The Castle at Taunton is steeped in the drama and romance of English history. Once a Norman fortress, it has been welcoming travellers to the town since the 12th century.
Today the Castle lives at peace with its turbulent past but preserves the atmosphere of its ancient tradition. The Chapman family has been running the hotel for 60 years and in that time it has acquired a worldwide reputation for the warmth of its hospitality.
The restaurant, ranked among the best in Britain, serves bold, innovative dishes, with virtually everything sourced from the region, often described as England's finest larder. The Penthouse is arguably the most exciting setting for private entertaining in the West Country. Located at the top of the Castle, guests enjoy panoramic views of the Quantock Hills on one side and the Blackdown Hills on the other. For informal dining, the buzzy Brazz brasserie, bar and café serves brunch, lunch and dinner every day.
Located at the heart of England's beautiful West Country, the Castle is the ideal base for exploring a region rich in history. This is the land of King Arthur, King Alfred, Lorna Doone's Exmoor and the monastic foundations of Glastonbury and Wells.
