Once a Norman Fortress, the Castle at Taunton has been welcoming travellers since the 12th Century. The Castle at Taunton is steeped in the drama and romance of English history.

The Chapman family have been running the hotel for 50 years and in that time it has acquired a worldwide reputation for the warmth of its hospitality.

Laurels in the Good Food and AA Guides also testify to the excellence of the Castle's kitchen and cellar.

Located in the heart of the West Country, the Castle is the ideal base for exploring a region rich in history. Today the castle lives at peace with its turbulent past but preserves the atmosphere of its ancient tradition, and having withstood this test of time visitors today can enjoy those very same pleasures.
