All of the staff are amazing and extremely welcoming and kind. The family room was perfect for us and our 3 boys. They children all loved the play room with all the games and activities.
We were really impressed with the evening meals and choice of breakfast.
Over the moon with our trip and just wish we’d booked longer! Will definitely be back!

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…

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 most comfortable room I’ve ever stayed in. The staff is fantastic, the breakfast is delicious and the location is amazing. Wells, and the Swan hotel was my favorite part of my England trip. The only thing I caution you on is that the parking is very small, probably 20 or so cars and the entrance is EXTREMELY narrow. So take it slow and make sure you got the extra insurance on the rental car. Lol.
Also, the price I paid was absolutely insane with how cheap it is for what I got.
The place is amazing for it is an old, 17th century place. It ia basicely facing the cathedral even if not direct view on it. The rooms are quiet and simple but pleasant comfort. There is no luxury there, just pleasantly ancient and beautiful especially the pub with attractions sometimes like a band singing but the hotel is quiet. And it is as a foreign tourist great fun to live abive a pub and spend the evening drinking a glass of wine or else in "our pub"
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 :)
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.
i really like the history and style of the building. It was full of character. the view of the cathedral from my room was amazing and I felt really grateful. the only down fall was there wasn’t parking on site. however, was cheap car parks that wasn’t too far from the hotel. The reception staff was lovely and really helpful also. Wells is a very pretty city and it is close to Glastonbury. Great location
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.
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.
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.
The location is perfect for for visiting the great attractions and restaurants of Wells and being able to park at the hotel was key.
The garden area is perfect for enjoying the view towards the Cathedral.
The location of the hotel is right on the Cathedral Close and is ideal for visiting Wells to see the main sites. The on-site restaurant, Rugatinos, is well worth a visit. Excellent food and service.
Lovely old pub/hotel, with freindly, staff, a great location in the town center and opposite the loveley cathedral, pretty and a smallest city, plenty to see too, and lots of places to eat,
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.
Spacious room, fab location, discounted rate for the cave when staying at the hotel.
