I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, perfect for a stay with my pet. The service was exceptional, with thoughtful amenities provided for my furry friend. The location, right next to Taunton train station, made traveling super convenient. The on-site dining, especially the freshly brewed coffee, was a delightful touch. Although the facilities were great, I found the price slightly on the higher side.
