This hotel is 650 years old and the owner is happy to share quite a bit of history about it. Breakfast was excellent. Just know that the kitchen closes at 9:30 AM. We had room one which was the oldest room in the hotel and had an incredible bathtub.

Quirky place, very old and it felt like it but for what i needed it was fine. Wifi was pretty bad.
Interesting 500 year old property with a fascinating collection of 'object d'art'. Comfortable room. The Landlady couldn't have been more helpful-even giving us directions to get home avoiding the roadworks!
Friendly hotel situated about 2 miles from the centre of Taunton in the village of Bishops Hull. The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Purpose of visit was to watch cricket in Taunton which was around 35 minutes walk from hotel.
Quiet spot on edge of Taunton. Would happily stay again, breakfast was nice. Very popular with wakes it seems so you may be off put if you don't like funerals!

A Snug Retreat in a very pleasant convenient spot
Very cosy and comfortable. All staff were very helpful.
We didn't stay very long as we really only needed a bed for the night. on arrival our host was most welcoming. We would liked to have had more time to talk to him. He seemed a very interesting man.
Fantastique hotel avec un parking ce qui n'est pas négligeable.Matelas trop mou et peu confortable.Tout le reste est superlatif.

Quirky hotel.
We were staying two nights and had hoped to eat at hotel at least one. First night we were told we couldn't as we hadn't booked food ahead. Asked if we could book food for second night and were told that owners had colds so wouldn't be serving dinner!
Breakfast was fine and plentiful, although I don't really understand why the men in our party were served extra of everything.
Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean.
A one night leisure stay for a visit to Taunton. Very characterful hotel as was bedroom. A nice large TV in room and no problems with WiFI. An excellent breakfast provided after a very restful night's sleep - no outside noise. Pleasant, friendly staff.
Lovely hotel, nice helpful staff. Everything you needed in the room.

We were the only hotel guests that wante dinner and the owner offered to make us dinner at 7.30 pm, as we had been working since 5 am we chose to go to the nearest other pub, a 20 minute walk away, the breakfast , however was good
Do not stay at this hotel unless you want a thoroughly miserable experience. The proprietors are clearly in the wrong industry - where an orientation to service and politeness are a prerequisite. Our experience was bleak from the moment we checked in - and had there been another hotel nearby we would have checked out and gone there straight away.
