Spacious Townhouse, Private Parking, Central Wells

"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."
