Maggie
It's very comfortable and ideally located for the centre of Wells, being only a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace. There is also a very handy Tesco Superstore which is literally a 2 minute walk away, and a Waitrose which is just 3-4 minutes drive. The only slight glitch with our stay was a problem with the hot water system. However, a quick phone call to the owner Stuart, who is a charming gentleman and very helpful, and the problem was dealt with.

It is in a perfect location for us as we love to walk into Wells & it has parking. The apartment is so light, spacious & very quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay. If only it felt a little more cared for & had a 2nd comfy sofa instead of 3 ( nice looking) but uncomfortable chairs. It would be perfect in every way. However this doesnât put us off coming back, weâve already booked a 4th visit.

Still quiet, safe, warm and spacious. Great location, walking distance to Wells and with parking. Maintenance is required in places especially to the shower room and there needs to be deep cleaning to less used kitchen items, place mats etc. Bedding and towels show signs of wear/ marks. We needed to supply our own soap for one of the bathrooms and also washing up liquid, but no biggie. The new washing machine is great but unless the rubber seal is dried out thoroughly and cleaned between stays, itâs likely to be quickly mildewed as it was already a little smelly of damp and stained, itâs only a few months old. We addressed this during our stay but needs to be kept on top of. None of this detracted from our stay at all, all minor, and we would stay again.
