The Castle at Taunton in Somerset has for decades been a popular hotel for parties of guns in either Somerset or neighbouring Devon. The luxurious accommodation, excellent food and wine and the kind of attention to detail that one would expect of a famous, family-run hotel are so appealing to the guns after a day’s sport.
Shooting parties who have stayed at The Castle have rated it as one of the best hotels in Somerset, which is why so many return time and again. Shooting parties stay with us for pheasant and partridge shooting available on both large and small shoots in Somerset and Devon, as well as for red deer stalking on Exmoor.
Well-known shoots near The Castle are the Chargot in Somerset and the Molland in Devon, organized by Bettws Hall, who recommend the hotel as a most agreeable ‘billet’ for shooting parties.
For non-shooters, of course, there are so many things to do and places to visit in and around Taunton.
