“ Best holiday in years – 11 out of 10” “ Yet another fabulous holiday!

See you again next year ”

The Promenade has been providing excellent, accessible holidays since we welcomed our first guests back in 1976. We take great pride in giving you the very best service. Nothing is too much trouble for our very friendly and helpful staff team.

The Promenade is beautifully situated on the seafront, with sweeping views across the bay. It’s an easy stroll to the harbour, with picturesque cottages along the way. Beautiful Blenheim Gardens is close by, with summer concerts at the traditional bandstand. We are open all year round, with eight fully accessible rooms and three top-floor rooms for carers or family members. We offer discounted winter breaks from November to the beginning of March, and a choice of themed breaks all year.

At your service

At The Promenade, you can start the day with a full English breakfast with all the trimmings. Lunches are served all day in the restaurant or in our beautiful conservatory, overlooking the garden and the bay. The bar is open all day, serving a selection of drinks and beverages. Our chefs cater for all dietary needs and will happily discuss any requirements with you before your visit.

The Promenade is situated on the Esplanade towards the harbour, away from the main bustle of the seafront. It enjoys a quiet location but is only a couple of minutes’ walk from any of the town’s many attractions.

The nearest railway station is Taunton, where you will find accessible taxis and buses for easy transfer just outside the station entrance.

The Promenade has been thoughtfully converted to suit all guests. The main entrance has a covered, flat walkway with automatic doors. The car park is ramped to allow easy access through the conservatory into the building.

All rooms are ensuite and accessible rooms have a wet-room. You can enjoy our hospitality trays and remote-controlled TV, and for your safety, all rooms are fitted with an emergency call system. Borrow a book from our well-stocked bookcase or relax with a DVD in the comfort of your room.
