Top Wells Cathedral Hotel Reviews

White Hart Inn

White Hart Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely clean room with plenty of hanging and drawer space. The bed was very comfortable with crisp white sheets and fresh pillows. The bath was deep with fab water pressure, plenty of room in the bathroom too. There was a fan in the room which was useful. Tea, coffee, sugar, milk and water all supplied as well as a dog welcome pack which was a nice touch. A peaceful place to stay. Staff were polite and helpful. There was a Jazz band on one night in the bar who were superb but not audible in my room. Parking was no problem by the Cathedral."

A very beautiful village with lots of history. Michael was very welcoming. Anything we needed was no trouble. He told us some amazing places to visit. We got to see the farm and meet the cows. Definitely will be going back."

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."
