Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had lovely-sized rooms with the added bonus of a bath as well as a shower. The room layout was well thought out, complete with essential amenities for a comfortable overnight stay. However, the fixed windows limited fresh air circulation. The service was hit or miss – while a staff member helped with parking, the wake-up call was missed due to an early morning disturbance. The location was convenient for walking into the town center, but service during breakfast was lacking. The dining experience, although delicious, seemed overpriced for what was offered. Overall, a mixed experience with some highs and lows.
The accommodation was very budget-friendly, but the cleanliness left much to be desired. The noise levels early in the morning were quite high, and the bathroom felt cramped. The service, however, was exceptional, especially for NHS staff and those needing gluten-free options. The location was convenient for various activities and visits, though the dining experience had some shortcomings. Overall, it was a decent stay for the price paid.
The hotel is conveniently located for access to Taunton and surrounding areas, making it perfect for a stopover or a visit to Musgrove Hospital. The rooms are cozy but slightly cramped, and the bathroom is on the small side. The service provided by the Corner House staff is polite and friendly, offering top-notch breakfast options. The hotel's dining experience is decent with the curry being a standout. However, some noise transfer between rooms could be bothersome for light sleepers. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
