4 Bedroom Cottage in Taunton
Castle House, part of a 12th century castle, has a long and varied history. The medieval building has played host to judges and royal courts, and later to school boarders and museum curators. Now in the grounds of the Museum of Somerset, it is a unique opportunity to stay in the historic Taunton Castle. With views over the castle courtyard and the ruined castle keep, now transformed into the Castle Hotel's beautiful Keep Garden, you can achieve an insight into the medieval world that once occupied this place. The ground level entrance is situated on the side of the property facing the Castle Hotel for 24-hour access. Once inside, a flight of stairs takes you to an upstairs hall, off which the 'Tudor Room' is located, the property's feature sitting-room. This floor also contains a luxury double bedroom and single bedroom, a large shower room and an elegant dining room which leads through to the kitchen. Complete with all modern conveniences, the kitchen is spacious and light with wide views onto the Keep Gardens. If you don't want to eat-in, why not pop across to one of the Castle Hotel's restaurants? You can also have the Castle Hotel deliver lunch to you on request. Follow another flight of stairs up to the third storey of Castle House and you will find a large bathroom with a stand-alone bath, a twin single and the master bedroom complete with a four-poster bed. Once unpacked, if you want to learn more about the local area why not head over to the Museum of Somerset? There you can explore the county's rich history, partake in one of the museum's many events or just take in the atmosphere with a coffee in the castle courtyard. You can also enjoy free entry to special family events and arrange a private guided tour of Castle House and it's connecting tower! (Please contact the museum for further details.)
