Super apartment! Quiet, extremely clean and well-stocked with utensils, washing machine etc. that you might need. Excellent access to both ends of town (approx. 10-15mins walk dep. upon pace), including the County cricket ground.Good choice of nearby coffee shops, and Lidlls and Tesco barely 5 mins walk away. Ample car parking spaces too. Host helpful and quick to respond to any queries.

It’s great to hear the nearby shops, coffee spots, and parking were convenient too. Thank you for your kind words about our communication — we’d be very happy to welcome you back.
The lift to the apartment got stuck and we were unable to get a reply from the lift service team. Fire brigade had to release us

Thank you for letting us know about this, and I’m very sorry for the distressing experience you had with the lift during your stay. That must have been extremely unsettling, and I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and concern caused.
We are taking this matter very seriously. The incident has been reported to the lift management company as a priority, including the lack of response from their service team, and we are following up to ensure appropriate checks and procedures are in place to prevent anything like this from happening again.
Thank you for your patience in such a difficult situation, and for taking the time to share your feedback. It is genuinely appreciated and helps us improve the safety and experience for all guests.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the apartment and its modern, clean feel, as well as the convenient location close to Taunton’s centre. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon
A good apartment for a short stay. First appearances were very favourable. It was a good base for the area and especially for the cricket ground. Parking was very easy. Using the postcode, the sat nav took us to the Tesco car park. The route from there to the Waterside building was like going three sides of a square. It is a 90 second walk between the two locations but a much longer drive!The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom well appointed. There is a lovely view of two tulip trees from the feature window in the bedroom.The kitchen equipment is minimal, never enough to fill the dishwasher before running out of basics. It lacked a vegetable peeler and a pair of scissors, both bare minimums for self-catering.Disappointingly, the oven and the grill pan were dirty. The communal bin stores for recycling and refuse were both in a poor state due to residents not using them properly. This appears to be an ongoing issue. We brought our considerable recycling home.
