It is about a 10 minute ride on a shuttle bus from Taunton Train station and only 2 miles from Cothelstone. The owner is David Hinton. He is very knowledgable about the manor and its history. He gave me a great tour. I believe that he is also the mayor of the town. He is an author and has written a few books about the area. The B&B is wonderful, new, and has a wonderfully relaxing garden.
