I booked the George Inn at 7pm on a Sunday evening of a BH weekend after getting rained off from my camping. The place was still busy with the Sunday lunch crowd and clearly the host couple had been flat out busy all day. Nevertheless they were both absolutely charming and quickly showed me a lovely comfortable room and got me a meal and a pint followed by some excellent home made Victoria sponge. Before long I was co-opted onto one of the pub quizz teams and had a great evening in front of the toasty open fire with my new friends. Lovely people who run a great little Inn.

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.
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.
Just perfect really. Great location just off of A371 near Wells. We stayed in Dairy Cottage which is attached to the main farm house. It has its own little outside area. The cottage was well equipped and really comfortable and very quiet. You are far enough from the A371 so not disturbed by it. I didn't meet the owner Carol, everything was organised via Booking / text messages but Carol was on hand should there have been any issues. I wouldn't hesitate in thoroughly recommend this cottage.
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.
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.
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...
Location was quiet and rural with a large car park. Very well situated for Wells and the surrounding area. Breakfast was great.
Owner was very helpful in suggesting places to eat for the evening. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable.
Stayed in Wells a number of times and this is the nicest hotel. Rooms are large and comfortable. Plenty of parking. Fantastic view over the Cathedral and lovely little garden across the road, ideal for a drink on a warm evening.
Great location in centre of wells. Hotel full of character but modern and comfortable. Staff friendly. Lovely courtyard overlooking the cathedral perfect for enjoying a drink in the sun. Great cocktails in the lovely bar.
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.
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.
Charming hotel just outside the Cheddar Gorge! Comfortable rooms. Excellent value! Highly recommend! Restaurant available onsite for dinner and breakfast.
