HOTELS

The Castle Hotel, Taunton
The Castle at Taunton is one of the finest hotels in England, renowned for its excellent and caring service, for comforts traditional and modern and for its superb restaurant. It has been owned and run by the Chapman family for sixty years.

Music weekends have been held here since 1977, and Martin Randall Music Management took over the running of them in 2003. Concerts and talks are held in the air-conditioned Music Room.

Bedrooms are individually and charmingly decorated and well equipped. The majority have a bath with a shower above. Most are a good size, and the largest, with a sitting area and separate dressing room, overlook the garden in the remains of the twelfth-century castle. Single rooms – for which there is no supplement – are fairly small and have a singe bed. 
Taunton lies on the doorstep of Exmoor and the Quantocks, areas with some of the loveliest countryside in England.

TESTIMONIALS
The total ambience is unique. The comfort and non-hurried pace enabled a relaxed attention at the concerts.
Inspiring in every way.
A first class 48 hours with good company.
Each concert was a learning experience with a heightened appreciation of the music. I thought the playing was delightful and so personal in the intimate atmosphere of the Monmouth Room.
A thoroughly pleasurable and instructive weekend.
