Top Vicar's Close Hotel Reviews

White Hart Inn

10/10 Excellent

"First time for me but I shall definitely return. Everyone so friendly and a cracking steak dinner. Not just a range of local ciders but a chilled range at that. Pretty rare. Place was buzzing with locals which says everything.. If you want a modern budget hotel, go elsewhere. The Hart was around in 1472. Bit more respect for the old lady. A delight. Thanks for looking after me."

The Swan Hotel Wells

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with our huge room! There was a sitting area with couch and comfortable, along with a wonderfully comfy bed. The bathroom was spotless and appeared freshly renovated, and had a beautiful standing tub, with separate shower. We really enjoyed our breakfast. Everything was fresh and beautifully cooked, and service was above and beyond perfect. In fact, all staff we encountered were welcoming and kind."

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."

Chapterhouse - Hot tub - Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

Rennovated 2 bed dog friendly cosy cottage in central Wells

"Lovely clean well equipped cottage with welcoming gifts from the host for us and the dog. We highly recommend this cottage."

The Wesley Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely spacious, clean & comfortable apartment in excellent location few minutes walk to Wells & shops. Good place to stay for exploring other attractions around the area, Cheddar Gorge, Haynes Motor Museum, Bath, etc. I would highly recommend especially for a couple. Not suitable for wheelchair bound or those who have difficulty with stairs as it is situated on the fourth floor with four flights of stairs to climb."

Spacious Townhouse, Private Parking, Central Wells

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our 6 nights at the wells townhouse. The house was clean and well appointed. Will was quick to respond to any questions we had and the location couldn’t have been more perfect, just minutes to the city center."

The West Front, Cathedral View - Hot Tub - Pets - Free Parking & WiFi

10/10 Excellent

"Such an amazing get away. Was meant to stay 4 nights but decided to stay longer. The place was very tranquil and views amazing. Located very close to Wells. A very beautiful village with lots of history. Michael was very welcoming. Anything we needed was no trouble. He told us some amazing places to visit. We got to see the farm and meet the cows. Definitely will be going back."

St Etheldreda's Cottage, lovingly restored and impeccably presented

10/10 Excellent

"A beautifully decorated and welcoming home. It was a pleasure to be able to stay there. Everything was provided that we might have needed. No problem parking in the adjacent street. Very good bus service to Glastonbury where we spent a lovely day and buses to plenty of other places if we’d had a longer stay. Wells is a lovely and quite compact city and we had a great time just pottering round all the interesting places. The cathedral is magnificent and well worth a guided tour. The only downside was the journey home with very long traffic jams! Thanks to Helen and Mark for their hospitality."
