Our room was average, but priced for a higher range. The room offered the usually tea making facilities, shower, parking, TV and a reasonable comfortable bed but without the breakfast it was over priced compared with the major chains. …

Due to a family incident we didn't see the owner. So for over £200 per person (2nights) we didn't receive the service I assume we would have got. As our stay there was out of season my room at best was a work in progress. I reserve judgement due to the circumstances.

It was a nice stay, very relaxed no-hassle atmosphere. Also, it's very close to the beautiful country park (access via the car park at Tesco), just a short walk and you are in lovely countryside side.

The Beaufort Lodge exceeded my expectations on so many levels.|The owner spoke to us immediately on our arrival and maintained communication throughout. He even took the trouble to send personal text messages, including one with the WIFI code to ensure that we had it.|The room itself was absolutely stunning!

It was fantastic, clean and i felt at home! The bed was comfortable and plushy, the room was very clean. We had plenty of tea and coffee for free which was great. The room was cozy and we had plenty of space. The view was very topical and quaint as well. The city center is just around the corner!

Unfortunately the booking I'd made turned out to be exactly a year in the future so when we arrived after a long, hot cycle only to be confronted with a locked door and a remote host. His attitude was most unprofessional but I'm sure he's perfectly fine, most days. We shall not be staying at Beaufort Lodge next year.

Great stay, right on the edge of Taunton town centre so a lovely little stroll in. Rooms were lovely and clean. Bed was really comfy and genuinely a nice place to just relax by the window. Would definitely return.

We only stayed for 1 night. The room was clean & the bed was comfortable. Very good value for money. They don’t do breakfast but Tesco cafe is just over the road & they do a lovely breakfast . It’s less than a 10 minute walk into town. We would definitely stay here again.

Me and my mums friend stayed here due to my mum going into Taunton hospital for major surgery as it was so close within distance which was more than what we wanted at the time . …

Two nights stay, lovely clean cosy room with on suit and view of the garden (4) tea, coffee, and hot chocolate available to make, TV and hair dryer. Slight hick up with the radiator which was very speedily rectified. Excellent recommendations for eating out locally given to us by the owner Richard, so do ask, easy walk into the town centre.
