Fabulous small city. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Fabulous small city. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The Conservative club in the market square made us fresh sandwiches to takeaway even though take away wasn't on the menu. The city itself was very clean and well cared for. Independent shops a delight, market has an interesting mix of stalls. Well worth a visit you need more that an overnight visit to see it all. Even though the center is easy to walk around you need a whole day extra to visit the gardens and cathedral.

'England's smallest city' is worth the detour - and it is a detour. Set in lovely countryside, the unmissable sights are the beautiful Cathedral and historic Bishop's Palace in its wonderful gardens (worth getting a joint ticket for both). A great place for a weekend away, with a buzzing market on Saturday mornings and plenty of thriving independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Root on Sadler Street was especially good - mainly but not exclusively vegetarian and vegan, really inventive and fantastic quality ingredients and friendly service. There are plenty of friendly pubs serving great local beer and cider. Parking around the city centre takes luck or planning or both, but otherwise it's easy to walk everywhere.

Our trip was specifically to visit the rural levels and also to catch up on a friend in the area. We did not visit Wells on this occasion so can't comment specifically. However if you want to be well situated to explore the area Wookey Hole and its hotel is a good place to be. Locally there is the Ebor Gorge within walking distance and road access to most of the area is accessible although you must be happy driving on some narrow roads. Hotel is definitely not luxury but is clean and convenient with excellent staff. Good value for money if looking for convenience rather than luxury.

Good place to visit.
Good place to visit. Cathedral and Bishop's Palace are really lovely.
City centre has a lovely vibe and there are lots of shops and restaurants.
It's very handy for exploring the rest of the area and only a short drive from Cheddar Gorge.

We visited Wells Cathedral, which is an absolutely stunning place, the staff are very welcoming and the donation system is very reasonable. The only thing I would say is if there is anyone with Auditory sensory issue, check if they are cleaning the organ before going in as this did dampen my experience not knowing at the time. The library is up a set of s prial stairs so not accessible, however if you have someone willing to run up and take some pictures, it does look like a wonderful place.
The most comfortable room I’ve ever stayed in. The staff is fantastic, the breakfast is delicious and the location is amazing. Wells, and the Swan hotel was my favorite part of my England trip. The only thing I caution you on is that the parking is very small, probably 20 or so cars and the entrance is EXTREMELY narrow. So take it slow and make sure you got the extra insurance on the rental car. Lol.
Also, the price I paid was absolutely insane with how cheap it is for what I got.
This property is fabulous! The decor is lovely, the garden is gorgeous, the beds are so comfortable, and the shower has great water pressure. I kind of want to move in.
Do yourself a favor and make the walk into Wells across the Palace Fields. The approach to the city is fantastic and you can also see the Glastonbury Tor. This property was perfect in every way. I would love to come back for another visit. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
The apartment was excellent, a great location, lots of home comforts. Really couldn't fault it. The owners were really helpful and friendly. Would 100% stay here again. Location wise it was great for us as we could walk into Wells (about 40 mins) and there were 3 pubs in walking distance to choose from in the evening. We had dinner at the Burcott Inn opposite and highly recommend booking a table there. Thanks so much :)
This hotel/restaurant is housed in the walls of Wells Cathedral precinct. The stairs and passages to the space above the 14th century arch have been safely and cleverly adapted. We loved climbing those ancient spiral steps complete with a modern stout rope handhold. Real atmosphere. Everything you needed in the room and quaint but modern bathroom a few steps down.
The briefing was more than adequate.
Sarah, hotel owner was fantastic, couldn't do enough for us. Even made her washing machine available to us.
Terrific room, tastefully decorated with extras. Great bathroom, clean and functional.
All staff in hotel were welcoming. Parking was an issue but made easy with staff assistance.
Easy walk up to market square and stunning Wells Cathedral
Everything you could think of was provided. It was a beautiful apartment right in the centre of Wells. It was spacious with lots of personal touches which made it very comfortable. My sister and I often stay at The Swan Hotel in Wells but this apartment will now be our first go to when booking further trips to Wells.
We've stayed at the Crown at Wells for 5 Christmas breaks, and obviously we love the place. It overlooks the square and the beautiful Cathedral( providing you have one of the front rooms). The staff are friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant is very good. It's a great place to stay. Highly recommended.
The Ancient Gatehouse is in a great location and we were blown away by the superb Italian restaurant which is part of the hotel and the ability to enjoy the food and wine while looking straight across the cathedral green to Wells Cathedral. It was magical. All the staff were really friendly and engaging.
Fantastic location with stunning views across the town of Wells. A very warm welcome, spacious, comfortable and very clean room. An outstanding place to rest and recoup after a long day travelling and working. Superb, freshly prepared breakfast and excellent service. A Five Star stay.
Location is second to none. The hotel is located just opposite the Wells cathedral. It is 5min walk from the town center where there is a range of places to eat or have coffee.
If you don't mind a longer walk the Weatherspoon pub serves a good breakfast for a reasonable price.
A comfortable stay in a Grade 2 listed 15th Century Inn in the heart of England's smallest city The Gothic Cathedral, Bishops Palace and Town Museum are all within a short stroll. The hotel has a reasonable restaurant and a bar serving local real ales and cider.
Hosts Julie and David...welcoming, willing and fun to visit with. Their hospitality was the high point of our Wells/Glastonbury stop. Dinder is great location and situation for a stay in this somerset area. Cozy room, 5* bathroom, excellent breakfast...
Location is ideal for most attractions in Somerset, including Cheddar Caves, Wells Cathedral,and lots of other locations. The staff at the hotel were lovely, nothing was too much trouble.
Everything. Location, staff, facilities, breakfast, cleanliness, spacious room, dining. A really lovely hotel in the middle of Wells and so close to restaurants and cafes and attractions.
This is a truly exceptional family run boutique hotel experience. Everything about Beryl is welcoming and unique. It was the perfect environment from which to explore Wells.
Good large room in a location handy for the centre of Wells. Table and chairs in room to make continental breakfast easy. Good view of Glastonbury Tor over neighboring houses.
