Nice old building
Carpet bugs in the room. No action taken when we let the staff know
Lovely place, friendly staff, hard beds, perfect place for a stop off on our way to Cornwall
Not much
We received a friendly welcome from the staff who were then very good throughout our stay. Both the evening meal and breakfast were super. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable.
The bar / restaurant area lacked some comfortable seating where our group could retire to after eating.
Tranquilidad de la zona proximidad a Tauton y calidad del desayuno y comidas.
Very nicely renovated old pub and good food.
Unfortunately room was very hot and even with windows open and fan blowing we couldn’t sleep well.
Beautiful cosy room. Excellent country pub in lovely surroundings
N/A
very good service, nice breakfast, good beer
maybe overpriced but it may be an expensive area
Excellent location, and good evening meal
Slow bar service, but no big deal !
Very nice inn with a lovely terrace. Nicely decorated and renovated.
A tiny smell in the bathroom (pipes) - otherwise all good.
Large bedroom.
Shower compact . Very hot night and room uncomfortable for sleeping despite fan .
Room and bed were very comfortable, staff very pleasant and helpful. Dinner and breakfast food very good and good choices. Beers very good also!!
Shower in bathroom very wobbly controls and not very big area either. The sides of the shower seemed too close to the shower head, insufficient room inside really.
The Greyhound is an absolute gem in what seems the middle of nowhere but only a 15 minute drive from Taunton Food was excellent, portions massive. Our room was really spacious and serviced daily. Breakfast choice was really good using quality ingredients All the staff we came across were really friendly and helpful, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or recommend to friends.
The only downside for me was the bed was a little on the hard side but for someone else that might be perfect.
Attractive buildings. Plenty of easy parking. Excellent food and generous portions. Good rooms with comfortable beds. Outside sitting area
Not that I didn’t actually like it but the outside area I didn’t find very comfortable. Just wooden picnic benches
Last year friends recommended having a roast dinner at The Greyhound Inn in Taunton, Somerset. The roast was delicious and we decided to stay at the Inn this year. We booked for a week in the 'Diamond' room on the ground floor and it didn't disappoint! The room was spacious, very clean and had a lovely large comfortable bed. There was a fridge in the room which was replenished every day with two bottles of water and two wafer biscuits which was a great touch. It had a large shower room. We had breakfast, included in the room price, with a variety of cereals, juice, fruit and cooked foods. There were a variety of main meals which were tasty, well cooked and plentiful. The Inn had a large car park. This is truly a diamond in Somerset and well worth a visit.
We liked everything and will return
A brilliant country pub full of rustic charm and very attentive service.
It was all lovely.
Homely, great staff, not trying to be overhung it isn’t. Great food, large quantities.
Fridge in room broken, No smart TV so limited viewing
Heel relax
Geen airco
Lovely decor in the room, generous and varied tea selection, happy there was a fridge for water. Food was great.
The breakfast was excellent. Very large portions. Excellent choice both hot and cold. Lady who served us delightful. The dinner the night before was also excellent. Good choice of menu. Service with a smile from both the ladies who served us. Our room was perfect. Excellent facilities which included a fan. Quiet location. Very comfortable bed. Thank you.
Everything was as we wanted it to be. We couldn’t fault the location of the Greyhound, our en suite bedroom or the food were great. The lady who welcomed us on arrival very pleasant and helpful. Nothing was wrong
The pub itself was very pretty. We had a spacious, comfortable and well appointed bedroom. Large bathroom with a good shower. Nice touches like complementary cold water and a snack in the bedroom

Lots of character,nice outside area if it’s warm, good meals,good bar selection Large bedroom
Getting upstairs,up a narrow staircase Shower was very small,don’t drop the soap
Good location and nice food and drink
No air conditioning
The staff were excellent and were particularly helpful in dealing with my wife's gluten free dietary requirements. The room was very comfortable and the evening meal and breakfast were really good.
A very minor point but it would have been good to have had a few more gluten free options for breakfast - especially bread. Not a major problem but maybe something to consider.
The hotel / pub was a lovely, the staff very friendly, the beer excellent. The room was very large and whilst we did eat there in the evening the menu looked great, the breakfast selection was extensive with the full English a joy to behold, kept me going for all. Would definitely go back there day.
Nothing
Excellent breakfast and great service.
More flexible checkout time.
Locatie was herl gezellig
Location, food, lady at breakfast, comfortable bed, service at.evening meal.
We stayed and paid for a triple deluxe room. The room was small with no third bed or room for a third bed. There is no wardrobe, just three hangers on a small metal rail screwed to the wall. Room and bedding were clean but the carpets in room were dirty and stained. Hotel was fully booked and so I think we got the "last puppy in the shop"
Lovely village pub, modern and comfortable rooms, and great food. Staff very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
Nothing!
The staff were genuinely friendly the food was exceptional lovely accomidation and pub
Perfect location for our stop over from The Midlands to Cornwall. Plenty of parking, staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Good choice of beers and great food. Would definitely recommend.
The cooked breakfasts were particularly good.

We have stayed here before and knew that the room and bed would be very clean and comfortable - as it was. Food good too.

Location, staff and excellent dinner&breakfast

Lovely rooms, lovely pub, lovely food
Fantastisk hyggeligt sted, autentisk og charmerende indretning. Stort værelse, god seng og meget søde mennesker. Kan kun anbefale dette sted.
Fantastic, probably one of the best meals I have ever had.

Lovely comfy room, great food, excellent breakfast

All round excellent and the breakfast was 5 star!
The pub was very quaint with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. The food was good in a very pleasant laid back dining area. The breakfast menu was good also.
The bedroom was rather warm at night even with the heating off and we both found the bed rather uncomfortable.
The Greyhound is a really lovely inn, set in the countryside, but fairly close to Taunton. There is ample parking. The rooms, we have stayed twice and stayed in two rooms, are really lovely, especially Room 1. It is lovely to have complimentary water and caramel bars in the fridge. Everywhere is beautifully clean and the rooms are serviced daily. Breakfast was beautiful, with a varied menu and cooked to order, we recommend the omelettes and Eggs Benedict. The evening meals were great too. Staff were all lovely and went the extra mile.
The stairs up to the room were a bit steep, do ask for help with luggage.
Lovely pub, attentive staff, easy check-in. Gorgeous room with everything we needed. We had our evening meal at the Greyhound and it was delicious as was the breakfast! Definitely recommend and will stay again! Thank you.

The room was superb, clean, large, very comfortable. The Inn itself is charming with lots of lovely character. The evening food was lovely as was the breakfast, staff incredibly friendly, nothing negative to say at all.
This is our third visit to the Greyhound and we really enjoy staying there, it is situated in a lovely village and the staff were really welcoming and friendly. We also had an evening meal which was delicious.
We've stayed there before and will again, as a regular stopping off point
The breakfast was delicious. Karen is wonderful. She went out of her way to look after us.

My daughter and i were looking for a short stay around Taunton area. We were collecting her Wedding dress from from a beautiful hall in wellington. The Greyhound Inn looked Perfect for what we were looking for. It was in a Quiet and a beautiful location. We were not disappointed at all when we araved. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The bar staff and food was brilliant 👏 We felt our weekend was too short, because of the area and the fabulous hospitality that was given. Lovely sized bathroom, and amazing high beems in the bedroom. So many places to visit and experience. The Pig, being one you must visit. Thank you to all the staff at the Greyhound inn.
The breakfast was just right size and very nice
Could not fault anything
Perfect location for what we needed. The grey hound had very Community feel to it very welcoming Staff very friendly and helpful Food excellent Our room very comfortable and would stay again

Comfy stay. Airy large room and the dinner was excellent. Would return
Lucy looked after us at breakfast and was excellent. Nothing g was too much trouble. The room was spacious and exceptionally clean and comfortable.
Nothing no problems at all. Even the evening meal which I booked was delicious.
Recently renovation of the main building and creation of rooms in a former skittle alley(!) are excellent. The food was excellent and the staff were lovely.
Nothing.
The location was great, room was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good, could ave had more of a continental selection. I had the omelette form the hot options which was nice.
The room was clean and tidy and the space was well used, In the shower the grout had mould which is easily fixed with bleach spray and a sonic scrubber.
Excellent
We were on our first trip to Taunton for the 30th December Raceday. The Greyhound is perfectly placed for the course and was a really comfortable, homely country pub with a Dinner and Breakfast (included) Menu for all tastes and superbly cooked. I was able to thank the chef when we booked out. Our Room (No 2) was brilliant and so so comfortable once we had sorted out the windows and the heating. The lack of traffic noise was such a bonus to us. Any time we are back at Taunton the Greyhound is a great value for Money No Brainer!
OK! Everything is top rated so these are observations. When shown the room guests could probably do with a quick instruction how to seal the windows from the cold air. The staff were brilliant but there needed to be more staff working especially post racedays as everyone piled in after the racing. Notably on the morning of the 31st December as we were booking out, the one staff member was distracted by taking down the Christmas decorations and preparing for New Year's Eve as well as serving breakfast. There was a big rush to give us our bill and get it paid before we had time to even look at and check it!
The breakfast was great and the service was very attentive. The room itself was very clean and comfortable.
Nothing. All was good.
Cosy Pub feel with good tasty pub fayre Excellent sized bedrooms Good internet
Shower water pressure V small television given size of room
The quality, high standards and character, cleanliness and a caring team
So minimal...hardly worth mentioning but. No bottled coke/ diet coke at the bar. I would have preferred the option of brighter lighting in the room
Great location, fantastic parking, wonderful staff and good food at reasonable prices. Breakfast was swift to the table and good.
The room needed redecorating, the carpet was not fitted properly and made it feel shabby, there was too much noise between the rooms.
Lovely spotless accommodation. Great food and wine! Karen at breakfast was amazing!! Went above and beyond. So wonderful, friendly and happy - made our stay!
Friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast
Bedside light too dim to read by
Very nice and comfortable, staff very polite and professional. Breakfast very good. Also had an evening meal which was outstanding. Room’s very nice and good value for money.
Nothing no faults at all.
Everything about our stay was perfect. The staff, the location, the breakfasts and the evening meals were all amazing. Our room was warm, quiet and comfortable. We will definitely try to book here again when we come to this location.
Good Lovely village setting
Very welcoming staff that looked after us throughout our stay. Excellent evening meal options and great food. Beautiful tasty breakfast.
The location was a fair way from anywhere else, about 5-6 miles from Taunton. It was quite wet when we were there and the car park is not surfaced making it quite messy getting into vehicles.
Friendly bar staff. Good food and choice of drinks
Lovely location and comfortable rooms
Could do with more comfortable chairs in the bar area for relaxing before and after dinner. Menu could be more varied. Second stay here within 3 months and the menu choice was the same.
Beautiful property, tastefully decorated with a gorgeous cosy pub feel and wonderful food.

Lovely staff, great food in the pub and breakfast (included)
Like so many hotel rooms it seems to have been designed by a man (and i'm a man lol). Needs good lighting near a mirror and socket so my wife can do her makeup & hair, plus more hooks in the bathroom for towels wash bags etc
Comfortable well presented country inn Good food. Attentive staff.
Nothing.
Wonderful location and a beautiful building, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We booked a table for an evening meal which was exceptional
