All bedrooms are ensuite , two with shower and one with bath/electric shower. Each room overlooks a large rear garden and beyond to open farmland. Each bedroom has a selection of books and guests are welcome to use the downstairs library. A range of ordnance survey maps of the local area is available to borrow or buy. Taunton is an historic town with a museum within Taunton Castle; a lovely cricket ground , a theatre , multiplex cinema and extensive shopping facilities including the owners bookshop , Brendon Books situated in historic Bath Place (www.brendonbooks.co.uk).
