我非常喜歡這家酒店的周邊環境，完全是中世紀的風格，門口有一家修道院，可以參觀，非常壯觀。還有一個類似城堡的古建築，周邊有護城河，河裡有天鵝。房間需要爬樓梯上樓，樓梯很有趣。早餐是點餐制。非常好吃。有麪包香腸炒蛋。還有培根。還有布萊克布丁。車可以停在門口。我們是晚上9點到的，第2天10:00走的。這段時間沒有收費。我如果再去wells,還會選擇這家酒店。感謝店家的熱情款待！令人賓至如歸。

A little gem of a hotel. Narrow and steep staircases so probably not ideal for people with mobility issues but it really is beautiful. I stayed in room 4, small and pretty with the most amazing view of the cathedral. Central location, comfortable and clean and excellent value for money.

Quaint hotel in town!
Great location - right in the center of town! Also has a restaurant, but it was full and I could not have dinner there - must be good! Had view of the cathedral from my room, which was a 3min walk - glorious! Very quiet as facing the back. Room was single, not big but plenty for one; bathroom was large. Access to the room was up 2 flights of stairs, first one OK, second one "treacherously steep and narrow!" - good if you are in good shape! Breakfast was very good.

Comfortable stay in the middle of Wells.
You have to accept that rooms have to fit into an old building. Perfectly comfortable, but rooms and bathrooms could do with a bit of attention. Wonky shelves, chipped paint. But all clean and comfortable.
Service is very good.
Great view of the cathedra.
