Well regarded hotel in this beautiful city

Pros: Central - good dining - good car park, although you may have some difficulty with the Bentley
Cons: Nothing
Location: Excellent location in this historic town (Wells). Don't bother with Glastonbury which appears rather run down
Excellent in every way. We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of the square, the fabulous Cathedral and the visit to the Bishop's Palace

Excellent central hotel for Wells and environs

Hotel was faultless. However, we discovered the room rate was £114.50, where we had paid £143 through online agent. We then were asked to pay £21 for breakfast on top. Extortionate price! Hotel staff were charming and did not let us pay the extra for breakfast as we were obvoiusly upset at the overall cost. Impressed with the hotel. Horrorfied by online price.
