded by a housing estate but that really doesn't detract from the location when you are there, as it is a bit of a 'rural oasis in an urban area' There is also a comfortable guest lounge which was really useful for us. I'd certainly stay there again. - Thank you to the hosts.
Very friendly, polite & approachable staff.
The room was light & airy, despite being a little on the small side & the addition of the fan already in the room when we arrived was a huge bonus.
The menu was high brow, but delicious & the chef their team in the kitchen certainly knew how to prepare a fine dining experience.
The location, near to the town centre was close enough to walk in a matter of minutes.
Our room was very clean with everything we needed. Unfortunately the owner couldn't greet us due to Covid restrictions and being vulnerable but dropped me text explaining everything and apologising for the situation. Location was great, literally a 10 minute walk into Taunton and a Tesco virtually opposite if you needed late night snacks. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic accommodation. Very spacious, wonderfully decorated, with all facilities and equipment needed. Great location near to the station and town centre, with plenty nearby. Great communication and instructions from staff throughout the process. Will definitely be back when next in the area.
The staff, the location (when I found it, Taunton not easy to navigate by car). The hotel was lovely with a lot if variation in terms of seating space. So you could choose a busy and buzzy bar. Or you could relax in The Drawing Room which was quiet and relaxing
Our room was lovely - clean, tidy and had all the amenities we needed. We had a lovely breakfast served the morning of our departure. Perfect location - quiet at night, and an easy drive (15 min) through country lanes to Taunton town centre!!
You know what to expect at this chain and didnt disappoint. Very convenient for M5. Clean, comfortable with a good choice at breakfast. Large car park and bus stop outside the hotel for the town centre. Would recommend.
Lovely little country house hotel in beautiful grounds in a very quiet village about 15 minutes from Taunton. The staff were charming and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
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.
excellent 1 night stay at the Castle hotel. The room was great and the bed was very comfy. Dinner was lovely in the restaurant and the breakfast was spot on. Would stay again
