Large apartment with loads of space. Terri is a great host. Excellent breakfast prepared by her friends. Terri made us reservations at The George Inn, which was an excellent choice for dinner.

I booked the George Inn at 7pm on a Sunday evening of a BH weekend after getting rained off from my camping. The place was still busy with the Sunday lunch crowd and clearly the host couple had been flat out busy all day. Nevertheless they were both absolutely charming and quickly showed me a lovely comfortable room and got me a meal and a pint followed by some excellent home made Victoria sponge. Before long I was co-opted onto one of the pub quizz teams and had a great evening in front of the toasty open fire with my new friends. Lovely people who run a great little Inn.

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.
We had a good experience from the outset, being warmly welcomed and able to check in to our room ahead of time. The hotel sent useful information on the various public parking options in Wells and so their not having guest parking of their own was not a problem. We had the superior double with lovely views overlooking the green and the Cathedral. The food in the Rugantino restaurant was excellent. The building is old and full of character - expect to hear other guests on the creaky stairs.
Wells is magical and having the view of the cathedral like we scored from both rooms is a rare treat. Single room is actually quite spacious, only the double room was tight, but this was understandable. Bathroom was modern and very clean, double room had a large closet, and a small table with chair. Our check-in was a breeze,- we were helped with our bags without asking and parking suggestion worked out very well. Our interaction with members of staff was pleasant.
The place is amazing for it is an old, 17th century place. It ia basicely facing the cathedral even if not direct view on it. The rooms are quiet and simple but pleasant comfort. There is no luxury there, just pleasantly ancient and beautiful especially the pub with attractions sometimes like a band singing but the hotel is quiet. And it is as a foreign tourist great fun to live abive a pub and spend the evening drinking a glass of wine or else in "our pub"
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
Excellent service from the staff. Rooms were comfortable and well equipped. Great location to visit Wells.
We celebrated my daughter's 18th, made all the more perfect, when they gave her a beautiful bouquet of flowers and glass of prosecco.on the day of her birthday. Thank you to the staff at Swan Hotel. We'd definitely stay there again.
Lovely staff and perfect location for our needs - we were touring the historic side of Wells. Quaint room and good facilities with thoughtful touches based on the weather. We had a great dinner and had a good nights sleep. Recommended for people happy to stay in an Inn type environment with evening food and drinks downstairs.
What a find… An exceptional stay, at an exceptional hotel, with the most exceptional staff! We had a fantastic time, would absolutely recommend & we’ll be back again! Thanks to all the staff who made our stay a memorable one… & to the housekeeper who made our 5 yr old daughter feel like an absolute VIP - You’re amazing!
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.
Location is excellent, easy walking to town, easy driving access. Room was very clean and comfortable. Tony met us at the door and filled us in on the room, all things Wells related, and what to find beyond. Thank you Tony! Fresh fruit and juice was delicious! Fresh foods for continental 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
Wells is delightful and the flat is just a ten minute walk to the centre.
It was decorated to a high standard - a real home from home.
We spent a lovely time frequenting the many coffee shops and eateries.
Staff very friendly and chatty on check in, in the bar and at breakfast, funny, well trained and with good tips (taxis, drinking spots, etc). Hotel is in a great location to get to Wells, Cheddar and Bath.
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.
A great place to stay in the heart of Wells!
Good sized room with a really comfortable bed. Helpful staff and a cute terrace to sit out on in the evening with a pint!
