"We had a lovely stay here whilst visiting lots of places of interest nearby. The view of the hills was marvellous. It was near to Wells and not too far out from town but rural enough to be peaceful and tranquil. The lodge had everything you needed and the bed was comfy for a good nights sleep that’s all that we could have asked for."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was lovely, very well situated with wonderful views of the Cathedral. The staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast was very good, with local produce and additional extras - nothing was too much trouble. The building is very old and I would assume listed so the decor reflects that in keeping the original features such as the steep stairs which were actually fine to climb. Overall lovely stay and would definitely stay again."
