We had a lovely stay in this cottage! It was easy to find and very conveniently located, only a short walk into the city centre if you don’t want to pay for parking and close to lots of places of interest outside Wells too (Cheddar, Wookey, Glastonbury etc). The cottage itself has everything you’d need, including some thoughtful extras like a selection of spices for cooking and some dvds for entertainment. It was very clean and the cottage was nice and airy despite the warm(ish) weather. We did not have an issue with the road noise and Kim & Doug were also very friendly and welcoming :)

Lovely characterful cottage . Clean with everything one needed. Short walk into Wells . Only down side is that it is on a busy road and you can hear the lorry’s hurtling past . We could hear the traffic at night but if you sleep in the back room you can’t hear the traffic noise . Alternatively bring earplugs !!
