This was our second stay at the lookout as we enjoyed it so much last year. The accommodation is spacious and airy, and the lounge area is very comfortable. The main bedroom has a lovely superking size bed and you can see the pinewoods from the window. It has the added benefit of a parking space, which is a bonus in Wells, and is a short walk to the quay and local amenities.
