How comfortable the room was and the small bottle of milk in the fridge was an extra touch. I do not like the little plastic milk jiggers.

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 .
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.
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.
There wasn't a breakfast option and the room was quite stuffy, due to the combination of very hot weather and a poor quality Aircon unit. No decaf hot drink sachets was slightly disappointing but staff were friendly; hotel is in a perfect position close to the station and cricket ground and it's good value for a single night stay to watch a Somerset match!
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.
Excellent breakfast - certainly didn't need any lunches during my stay.
I was at Taunton for the cricket - the ground is a very pleasant 30 minute walk from the hotel.
Nice lounge for relaxing (and a patio area).
I often don't sleep too well when away but on my first night (which was very warm) I slept for 7 hours! Amazing!
After traveling for over 24 hours, the welcome we got was amazing. Such lovely people and a lovely home, we had our own space but felt like we were being welcomed it a family home.
Location was great for us, we were visiting family in Taunton and could walk off the main road from No.2 to their place.
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
The hotel is very well located a very short walk from the town centre. Ample free parking on-site. Small room but comfortable bed and separate shower in bathroom. Breakfast opened at 7.30 and was quick and efficient. Definitely very good value for money.
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.
We’ll run, local pub and hotel. Excellent accommodation and food, and at a very good price. A nice welcome from the staff, and they accommodated our lack of booking for dinner very quickly. They made our stay in Taunton.
