Breakfast was good. Dinner was mediocre.

Lovely decor. Lively friendly vibe. Comfortable bed with good quality linen. Very clean. Excellent shower with up market toiletries. Nice staff. Great wine bar with food available downstairs. Well sound proofed room. Tea and coffee making facilities. Good advice as to where to head for breakfast. Nice location just on the edge of the central part of the city.

Absolutely brilliant stay. Sarah and the girls made us all feel very welcome and the rooms were very comfortable. Great pubs nearby and Wells a short drive away. Highly recommend!

This is an exquisite family home which guests are lucky to share. Our room, Pepecorn, had a luxury 4 poster, view onto open fields, a seating area, separate small coffee room and thence on to a spotlessly clean ensuite complete with walk in shower.
We had yoghurt/porridge staters for breakfast followed by the ‘full English’ which was delicious.
As it was early May when we stayed here, we didn’t brave the use of the outdoor swimming pool…

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.

Wells is a beautiful, small city, dominated by it's immense Cathedral. We very much enjoyed both. We spent time within the Cathedral, enjoying it's beauty, a service, and a concert. The shops and restaurants were varied and good, and the market exceptional. The Bishop Palace Gardens were our final treat with it's restful water gardens. All in all an ideal short holiday destination.
My partner and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at The Crown at Wells! It has the perfect location for exploring Wells Cathedral, Bishop’s Palace, shops, walks all on foot. As guests of The Crown we had 20% off the entrance fee for Bishop’s Palace. Our room was comfortable and modern, with a cute four poster bed and fancy bath and shower units. It looked out on Market Square and we could even see the cathedral from our window. Yet it was quiet at night with no traffic noise at all. The staff was brilliant and the breakfast was great.
We stayed 2 nights in early May. This is a lovely guesthouse in a historic building. Plenty of parking, a comfortable room, delicious breakfasts, and a perfect location for visiting Wells and Glastonbury. Louise & Steve were great hosts. We even had the opportunity to see how the mill works—thank you, Steve. And Louise, your homemade breads are wonderful! We enjoyed walking to the Ring O’ Bells for good food and drinks. The pub across the road was in the process of reopening so we didn’t have a chance to check it out.
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!
First of all the owner showed us warm hospitality. I really enjoyed the location. The area surroundings around our cute apartment, was beyond my expectations. The countryside was beautiful. I even took a walk and it was so close to the city center. Anyone planning a trip to Wells, consider this cozy studio apartment. Be warned that this place is a gem and probably will book up quickly as the tourist season approaches.
We stayed at the Woodstore for a short break before dropping our daughter off to her first year at University. An amazing house, spotlessly clean and perfect for a short stay. Very close to the beautiful city of Wells and its pubs and restaurants. The ability to use the pool and sauna was a massive plus after a day's touring. The welcome pack, which included treats for dogs and people was very welcome.
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.
The location was excellent. I came by public transport, 376 from Bristol and the bus stop was just around the corner from the hotel. Wells is such a small city everything is within walking distance as is the cathedral, Bishop's Palace, pubs and restaurants from the hotel. My room was large and very comfortable and quiet. Superb breakfast with a great choice of cooked items
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
Absolutely loved the hotel. Located right next to the caves (which I didn't visit. Next time! ) and close to Cheddar, Wells, Glastonbury. Fabulous walks.
Breakfast and dinner were both very well prepared and delicious. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was excellent, great water-pressure (it's a thing... ;) ) Wifi was perfect.
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.
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.
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.
Room was excellent and the hotel was in the centre of Wells so everywhere was walkable. We had a lovely view across the green to the Cathedral. Very clean and tidy.
