+ Great breakfast, very comfortable room overlooking the street, fabulous location for exploring the main sights of Wells, such a pretty city.
− Entry to the car parking area was narrow and the car park spaces were tight, so we were thankful to have a small car. We would recommend getting there earlier in the day to ensure you get a good parking space.
