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.
It is always a pleasure to come back to Wells and to the Swan hotel. We visit quite regularly, and the Swan always offers a welcoming and homely atmosphere.
Staff is very attentive, always kind and helpful.
Rooms are all different and unique. We particularly like the coach house, where some of the original architectural features are still visible.
The new manager, Martin, is very friendly and went the extra mile to make sure our stay was enjoyable from start to finish.
We can't wait to be back 🙂
The apartment was excellent, a great location, lots of home comforts. Really couldn't fault it. The owners were really helpful and friendly. Would 100% stay here again. Location wise it was great for us as we could walk into Wells (about 40 mins) and there were 3 pubs in walking distance to choose from in the evening. We had dinner at the Burcott Inn opposite and highly recommend booking a table there. Thanks so much :)
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.
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
What an amazing place to stay! My room had a direct view of the cathedral and grounds, was sublimely quiet, and very well-appointed. Check-in was super easy, the staff were very incredibly pleasant, and the pasta carbonara from their restaurant downstairs was to die for. I hope someday to be able to stay here again!
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 second to none. The hotel is located just opposite the Wells cathedral. It is 5min walk from the town center where there is a range of places to eat or have coffee.
If you don't mind a longer walk the Weatherspoon pub serves a good breakfast for a reasonable price.
beautifully located in the centre of Wells and good view of Wells Cathedral from our 2nd floor room- well worth the walk up
Good breakfast with wide choice of cooked breakfasts
Hotel showed it is possible to have nice facilities in very old building
Everything!!
Location, decor, quirky layout, staff….view is fabulous!!
the back has fabulous views of Wells Cathedral.
I booked this particular hotel for 2 reasons, the decor of the room & views…both certainly was worth it!
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.
The pub below the rooms of the City Arms really exceeded our expectations. The service and food were 5 stars. It was a really fun location for exploring Wells. Really cool place, we loved it.
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.
This modern hotel is in a very good location for tourists. There is plenty of free parking. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was very good value for money.
