Very helpful and friendly staff, good breakfast, comfortable room and nicer than staying in a Travelodge or somewhere. Delivered everything I expected for the price and the star rating.… More

— Peter (Toft, GB), February 18, 2009

This restored 15th century coaching inn is situated in the heart of the small medieval city of Wells, by the cathedral green, just metres away from the ancient marketplace.

Situated in the city centre, the hotel is a great base from which to discover historic Wells and the surrounding areas of beauty and interest in Somerset. Bristol, Bath, Glastonbury, Cheddar, Clarks Village, Wookey Hole and Longleat are all close by.

The White Hart Hotel, together with Brufani's Restaurant, is now a well-established fixture in Wells, offering bed and breakfast accommodation, with a full cooked English breakfast included in the room rate. The hotel offer 15 refurbished en suite bedrooms, a large function and banqueting suite and a ground-floor restaurant. All of the rooms are individually decorated and many still retain some of the more interesting original historical features of the building, while simultaneously incorporating modern comforts and facilities.

Hotel Rooms: 15.

Hotel information

The Harts Head Suite is the hotel’s self-contained conference and banqueting room and is situated on the first floor. October 2002 saw the completion of extensive renovations to the suite, resulting in one of the largest conference and banqueting suites in the area.

The suite is ideal for a wide variety of conference and meeting uses and can be set up in a boardroom, theatre, horseshoe or classroom-style arrangement. When set up in a theatre-style layout, the suite can accommodate up to 150 people. This formal meeting room includes audiovisual facilities, and the available conference facilities include a flip chart, overhead projector, projection screen, TV and video and fax and photocopier. The hotel also offers secretarial services, the services of a conference coordinator, free car parking, syndicate areas, cordials and mints. The large, light, airy room has large windows, offering plenty of natural daylight.

The facilities include an adjoining bar, which also makes the suite ideal for weddings, discos and large-scale parties, as well as smaller gatherings, such as dinner parties. The suite can accommodate up to 120 seated guests or 200 guests for a buffet or disco. There is a generous selection of competitively priced menus available for your event and the experienced staff can offer help and guidance with any wedding or other function. The hotel can also entertain smaller dinner parties of 30 to 40 guests.

Food & beverage

Brufani's, the hotel’s own restaurant, has a wide-ranging à la carte menu, with ingredients selected and bought each day from local suppliers.

Choose from dishes such as salad of avocado, melon and stilton; sun-dried tomato and goat’s cheese tartlet; or poached salmon fillet in lobster sauce.

There are also has daily specials of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes.

The restaurant and bar has the feel of a traditional coaching inn, with features such as a real log fire.

Area information

Located at the entrance to the cathedral green and just metres away from the ancient marketplace, the hotel is in a great location for exploring historic Wells and all of the points of interest and areas of natural beauty in the surrounding regions.

Wells is the smallest city in England, with a population of just over 11,000. The city is set in the foothills of the Mendips, with the Somerset Levels and Moors to the south. Wells’ Cathedral is probably one of the finest examples of a gothic cathedral anywhere in Europe. With Vicars' Close and the Bishop's Palace and its moat next door, the cathedral is a great place for a memorable visit.

The famous Wookey Hole Caves are situated on the outskirts of Wells. The caves were once owned by Madame Tussaud’s and the caverns themselves are breathtaking. Guided tours are available and the site also boasts the oldest working paper mill in Britain and a marvellous 19th century penny arcade.

The spectacular Cheddar Gorge, with its caves and wonderful walks, is an attraction in itself. Owned by the Marquis of Bath, the gorge offers a wealth of natural beauty and is well worth a visit.

Db Mature couple Bridgend, United Kingdom May 30, 2009	Good position to view cathedral and Wells town. Shortage of staff to greet us.No heat in bedroom. Internet advises 5 star but this applied only to the kitchen when we got there! Bathroom taps on the wrong way round so we didn't get hot water initially. No telephone to contact reception.	4

James Mature couple Arundel, United Kingdom May 17, 2009	The room was spacious, and the staff were graet and helpfull Car parking can be difficult	7.5
Dave With friends Tonbridge, United Kingdom May 11, 2009	Superb location in the heart of Wells city, directly opposite the impressive cathedral. Staff were all very friendly and accomodating and the breakfast was very good. There's a very good Indian restuarant two doors down the road too! The rooms were disappointing for the £107 fee. The building is 15th century and had hoped for some romance and history but the rooms are Chalet style in converted outbuildings and whilst adequate the furnishings feel a little tired and the soundproofing between rooms ought to be better. The "carpark" is terrifyingly cramped with lots of pointy stone edges to scrape careless shiny surfaces.	7

Bernie Mature couple Wirral, United Kingdom April 8, 2009	It was central to the Catherdral and the other attractions. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Anonymous Mature couple United Kingdom February 4, 2009	breakfast was excellent - better would be very difficult to find. Service also excellent - staff friendly and thorough. Restaurant owned by the hotel across the road serves superb food. The room and the hotel was cold and the heating went off noticeably at odd times. The shower is not a hotel shower and is no good. The place is drafty because of windows stuck open. The bathroom carpet was not clean. Parking is risky. Needs complete workover. A great pity really.	6
