The Great Western Hotel, Taunton is a Grade 2 listed Georgian property opposite Taunton Railway Station. The hotel was converted to offices for use by the District Engineer in the 1950s, but has been vacant for a number of years and was in need of repair. The development will provide a quality hotel within an historic building with many of the existing Georgian features being retained and enhanced, harking back to the splendour of railway travel when steam locomotives first arrived in Taunton in 1842. Fortunately, much of the original hotel remains, including its own stable block and many interior features. It has 20 en-suite bedrooms, with meeting rooms, conference facilities, a café / bar and dining. No real ale but Doom Bar & Butcombe Gold in bottles. Sheppy's cider also in bottles.
