Reviews for No 71
Review 1：Nothing at all to fault this stay.
Review 2：Warm welcome from owner, pot of tea offered on arrival with mince pies, room lovely,cosy and comfortable. Heating was on in the room when we arrived. Good, clean facilities and little extras in room such as chocolates, biscuits and choice of fruit teas. Small fridge too with fresh milk and bottled water. Good continental breakfast and the owner was happy to do scrambled egg on toast for us.
Review 3：No cooked breakfast is unusual. The shower in the bedroom is unusual. The availability of a parking space is not guaranteed.
Review 4：Nice couple run the B&B.
Review 5：A warm welcome, nothing too much trouble and they kindly helped me out when I had to stay another night at very late notice. Superb décor to room, very high standard. I will be back!
Review 6：The rooms were nicely decorated and the option to use the hot tub in the garden was great. Off road parking. The host was very helpful, and even gave us a lift to our evening venue. Generous amount of breakfast offered each morning. Dunster room had a separate bathroom with a roll top bath, which had more room than the other rooms with ensuite.
Review 7：No complaints
Review 8：The owners were friendly and very helpful, even picking us up and dropping us off at the train station. Room was very comfortable and quiet, B&B was in easy walking distance to where I needed to do some research while it was also in walking distance of town centre for my wife. Laundromat just 10 minutes away.
Review 9：Excellent facilities - everything has been fitted out with care and attention to comfort. Spotlessly clean. Breakfast was just what we needed - especially the omelette!
Review 10：I needed a place to stay in Taunton and struck gold! If you stay here, you will never look anywhere else in Taunton to stay. Wonderful service. Bedroom amazing, bathroom top quality with a massive choice of bubble baths. Fridge with a jug of milk and bottle of water in the room. A plethora of teas and coffees, wifi, comfy bed. Fantastic continental breakfast - but was still offered an omelette if I wanted one ! Onsite parking and hot tub in the garden. YOU CANNOT FAULT THIS PLACE! I will definitely be returning !
Review 11：advertised a view of the garden as part of the package.....garden was in the process of being built. Minimal breakfast No heating
Review 12：Very clean, lovely furniture .
Review 13：Very comfortable room, lovely welcome, had everything I needed for an overnight stay. Walking distance to town. Will definitely stay again. Felt very relaxed here.
Review 14：A little more variety on the breakfast would have been nice, perhaps a boiled egg or something similar :-) Soap and shower gel were available in the ensuite but no shampoo. However my hair did not suffer from being washed in shower gel!
Review 15：I stayed in the beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable single bedroom with an ensuite shower room. The free Wi-Fi worked well in the room and a good selection of caffeine free infusions, fresh milk and decaffeinated coffee as well as the usual tea and coffee and biscuits were available in the room. Mike and Jo were very friendly and welcoming. They provided skimmed milk on request - thank you! Off road parking was available in front of the property.
Review 16：Breakfast a little bit limited although yogurt was provided when I asked. As constructive feedback possible inclusions could be nuts and seeds to go with cereals, cheese and muffins. Front rooms are a little noisy with road traffic, but not a problem after 10ish.
Review 17：Great people! Very accommodating and willing to help. Great attention to detail in rooms however shampoo and conditioner would be nice.
Review 18：Breakfast was only "continental" (not specified in hotel info). Didn't realise "private bathroom" meant "not en suite".
Review 19：Friendly owners. TV had Red Button text service.
Review 20：Guest house is very convenient to M5 Taunton junction ... on and off-site car parking available .. hosts very friendly and accommodating ... pleasant continental breakfast : why pay twice the amount for a hotel room when B & Bs of this quality are close at hand ?
Review 21：Not a bad experience just would have preferred a shower in our bathroom instead of a bath as not very easy to get in and out of. Mainly due to me being not very tall and "old bones"!
Review 22：The whole set up was great and Mike and Jo were brilliant and very helpful and nice to talk to.
Review 23：Mike and Jo went above and beyond to host us. We had such a fantastic time and loved staying there. Mike and Jo are so friendly and generous, offering to give us lifts to places and making sure we felt comfortable and at ease. I've never been to a B&B like it and we would completely go back there, and this time hopefully spend longer there enjoying the comfort and beauty of the place and enjoy their outside hot tub!! Thank you Mike and Jo x
Review 24：There was nothing I did not like, I have absolutely no criticism to make .
Review 25：Wonderful welcome, Mike and Jo, are keen that every guest have their individual needs met. Very helpful with advice about the area, restaurants to try, places to visit. I stayed for 3 weeks for business, whilst securing somewhere to rent. Mike and Jo could not have been more helpful. Property was within walking distance of the town, and off road parking was certainly a bonus. My room was spotless, en suit bathroom was a joy, lovely shower, and plenty of space to lay out my pots of creams ! Bed was very very comfortable, bit of a job to get out some mornings. Another bonus was the fridge in the room, and the fresh milk every day, soo much better than those horrible plastic UHT tubs. Breakfast is simple, but plenty of choice of cereal, and the jams and marmalades, well , the range was extensive, and all locally made. You can have fresh fruit and yogurt, as well if you say you want this when you book, so you know it will be brought in fresh ! Mike and Jo manage just the right balance of being attentive, but not in your face. They have a sign up on the wall," you come as guests and leave as friends" - well I was there long enough to say this is true.
Review 26：Pressured for eta 48 hours before day of arrival. Likewise choice offruit/yoghurt for breakfast! Advised no cooked breakfast only afterbooking. Lack of common areas, ie sitting room/TV room althoughthere was a garden but under construction. Private parking but having toback out onto a busy main road. Watch out for 2% surcharge on creditcard payment only made known from info in the room. Prices high for amid-terrace property with limited facilities compared to otherproperties we have stayed in Taunton.
Review 27：Proprietors were friendly and welcoming.
Review 28：Really friendly welcome from the owners and a gentle stroll into Taunton. The rooms are compact but functional and the use of space has been cleverly optimised
Review 29：There was not a shower in our bathroom, however made up by the fact that we had a lovely rolled top bath
Review 30：Staff were superb, making us feel very welcome
Review 31：Nothing
Review 32：Great value and very very friendly helpful owners. Had a very personal touch to the stay including a nice breakfast chat with hot croissants. The room was just right and I had a comfortable night's stay. Good shower.
Review 33：Only continental breakfast available this in itself not a problem but I found it rather disappointing.
Review 34：Room very compact but had everything we needed for a one night stay.
Review 35：I thought the breakfast was a bit low effort. It would have been nice to have some fresh fruit or the ability to request eggs. It was quite expensive when no cooked breakfast was offered.
Review 36：It was a good location and the owners were welcoming. The room although quite small for two, was clean and nicely furnished.
Review 37：I thought that Mike and Jo were great hosts and look after all our needs. We only stayed one night but enjoyed the experience and would stay there again
Review 38：Honestly have not got a bad word to say.
Review 39：Everything! The room was beautifully decorated, equipped with everything you could need for a long or short stay and the bed was extremely comfortable. The private bathroom was also fantastic. The owners of the BnB were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much hassle for them. I would choose to stay at no.71 again In a heartbeat.
Review 40：Mike and Jo made me feel welcome. When I arrived Mike made me a pot of tea! How lovely. The room was clean with fresh milk and bottled water in the fridge. I would definitely stay here again. Excellent! Wonderful hosts that made me feel at ease and a truly welcomed into their lovely home. Thank you x
Review 41：Mike and Jo were very welcoming and accomodating. Everything about this property was wonderful and they even went the extra mile to change my car tyre when it was flat!
Review 42：Nothing.
Review 43：From the moment we walked through the door Mike made us feel welcome;offering us a drink which we enjoyed in the garden. The whole place was nicely decorated and attention to detail was evident (fresh milk rather than UHT pots!). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, feeling welcome throughout and we would recommend a stay at No71!
Review 44：A little road noise from our room which had front elevation. But not enough of a problem to prevent revisiting.
Review 45：The room was beautifully decorated with every thing you could need. Mike and Jo the owners could not do enough to make our stay better. Very highly recommended.
Review 46：No shower curtain around the bath which made things a little difficult for both of us .
Review 47：It was like being in your own home, nothing was too much trouble even when my son turned up to get changed Mike made a pot of coffee for us all.
Review 48：Booked on the trip down via Internet. Very nice people and went out of their way to help. Very clean and nice house. Breakfast was cereal, toast and croissant with huge selections of spreads. All the tea and oj I could drink. Thanks Mike and Jo. Weill see you next time I'm down your way.
Review 49：Smallish room with sloping ceiling Breakfast room a bit cosy too
Review 50：Was taken to cricket ground by hotelier free service offered every morning Spotless modern ensuite and a beautiful upmarket shower Ice cool fridge No children allowed Quiet location with garden view Fresh roses in vase on arrival Free off road parking
Review 51：The owners were amazing, incredibly friendly and made great recommendations for food. I was on a training course and I was the only one who stayed at No 71, but I had the best sleep and experience out of all the other individuals on my training course. Would recommend to anyone visiting in Taunton.
Review 52：I has booked the room in order to visit London for the day and was taken to and picked up from the railway station. The room was large for a single with very good facilities and very quiet.
Review 53：Breakfast OK though I'd have liked more fruit on offer
Review 54：Friendly helpful owner, good use of space for facilities. lots of thought gone into what customers want
Review 55：The bedroom and on suite bathroom was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The hosts Mike and Jo were both very welcoming and overall very nice people. Mike even picked me up from the railway station.
Review 56：There are no problems I have with the hotel
Review 57：Room was well appointed, facilities are excelent and continental breakfast is tasty and satisfying. Our host could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone.
Review 58：I love a cooked breakfast which isn't an option but the continental breakfast is nice too.
Review 59：Really warm welcome and room and bed lovely, as was the private bathroom, although I prefer en suites. Breakfast was lovely, I'm sure a cooked breakfast would be available on future as this is a fairly new b and b. Great hosts which makes up for being a short distance from the centre. Would stay again.
Review 60：Only continental breakfast provided and for the charge for a bed and breakfast a more substantial breakfast would be appreciated
Review 61：Room was good, good bed and spotlessly clean
Review 62：No cooked breakfast
Review 63：Hosts were always there to warmly greet you each time you entered their home. With entertaining conversations with hosts during breakfast sittings. Hosts were happy to give advice on tourists needs. Were happy to offer a lift on arrival or departure. Excellent Wi Fi service. Town map photocopy page to avoid getting lost in Central town centre. Home was beautifully decor in a country style fashion. With a delightful glassed in room for breakfast. There was a bus service right past the front door with shopping centre about 20 mins walk down the road.
Review 64：Run by a very friendly and helpful couple. Good breakfast. Great to be picked up from the train station. Excellent (and very busy) Indian restaurant just along the road.
Review 65：Only a continental breakfast.
Review 66：The hosts, Mike and Jo, went beyond what I expected. Mike brought me to a pub for dinner and picked me up. The room was wonderful - the bed was comfortable - it was the best night's sleep that I had in England. There were fresh flowers on the window sill. All in all, it was a wonderful stay!
Review 67：I wanted a change from the soulless corporate hotels I usually stay at and no:71 is just that. Homely, very friendly, lovely decor and with a personal touch to the service - I will be back.
Review 68：The only downfall was it was a little bit of a walk from the station and into the main town - but I am a keen walker!! But I know Jo and Mike would have picked me up or taken me into town if I had asked them - they don't mind what they do.
Review 69：My room was so cosy and just like being at home with lovely touches in the bedroom, beautifully decorated and fresh flowers. Jo and Mile were lovely and very easy top get along with and chat with, felt very at ease there and with them. Looking to go back there again soon!!!
Review 70：Mike andJo were very friendly, really helpful and made us feel welcome straight away. The room was lovely, well equipped, and comfortable. We loved the attention to detail, the rooms are finished to a very high standard. Breakfasts were ample for our needs. The property is located close to the main roads in the area yet our room was quiet. This was more than just a place to stay; it was an all round lovely experience.
Review 71：I loved the whole place from the warm and kind welcome , the decor, the comfortable modern room, to the adorable couple who are kindness and helpfulness itself. I believe nothing was too much trouble, my comfort and wellbeing were important to them and they both went out of their way in many, many, ways to make a stay a truly pleasant , comfortable and unforgettable experience. I loved staying there and inten to stay ther often in the future.
Review 72：I liked everything!
Review 73：My room and en-suite were beautifully decorated, fresh, clean and comfortable with a fantastic shower. Nothing was too much trouble for Mike and Jo, even ferrying me back and forth to the railway station and printing out timetables for me. Lovely, genuine people - I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in this area.
Review 74：Mike + Jo were really friendly, the room was lovely and very comfortable. The shower in the single room was superb. Would definitely stay here again if life takes me to these parts of the UK again.

Review 76：The best B&B I have ever stayed in. Lovely rooms, great facilities and the most welcoming hosts you will ever find. Made me feel part of the family and nothing is too much trouble

Review 78：Very welcoming hosts, who went out of their way to be of help to us. Great shower. Room was clean and furnished to a high standard. We would definitely stay here again.
Review 79：Jo and Mike were excellent hosts. Mike even offered to pick me up from the train station on arrival which was extremely helpful for someone new to Taunton who didn't drive. As a solo female traveller who was in Taunton for personal reasons, Mike and Jo made me feel at home and well looked after. The location was close to town and near restaurants etcetera. The room was fantastic-very clean and tidy as this was done daily. Excellent tea and coffee making facilities, a brilliant power shower, excellent DVD and tv system. Best of all a comfy bed with excellent pillows. There was even a hot tub. What more could you ask for?! I'd recommend this place to anyone-almost worth visiting Taunton for this alone!
Review 80：nothing
Review 81：I had an excellent stay at Mike & Jo's. The house has a nice garden and is lovely decorated. It felt like a home and the hosts are very well looking after everyone. The breakfast is great!
Review 82：Mike & Jo are fantastic hosts, couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was perfect. Great conversations had between us, day or night and we left feeling like (and hoping) we had made a couple of new friends. Was offered a lift back into town on departure, turned it down to stretch the legs, got 100 yards up the road and the heavens opened, took shelter only for Mike to turn up in his car to give us a lift. That's the sort of thoughtful and caring people these are.
Review 83：Nothing all very good , my best accommodation that I had.
Review 84：The decor of the rooms were excellent and well thought out. The hosts were welcoming, helpful and went well beyond anything I had experienced. Friendly and made you feel a part of their family!
Review 85：I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. No. 71 is beautiful, the room I stayed in was lovely - the decor and quality was fabulous. I was made to feel very welcome and it really did feel like home from home. When I come to Taunton again I'll definitely stay here and will recommend to other people visiting Taunton.
