Castle Hotel, Grade II listed hotel in Taunton, England
The Castle Hotel occupies an 18th-century stone building with 44 bedrooms, two restaurants, and a Norman garden surrounded by medieval walls.
The structure stands on the site of a 12th-century Norman fortress, which served as headquarters for the Duke of Monmouth before the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685.
The hotel maintains regular cultural programming throughout the year, featuring literary talks, historical presentations, and classical music performances in its traditional spaces.
The property provides on-site parking at £8 per night, lift access to most rooms, and sits just two miles from the M5 motorway in Somerset.
A 150-year-old wisteria vine grows along the exterior walls of this family-operated establishment, which has functioned as a hotel for three centuries.
