Fabulous small city. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Fabulous small city. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The Conservative club in the market square made us fresh sandwiches to takeaway even though take away wasn't on the menu. The city itself was very clean and well cared for. Independent shops a delight, market has an interesting mix of stalls. Well worth a visit you need more that an overnight visit to see it all. Even though the center is easy to walk around you need a whole day extra to visit the gardens and cathedral.

'England's smallest city' is worth the detour - and it is a detour. Set in lovely countryside, the unmissable sights are the beautiful Cathedral and historic Bishop's Palace in its wonderful gardens (worth getting a joint ticket for both). A great place for a weekend away, with a buzzing market on Saturday mornings and plenty of thriving independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Root on Sadler Street was especially good - mainly but not exclusively vegetarian and vegan, really inventive and fantastic quality ingredients and friendly service. There are plenty of friendly pubs serving great local beer and cider. Parking around the city centre takes luck or planning or both, but otherwise it's easy to walk everywhere.

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.

wonderful little city, easy for strolling / exploring. great history. location for fab cult film "Hot Fuzz" - check out the local guided tour. good places to eat. good market. parking is at a premium; not many places you can park up overnight (check out one of the car parks at the bus station - can park there for 24 hours).

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.
The staff were amazing and very helpful and polite. The food was first class and nothing was too much trouble. When my wife asked for something vegan that was not on the menu the reply was "the chef can do anything you'd like!" Never had that response before in a restaurant. The location was perfect smack in the centre of Wells and easy to find. Parking is very limited at the hotel but it was the Christmas market weekend.
A lovely old, historic hotel! Location was perfect for walking to the Bishops Palace, Bishops Close and Wells Cathedral. View from our room was lovely out onto the well in Market Square – we had a Double Room with Four Poster Bed. Due to the history, the floors are quite creaky, but this adds a bit to the charm. Staff were very obliging and found us a table when we had arrived quite late. Breakfast was ok.
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
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.
We loved the location of the hotel and the quirky room. The staff were helpful and also found us a table in their restaurant where we ordered their home made pizzas. We also enjoyed a drink on the terrace which was on the green in front of Wells Cathedral... just needed a bit more sunshine!
Hosts Julie and David...welcoming, willing and fun to visit with. Their hospitality was the high point of our Wells/Glastonbury stop. Dinder is great location and situation for a stay in this somerset area. Cozy room, 5* bathroom, excellent breakfast...
Burcott Mill is a beautiful Mill House in a quiet setting in Wookey.
Our suite was beautifully clean and most comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with a good choice on menu.
The hosts were a charming couple and most helpful. Highly recommended.
Very conveniently located to the Bishops' Palace and Wells Cathedral, as well as to many many shops and restaurants. Rooms were comfortable and the staff were very friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and the food was excellent.
Very good location for visiting Wells. Everything was within walking distance. The host was helpful and we received all details promptly. The room was comfortable and clean with good beds. Very good value for money.
Lovely Hotel in a great place next to the caves . Staff very friendly and welcoming one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in a long time . Food was amazing especially breakfast - great choice and cooked to order
the view is amazing of the Wells cathedral, but I’d probably stay in another place and just go for the coffee at the cafe for the view, the interior of the hotel is also very nice but that’s about it.
Location is ideal for most attractions in Somerset, including Cheddar Caves, Wells Cathedral,and lots of other locations. The staff at the hotel were lovely, nothing was too much trouble.
Wonderfully located, charming old hotel....
Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff.
Great breakfasts.
Dog friendly.
Great displays of freshly watered flowers in the street outside.
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.
Very old and historic building right on the edge of the Wells Cathedral grounds. Lovely area to take walks!! Our room also had a lovely old four poster canopy bed.
