Nice breakfast, good evening meal, can’t fault the place. Patrick and the locals were very friendly, we happily chatted amongst them all evening on both nights we stayed. All in all a very good time, would we stay again? Absolutely no problem at all."

Top West Somerset Railway Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Taunton

8/10 Good

"A little dated and basic, but was very pleasantly surprised! Enjoyed my spontaneous night here with the dog, staff very kind and helpful. Big cups in the room, with nice biscuits and Yorkshire tea! Very affordable too for the night, would very happily return - given at a services, I didn’t hear the motorway at all! I stayed for convenience, not a ‘need’ and personally for £37 a night, I’d happily go back again!"

The Castle at Taunton

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel with big rooms but poor lighting to do make up and nowhere in the bathroom to put down a wash bag or make up bag … glass shelf too narrow! Exquisite food. Thank you"

Meryan House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy and tastefully decorated. We had booked a double room, the bed was very small, not adequate for two people, in fact when my husband turned over I fell out of the bed. So I am afraid we didn’t feel relaxed and refreshed the next morning. The dining experience was very limited, mainly Chinese food, obviously catered by a Chinese restaurant. The bottle of wine was very expensive, very over priced. Breakfast was good. We felt the host could have been more welcoming and pro-active."

The Royal Ashton Town House

10/10 Excellent

"I was checked in by Emma, who is always so warm and helpful."

Yallands Farmhouse

8/10 Good

"Thank you very much Chris and Karen, we have just had a lovely 2 nights stay at your farmhouse. Lovely soft towels, comfortable mattress and good shower spray. You offered a lovely array of breakfast items and we enjoyed everything we ate! Parking was available so that was a huge plus for us, as was the peace and quiet of the location. Both very nice people who were helpful and friendly but not intrusive, thanks again both of you."

The Yarde Annexe

10/10 Excellent

"I loved it , can’t think we missed for anything . Peaceful perfect garden for sitting in the garden with wine . Would definitely come back 😃"

Bumblebee Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Bumblebee Cottage was lovely. Attention had been given to the smallest detail. Everywhere was immaculate. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay."

Boo Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Very sweet cozy cottage with excellent amenities and great communication. Super comfortable!"
