    A great place to stay when visiting Wells.

    I throughly enjoyed my stay in Wells, and at St Etheldreda's Cottage which was perfect for my requirements. The cottage was tucked away in a very quiet and safe enclosed courtyard, with a small garden in front. An easy few minutes walk from the high street, with plenty of good shops, cafes and restaurants. The magnificent Cathedral is a must visit. I enjoyed the Evensong service which was very calming. A memorable experience listening to the choristers in such a historic and acoustic setting. The excellent Full Moon Pub provides a good place for roadside parking near the cottage. Once finding a space I left my car there for the duration of my stay. Thanks to Helen my host for looking after my booking and arrangements. Highly recommend place to stay in Wells. Tony.

    Just be aware of parking in Wells. There are restrictions that need to be navigated but these are not insurmountable. There are a number of car parks within walking distance and our use of the parking app made extending the time a doddle and all from the comfort of the cottage.

    Beautifully renovated cottage property located in the centre of a historic and beautiful city. The hosts thoughtful and caring renovation is matched by their diligence and detail in ensuring our trip went without a hitch and that we made most of our stay.

    Parking was a bit of an issue but we managed. A bit more space at the end of the bed would have been nice but these are very small things. We loved the stay.

    The location was perfect. The house and decor were lovely. Information provided by the owners was excellent and very helpful. Wells is great place to visit with plenty to see in the local area.

    Everything. Bijou. Beautifully styled, practically equipped, a pretty little garden with bench/bistro table and chairs for sunny days. The whole property was spotlessly clean, a perfect base for a visit to Wells just a few minute’s walk away to the Cathedral and numerous cafes and restaurants. If you walk along the adjacent road, Silver Street, and you come out at the Bishop’s Moat, a lovely walk. Helen & Mark provided so much information on what to do and where to go - very helpful hosts.

    The only slight inconvenience was parking. It wasn't too bad finding on street parking in February but could be a problem in the height of the tourist season!

    The cottage was in a very peaceful close. We were unaware of any noise from neighbours. It was very well maintained and equipped and ideal for exploring Wells. We didn't meet the owners but they kept us very well informed and sent several friendly messages!

    Can’t criticise anything.

    Beautiful cottage which is very well appointed. All appliances and untensils required for a self catering break were provided by Mark and Helen. The cottage was impeccably clean and very tidy. It’s location is central to all that Wells has to offer whether it be tourist attractions or hostelries and restaurants (of which Wells has many). Helen was a superb hostess who sent us several mails containing information to make our stay go without a hitch, a lovely touch was a beautiful vase of fresh flowers awaiting us along with some useful and very accommodating supplies!!

    We loved everything about the cottage, a really interesting place to say, the attention to detail was amazing! Very well equipped throughout, a real home from home. The parking was a challenge, but persevere…it is well worth it! The location couldn’t be better, very close to everything in Wells but in such a peaceful row of cottages. Lovely little garden too. Highly recommend. Thank you Helen and Mark

    The cottage was in an excellent location in Wells and just a few minutes walk from all the main attractions. It was immaculately clean , beautifully presented and had everything you could possibly need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We loved and appreciated all the personal touches which gave the cottage such character. It was extremely quiet and we both slept so well on beautiful white cotton bed linen and very comfortable pillows. Thank you Helen and Mark for the fresh flowers,coffee, tea,milk and lavender shortbread which were waiting for us when we arrived. We would recommend the cottage unreservedly as a perfect place to enjoy Wells.

    Absolutely everything. The cottage was absolutely, totally, completely spotless. It was very comfortable, having been fitted to a very high spec. It had everything we wanted and more. Everything from the heating to the shower, to the oven, to the TV worked beautifully. The bed linen and towels were fab. Our hosts, Helen and Mark were great hosts, keeping us informed and sending us oodles of really helpful information. My advice - book a holiday here, you won't be disappointed!

    The street parking is a pain, but don't let it put you off. the cottage itself easily trumps that issue.

    We had a great stay, the cottage is really nice and cosy over 3 levels. Well equipped kitchen too for making breakfast. The location is perfect for visiting the rest of the town and cathedral. A pint in the 'Full Moon' pub is a must too.
