We had such a wonderful stay at the castle hotel. The only feedback was the receptionist on check out wasn’t as friendly as the lady that had checked us in. She appeared to be confused with the communication around breakfast timings. Over all it was a wonderful stay, in the perfect location and it’s such a beautiful hotel

The most stunning exterior, and there were lots of nice staff, who did try earnestly to help when I shared my concerns. The hotel was clean and our room was a really good size. The website shows beautifully decorated luxurious looking rooms, however the hallways and our room clearly have not been touched (since the 80s I’d think) and there is bit of a musty smell - which you’d forgive in the original part of the castle. With a revamp it would be amazing, but sadly they are oh so tired - it must be so tough in today’s economy. Perhaps a didfernent price point for revamped rooms might help? Awful and painful grip tape inside the bath was the worst thing (a less than relaxing soak in the morning). Overall it is just not as advertised on the website and the prices felt high considering this. Very poor quality breakfasts, especially the sausages and eggs royal. Don’t bother with the travel cot, it’s hard as nails. Rather a strongly worded welcome to Somerset in the guest handbook was definitely worth a read though! Didn’t want to take pictures to be honest.

Book with caution! Be aware that there is a nightclub called mamba next to the hotel. Wednesday and Thursday they are open till 2 AM Friday and Saturday till 3:30 AM. We stayed at the hotel mid May Saturday night and the music was extremely loud. It was a heavy techno beat that literally shook the room. We tried to sleep with earplugs, but to no avail. I gave the hotel overall three stars, but that might be generous.

On arrival our room was not made up with 2 beds so we had to wait an extra half an hour for it to be done (we arrived at 6pm). My mother is 79 years of age and was tired. Neither of us slept through the night either as there was no air conditioning and had to leave the window open. The bar next door was loud all night. Worst night’s stay ever and the hotel is not cheap. The hotel needs a serious upgrade. The staff were nice though so I don’t blame them!

The shared parts of the hotel are lovely but the rooms, especially the bathrooms, are a little dated and lack amenities commensurate with the cost. The breakfast should be included in the price.

A night at The Castle

I was very underwhelmed for the money it cost. No fridge or aircon, bottle of water that was left us was in direct sunlight so too warm to drink. Honestly, it was disappointing and I have stayed in better value hotels
