Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's prime location, often highlighting its central position near Wells Cathedral and the beautiful views. The friendly and helpful staff received positive mentions, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The on-site restaurant, especially noted for its Italian cuisine, was frequently appreciated. Some guests noted minor issues such as small showers, narrow stairs typical of historic buildings, and limited parking, but these did not overshadow the overall positive experience. The rooms were described as comfortable and clean, with some comments on bed comfort and room size being neutral rather than negative.
