“Better than the reviews”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We wouldn't have stayed here based on the reviews but other members of our group chose the Falcon over the Premier Inn a few yards away, based on price. It is everything the reviews say - tired décor, patched up broken windows - but also a warm welcome and a great breakfast. The room was warm and quiet and the bed comfortable. Don't expect too much and you might be pleasantly surprised.

“Friendly Owner”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

Excelent management. The owner/manager is a very helpful person. Very good value for money. A little far from town centre. Taxi fares in Taunton are on the high side.

“Great breakfast but in need of a spruce up.”

A warm welcome and a very good breakfast (could not fault it at all to be honest). Room was generally clean with comfy beds but the decor of the whole building requires a major update. To be blunt if you wish to time-travel back to 1976 then this the b&b for you otherwise travelodge it instead.

“Frayed at the edges but with charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

When we arrived we were a little surprised at the state of the exterior of the hotel. It looked quite frayed at the edges, as did the inside, but then we met the Graham, the host, all was forgiven.
So hey, it is frayed at the edges but after being there for a short time we thought it added to its charm. The room we had was large, clean, and with all the amenities we needed. It is an old fashioned place, but we hadn't come to buy it only to stay there for a couple of nights. Graham is a lovely person, he couldn't do enough for his guests. His breakfasts were delicious and very nicely presented. There was a couple from America staying there who had stayed 4 or 5 times previously and they couldn't say enough in praise of Graham. I agree with them.
I have read some of the other reviews that said they didn't like the place, well we did, and we would certainly stay there again, so Graham, thanks for a very nice weekend and we hope to see you again sometime.

“Think about what you need from a hotel. We will be back.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

We read the other reviews and went ahead and booked anyway.The owner Graham is so pleasant and friendly it would be hard to offend him. We were made very welcome and shown to our room shortly after arrival.The room was spacious, quiet and with clean bedding and towels.Yes,one may say the place could do with a lick of paint.We need a clean bed, quiet room, value for money and an appetising breakfast.We got all we asked for. We spent 99% of our time away from the hotel, so is it really that important that it needs a bit of decoration? I think not. All the staff are so helpful and welcoming we will be using the hotel again.We would recommend.But not to snobs.

Room Tip: As a family with a 12m baby girl we thought the fop floor room a bad idea.Till we realised the quiet...
