Rumwell Manor Hotel in Taunton 

The main house rooms are located in the original Georgian Manor House and offer a choice of double or twin bedded rooms, with a romantic four-poster also available. These 10 superior rooms are particularly spacious, with delightful views of the surrounding countryside or the landscaped gardens. The courtyard wing is situated just a few paces to the rear of the main house, across a cobbled walkway. This wing contains all standard bedrooms, all 10 of which are comfortably decorated and furnished. Whilst these rooms may be more compact than those in the main house, all offer either double or twin beds and a number have convenient ground floor access, although none are specifically modified for disabled use.

Blackdown Restaurant is the perfect venue in which to enjoy a tempting meal - whether you are planning a romantic dinner for 2 or arranging a get together with family and friends. Table d'hôte, à la carte and bar snack menus are available most evenings and there should be something to suit all tastes and budgets. The restaurant is of course open to non-residents for dinner every evening as well as for Sunday lunches. However, it is always advisable to pre-book so as to avoid disappointment.
