The Sheep and Penguin

The Sheep and Penguin

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay here. Very centrally located, beautifully decorated (we stayed in "Gentoo" room....gorgeous). As it is an 'Inn', we had a meal the first evening and it was really delicious. Breakfast available Fri, Sat and Sun only, but really lovely and fresh. Everything is high end here, room nibbles, tea making facilities, ensuite, fluffy towels, comfortable bed and bedding. Wonderful. I'd recommend 😊"

White Hart Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely clean room with plenty of hanging and drawer space. The bed was very comfortable with crisp white sheets and fresh pillows. The bath was deep with fab water pressure, plenty of room in the bathroom too. There was a fan in the room which was useful. Tea, coffee, sugar, milk and water all supplied as well as a dog welcome pack which was a nice touch. A peaceful place to stay. Staff were polite and helpful. There was a Jazz band on one night in the bar who were superb but not audible in my room. Parking was no problem by the Cathedral."

"Lovely spacious, clean & comfortable apartment in excellent location few minutes walk to Wells & shops. Good place to stay for exploring other attractions around the area, Cheddar Gorge, Haynes Motor Museum, Bath, etc. I would highly recommend especially for a couple. Not suitable for wheelchair bound or those who have difficulty with stairs as it is situated on the fourth floor with four flights of stairs to climb."

The George Inn

The George Inn

10/10 Excellent
"A 3-star hotel / bed-and-breakfast - very personal, friendly service. The hotel is visited daily by locals buying newspapers. All meals cooked to order, including breakfast - a nice change to the usual experience in hotels nowadays. We turned up at about 4.30pm to find opening time was 5pm - we must have missed this in the instructions. The hotel was open promptly at 5 pm however. On the Sunday the bar closed at 5pm so dinner had to be elsewhere - not a problem for us as we always tend to have a meal in the hotel on the first night, then try other restaurants elsewhere. The owner told us about the history of the hotel - they have been there for around 26 years. All in all, a very relaxed, personal atmosphere, a nice change from the usual hotel experience."
