Royal Ashton Hotel Taunton offers 38 rooms 8 minutes' walk from French Weir Park. The hotel offers Wi-Fi in public areas.

Location

Located within a 500-metre distance of the Somerset Cricket Museum, this 2-star hotel is just a few steps from The Cooper Associates County Ground. Take benefit from the proximity to Lyngford Park, which is 20 minutes' walk away.

Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to Victoria Park, located about 800 metres away. The tinted Woodlands Castle is 10 minutes away by car, and Taunton train station is situated just 0.8 km from the Royal Ashton.

The nearest bus stop is Royal Ashton 5 minutes' stroll away.

Rooms

The rooms include coffee/tea making facilities, along with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels for your convenience. Bathrooms with a separate toilet and a shower, also feature hair dryers and bath sheets for guests' extra comfort.

Eat & Drink

Offering Nepali dishes, Gurkha 3 Nepalese & Indian Cuisine is situated fairly close to this property.

Leisure & Business

The availability of a golf club guarantees guests an active stay at the smoke-free hotel.

“What this townhouse lacks in modern polish, it more than compensates for with its prime location near the railway station and honest service. The rooms are equipped with thoughtful touches like a fridge and complimentary coffee, and while bathrooms can be compact, the trade-off is a budget-friendly stay in a very convenient location.”

Really good Stay!

I loved the proper shower. It was not necessary to climb into a bath! The mini-fridge was useful. The hotel's proximity to the rail station is unbeatable. A supermarket nearby makes everything easier, and a riverside walk gets you into town.

I discovered several Indian restaurants nearby, they provide diverse options. Breakfast requires a short walk. I found two cafes open, offering an early meal, and both provided great coffee.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They even showed me to my room! there was plenty of space in the flatlet and a comfy sofa in the lounge. the bed felt very comfortable. Plenty of towels were provided, too. basics like tea and coffee were available. I even found some milk pots in the fridge.
My room faced the street. It did get a little noisy, so it was hard to fall asleep sometimes. plus, the tv felt low. I think it needs to be on the wall.

The staff was helpful and always available. It was lovely. the room had a handy fridge and complimentary coffee each day, which i adored. the location was ideal with easy access to the station and town center, a convenient walk away.
i found that the door closers could be softer because the slamming of doors was a bit bothersome at night.
