Stayed for one night on the way to Devon. We were welcomed by the hosts who were friendly and warm. The room was lovely and while big, maintained a cosy warm feel. Most importantly to us the matress was of a good quality and the pillows to match, equally the bedding was of a very high standard. Breakfast the next... More

I stayed for three nights on 3rd 4th and 5th of January. I slept really well. My stay was fo business rather than pleasure but I would be equally happy to stay there for pleasure. My room was spotlessly clean. The welcome I received was warm and friendly. The hospitality was pleasant with Geoff showing a genuine interest and attentivness... More

We booked late for the foru poster room with separate sitting area. Lovely room, exposed beams, warm colors, great bed, warm bath, good tv, with the wind howling outside it was a great place to get snug and enjoy a cosy night. Convenient for Taunton visit or on the go, close to the motorway (which could be a bit of... More

On arrival you are greeted by children watching TV in the room next to the breakfast area - they then stare at you, very unprofessional. There was a problem with the booking which had been booked twice - 2 couples had to pay for 4 rooms. No recompense offered, I was so upset I couldn't talk to them, I had... More

This was my first accomodation in Taunton at the start of my contract so I booked for 4 nights in late May. Booking was easy over the phone and I was shown to my room promptly when i arrived. The rooms are in old coach houses attached to the main house. When i entered the room I immediatley smelt damp... More

We booked Octon Lodge because of its locality to a friends wedding and weren't disappointed Having arranged early check-in we unfortunately arrived late, but were welcomed in and shown through to our room in one of the stable blocks, which was clean, relatively spacious, and pretty well appointed...our only complaint would be the (apparently) creeky four poster which kept waking...

Octon Lodge is a peaceful yet perfectly located B&B in Taunton and easy to find. I expected a small room and arrived to find myself in my own cottage with a four poster bed! The accommodation was kept impeccably clean throughout with everything you could need. I wish I could have stayed longer. It is perfect for business stops or... More

This B&B is, unfortunately, one of the worst places that I have stayed at in several years. The whole place is 'jerry built' and badly finished. Our room was smelly, cold and damp. The exterior was unkempt, lacked care and attention. Breakfast was mediocre and a cooked option was an extra £6-50 per head. I would never stay again.

My husband and I and our 9 year old daughter were booked in at Octon Lodge for 5 nights whilst my son played in Taunton's annual cricket festival at the school down the road. First impressions of arriving at Octon Lodge made me worry before we had even got inside. The B&B is approached via a layby, right next the... More
