White Hart Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable, clean room. Great value for money. Second time I've stayed here and I'm sure I'll be back again"

Town House in Central Wells with parking

8/10 Good

"This was a lovely place to stay so close to the centre of Wells and all that it has to offer. We had a safe and secure place to keep our bicycles and a car parking space as well which is hard to find in the centre of Wells."

The Ancient Gatehouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was lovely, very well situated with wonderful views of the Cathedral. The staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast was very good, with local produce and additional extras - nothing was too much trouble. The building is very old and I would assume listed so the decor reflects that in keeping the original features such as the steep stairs which were actually fine to climb. Overall lovely stay and would definitely stay again."

Chapterhouse - Hot tub - Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very comfortable and cosy property."

Rennovated 2 bed dog friendly cosy cottage in central Wells

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean well equipped cottage with welcoming gifts from the host for us and the dog. We highly recommend this cottage."

The Wesley Apartment

10/10 Excellent

Spacious Townhouse, Private Parking, Central Wells

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our 6 nights at the wells townhouse. The house was clean and well appointed. Will was quick to respond to any questions we had and the location couldn’t have been more perfect, just minutes to the city center."

St Etheldreda's Cottage, lovingly restored and impeccably presented

10/10 Excellent

"A beautifully decorated and welcoming home. It was a pleasure to be able to stay there. Everything was provided that we might have needed. No problem parking in the adjacent street. Very good bus service to Glastonbury where we spent a lovely day and buses to plenty of other places if we’d had a longer stay. Wells is a lovely and quite compact city and we had a great time just pottering round all the interesting places. The cathedral is magnificent and well worth a guided tour. The only downside was the journey home with very long traffic jams! Thanks to Helen and Mark for their hospitality."

Strawberry Line, Flat 1
