You cannot fault its cleanliness or proximity to the town of wells. Itâs a nice place to stay. I would definitely stay there again. There are one or two things that could be improved. The shower in the en suite was cold, and would heat up no matter what you did to it. The sofa in the lounge is very comfy, however when you have more than 2 people staying you need another comfy sofa or armchair. Also a few tea bags in the kitchen wouldnât go amiss

It's very comfortable and ideally located for the centre of Wells, being only a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace. There is also a very handy Tesco Superstore which is literally a 2 minute walk away, and a Waitrose which is just 3-4 minutes drive. The only slight glitch with our stay was a problem with the hot water system. However, a quick phone call to the owner Stuart, who is a charming gentleman and very helpful, and the problem was dealt with.

It is in a perfect location for us as we love to walk into Wells & it has parking. The apartment is so light, spacious & very quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay. If only it felt a little more cared for & had a 2nd comfy sofa instead of 3 ( nice looking) but uncomfortable chairs. It would be perfect in every way. However this doesnât put us off coming back, weâve already booked a 4th visit.
