The moated palace of the Bishop of Bath and Wells has a wonderful atmosphere as does the market place although its sad to see so many vacant buildings, even there. I was too late for dinner at the Swan and went for a lovely wander in the dark and discovered a delightful looking bistro that is open until 10pm and which I shall pre-book for my next year when I make my annual vist to the nearby Bath & West Show.

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.

wonderful little city, easy for strolling / exploring. great history. location for fab cult film "Hot Fuzz" - check out the local guided tour. good places to eat. good market. parking is at a premium; not many places you can park up overnight (check out one of the car parks at the bus station - can park there for 24 hours).

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.
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.
The location— The Crown at Wells is right in the market square so a great location for tourists. The Cathedral was a short walk away and we were lucky enough to have the weekly market right outside the hotel. The room was large and nice to have a small sitting area with couch and chairs. The hotel is a heritage building so has a lot of character and of course has all the challenges associated with buildings of this age. Nice breakfast.
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 :)
When we arrived we were given a warm welcome by Holly, and homemade cakes were on offer in the beautiful tea room. We stayed in the Master Bedroom which had phenomenal views of the garden, and of Wells beyond. The breakfast was extraordinary. Staff, grounds, location, all were incredible! Every room was a treasure. We felt like guests at a British country house in a marvelous novel!
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.
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: it has a fantastic location closed to the cathedral and the market
- Lovely old building with some great character
- Availbility: we were able to book the room at short notice when most of the other hotels in Wells were fully booked
Perfectly placed hotel for exploring the beautiful city of Wells. We found free parking within yards of the accommodation. We arrived after 4pm, and left before 10am so we were able to park within the cathedral grounds.
The pub below the rooms of the City Arms really exceeded our expectations. The service and food were 5 stars. It was a really fun location for exploring Wells. Really cool place, we loved it.
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.
Wonderful building, brilliant location, good breakfast (especially liked the offer of Marmite), room in the old building when often in such hotels the room is in a nondescri[pt annex.
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.
Set on the beautiful Cathedral Green, it was the perfect base for exploring Wells. Right in the village and attractions accessible by foot which is great.
