Verified dog-friendly The Somerset & Dorset Inn
Steeped in local heritage, The Somerset & Dorset Inn pays homage to the famous S&DJR line that once connected the town. Situated right on High Street, it offers a distinct, traditional town-centre retreat away from the immediate seafront buzz.
It makes for a brilliant stop-off point after exploring the high street shops or taking a scenic stroll along the nearby Bridgwater and Taunton Canal path. You can also pair a visit with a trip down to the sandy shoreline by the iconic famous low lighthouse. With its cosy setting and relaxed atmosphere, it is a lovely spot to rest tired paws and enjoy a classic local pint.
