Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Greyhound in Taunton is often praised for its lovely decor and spacious rooms, some offering complimentary chocolate wafer biscuits and bottled water. Guests frequently highlight the good value menu and well-cooked food, including a magnificent full English breakfast and tender beef in the Sunday roast; dinner reservations can even be made pre-stay via email. While most find the rooms peaceful, some guests have occasionally noted hearing conversations from adjacent rooms. The hotel's proximity to Taunton Racecourse is also a plus for many visitors.

Okay stay, some issues though

great locationslow serviceforgotten drinks
The location was fine.
The service was slow, drinks WERE forgotten. We brought in a cake but were told we could be presented with it but not eat it there which I find so WEIRD. what we ordered we didn't get so in essence we got what we were given not what we ordered even after sending it back twice.
