From the friendly staff on arrival to the outstanding food, everything from this stay exceeded my expectations.
The building is incredibly charming and then when you go into the rear garden you’re welcomed by a flock of feathered friends.
The restaurant served me one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time, partnered with a local beer too.
The Lethbridge Arms in Taunton provides accommodation with a garden and a bar. The hotel also features free WiFi and free private parking.

Easily accessed with good parking off road.
Very clean room, even though rather quirky in terms of out of room facilities, not en-suite.
An excellent Thai restaurant within the pub building, with great menu and well laid out seating. Excellent staff team too.

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 .
The owner was very nice and chatty and very knowledgeable about the area. It is very close to Taunton itself. It was very quiet outside and we slept very well. Breakfast was delicious and well received. Nothing was too much trouble. Room and Hotel had an oldy worldly feel but we really liked that and our en-suite was very modern and had a good pump for the shower.
We will certainly stay again if in that area.
Nice gardens, excellent food, friendly staff, poor bed, good bathroom.
The hotel seemed a little pricier than justified in terms of room quality.
I also booked because the hotel states that it has an EV charger. It does but it's worse than useless charging at a mere 6kw and inaccessible due to bad parking so I spent most of my stay in Taunton searching for a fast charger rather than at the hotel itself.
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.
The hotel looks very beautiful from outside the reception area as well. The reception staff were very friendly and apologetic when I spoke to them regarding issues during our stay. Taunton Town centre is amazing for shopping and we enjoyed visiting surrounding areas, however, if we visit Taunton again we will be looking for alternative accommodation.
The overall appearance of the Hotel (both inside and out) was very good. My Room was bigger than most for a similar price. The Bed was comfortable and the Shower and Cubicle were also good, except for the shower head slipping down the vertical pole, meaning I had to duck down to wash my hair ! There is Free Car Parking at the front of the Hotel.
The room and bathroom we're exceptionally large for a Europran hotel.. The windows were large, they opened easily and my room faced a pleasant garden.the room had a nice selection of tea and coffee. Fresh milk and water were provided. The sandwich I ordered from the deli was delicious.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
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.
Dinner bed and breakfast on our way to Cornwall. Relieved that are a dog friendly hotel as it was below zero centigrade last night and the dogs will have had to stay in the car. The chef is excellent and provides interesting food.
The room was spotless and very well furnished; a very comfortable stay. Excellent car park, town centre a short walk away. It has become my favourite hotel in Taunton and my default to book every time I visit.
Close to train station, short walk to town centre. Hotel not noisy, nice sized room with onsuite. Ground floor room at the back of hotel away from street traffic and noise
We like where the hotel is because you can get in to Taunton and also we have two small dogs and there is quite a big park nearby to walk them friendly Bath and fair menu
For me this hotel was good value, it was quiet from my room, clean as i can remember and staff friendly, location was good for me to. Bonus was the kitchen room.
Excellent Hotel location next to Taunton Railway Station (on downside). Run by Dulverton YMCA. Staff were cheerful, & friendly. Certainly would recommend.
