Very convenient for M5 and Taunton itself. Great parking. Hotel was quiet. Good basic food in evening and for breakfast. Buffet breakfast dishes replenished regularly. Room was fine, just a few niggles.....only one tea bag which seemed a bit mean - I am sure I could have requested more from the front desk! Bathroom a little tired but adequate.

Absolutely lovely stay, at the this hotel. Only thing I was annoyed about was the noise of foot steps at night from the above room. Othewise for a overnight stop before our holiday it was fine. The staff are all nice and answered our questions promptly.
