A nice town, busy, attractive, lots of shopping and eating outlets, and history too with the really nice Museum of Somerset. Some good pubs and very good beer! Recommend The Plough near the railway station.

We visit Taunton approx 3 times a year whilst visiting family who live in the town. We love the layout of the town centre, the park, river and atmosphere in the town and enjoy the variety of shops and eateries. It's a great shame though to see a barren wasteland where the cattle market and general market used to be - we miss the market and we're sure that many local residents do too!

Taunton is a fairly average provincial town with all the usual parking problems so take lots of change. The town has all the usual high street shops in addition to a good range of independent retailers and boutique style outlets so great for gift shopping. If you like rummaging around for bargains in charity shops, head to North Street ! There is a great selection of eateries - we particularly liked the Gurkha restaurant in Station Road with a fun ambience and if you go on a Thursday evening, the banquet menu is value for money. On Friday evening we settled for pub fayre at The Shepherd`s Rest in Galmington Road ; the portion size was excellent, the food tasty and well cooked and overall good value for money ; there was also a patrons car park which is always a bonus. We would stay in or near Taunton again.

Taunton itself is ok. Not quite as quaint and pretty as I'd imagined. Lots of chain restaurants. Having said that, in fairness, I didn't really allow myself time to properly explore and look around for anything off the beaten track, so it's quite possible there are some wonderful gems hidden away. Of course, the hotel might have pointed such things out to guests, but it's not that kind of hotel.....
“The owner of the property was a superb host and staff at breakfast were excellent. Probably the friendliest hotel I've ever stayed at.”
“Nice comfortable stay and a very good breakfast. Very handy for the centre of Taunton. Excellent value.”
“Everybody in this hotel was very polite.”
“A warm welcome and helpful, friendly and efficient treatment throughout our stay. Great breakfast. Location excellent for visiting Taunton town itself, with easy access to surrounding countryside.”
“Within easy walking distance of Taunton town centre, about 5 minutes. Ian and Jill were very welcoming, obliging and friendly. Lovely guest house, very clean, lovely room ( we had a very comfortable bed!) and dining room. Breakfast was really lovely too with a great selection and choice. We definitely recommend this guest house and will stay there again.”
