Top Vicar's Close Hotel Reviews

The Swan Hotel Wells

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time in Wells and The Swan Hotel and it won’t be our last. All of the staff made us feel welcome and our room was very comfortable (especially the warm bathroom). We were only staying one night and only had the chance to sample the breakfast but the ambience and quality of food was excellent. As family live nearby we’ve been told the Sunday roast is worth another visit and as the hotel is central to everything, we will definitely be back."

White Hart Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Had a brilliant stay here. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was clean, spacious and had everything you'd need. Location was excellent, right in the middle of the city. And the pub itself was amazing, with a great selection of beers and some of the best pub food I've ever eaten. Will definitely be returning if we end up back in Wells"

Town House in Central Wells with parking

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautifully decorated, clean to a very high standard and very well equipped with kitchen and cooking essentials, and lovely good quality linen and towels. Situated right in the heart of Wells, with easy walking distance to Cathedral and Waitrose it was in a very quiet area with no traffic noise, and a dedicated parking space. Thank you for a lovely stay and for the complimentary bottle of bubbles. A perfect place to stay."
