This elegant 18th-century country house is located amid the quiet of the Somerset countryside, yet within reach of the M5, just 5 mi from Taunton and Ilminster.

I would describe it as 'An excellent restaurant with rooms', rather than the hotel. The restaurant, including breakfast is exceptional and consistenty so. The rooms vary - they can be good or just average. And the room price is high considering the facilities.
Located in Bishops Hull, Taunton, this charming period residence is over 300 years old and is set in its own grounds, offering somewhere to relax and enjoy.
The Bower Inn is an 18th-century building, located just off the M5 motorway and 2 miles from Bridgwater town center. It offers stylish rooms with luxury bathrooms and delicious homemade food.

Lovely building, excellent quality food, friendly but professional staff
These hotels offer something unique in terms of design and are usually set in a trendy, urban part of town. Blending high standards with a homey vibe, boutique hotels are more intimate than your average hotel.
Very helpful staff. The room was perfect for an overnight stay for work purposes. Everything is there for you, and it's perfectly proportioned. I was impressed by the dual function bathroom / toilet door. Great design!!!
They had truly thought of everything. Perfect overnight stop off for us on the way to Cornwall, but we could have stayed longer, in a lovely rural setting and wonderfully designed rooms. The bed was super comfy and there was a nice little garden for the dog too. We’ve stayed at lots of places that don’t have an enclosed garden, so was really a bonus. I loved that the room looked out on fields too. Nice quiet location. Thank you for having us!
The hotel is in a lovely location: a very quiet rural village in beautiful countryside, the staff were extremely welcoming and efficient and the food was very good quality and served piping hot. The room was well designed and comfortable, there was good Wi-Fi, tea and coffee and the hotel left guides to the local area. I would certainly stay here again without a doubt.
The inn is lovely and I wished I'd had more time there. The rooms are designed in a creative way and feel special. Breakfast was great. Doors are damped so you don't get disturbed by other guests arriving late
Wonderful atmosphere, the building is
exceptionally beautiful and well kept. The
interior is designed with care, is very stylish and
cosy. The place was immaculately clean.
The staff were super friendly and just lovely,
very helpful and welcoming.
The food was beyond delicious! The locally
sourced sausages and jams were the best!
Loved the host, the location was spectacular and the pictures don’t do the place justice! It is just incredible. We started a fire to cook our dinner on in the designated fire place and walked nearby to say hello to some sheep and horses. Stunning place to rewind
the style/ design of the building, a lot of history, think it used to be stables for horses. . the bar and the beer ! Lovely place to sit in the garden and admire the countryside all around. Wide choice of breakfast on offer friendly staff. relaxing. Quirky.
The bed was very comfortable
The countryside close by is lovely
they had nice brand of good coffee
the place was clean
Stylish and pleasing on the eye
garden was gorgeous
the sun shone though not sure the owners can take the credit for this but it made sitting in the lovely garden very pleasant!
