Guests say

Fishmans' Retreat in Wells-next-the-Sea is praised for its excellent location, comfort, and cleanliness.

While some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements are noted, the overall sentiment is positive with many guests expressing a desire to return.

The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and tidy upon arrival. However, there are isolated mentions of areas needing attention, such as dog waste in the garden and food residue on dishes, which slightly impact the overall cleanliness score.

The location is highly commended for its convenience, being a short walk from the town and quay. Guests value the easy access to local amenities and attractions, contributing to a high location score.

Comfort is well-regarded, with guests mentioning comfortable beds and furnishings. Some guests found the mattresses too firm and noted noise issues, which slightly reduce the comfort score.

Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathrooms. However, guests have pointed out maintenance issues such as difficult-to-lock doors, a broken toilet seat, and incomplete finishes. The TV and Wi-Fi also received mixed reviews, affecting the facilities score.

While guests have made suggestions for improvements and mentioned the lack of a welcome pack, there are no specific references to gifts or thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.
