We stayed at the Crown at Wells & Anton's Bistrot on the night of May 13th 2012, just for one night. The location of the hotel could not be any more central, right in the Market Place and close to the Cathederal and Bishop's Palace. Have to say that the double room (room 6) was a little small although the... More

We chose this place because it takes dogs in some rooms and has parking - if you leave the dog in the car while you're eating you don't want to park miles away. But I really liked this place - you have the history but combined with smart, attractive decor and all the staff we dealt with were friendly, helpful... More

We stayed in Wells to visit some friends. I made the mistake of assuming that with the proximity of Babington House, that there would be some boutique hotels here. The places to stay are much more traditional than this - the sort of B&B that seems not to have changed in 30 years. If that is what you are expecting,... More

The Crown in Wells is a fantastic 15th Century Inn that has bags of character and great location on the market square. My wife and I stayed there on a Friday night as we had an event in Shepton Mallet to go to on the Saturday. We booked last minute so they only had a twin room remaining. We were... More

We stayed at The Crown 33 years ago for our honeymoon, we re-visited for coffee a couple of years back and then this year decided to stay just after Easter. We wanted to escape work, not think, just relax and enjoy being together ... and that's exactly what we did. The atmosphere, the comfort and most importantly, the staff are... More

Stayed there over the Easter weekend and really liked it. Had the top floor room overlooking the market place. The room is spacious and full character. The view from the room is that of the marin street leading up to the cathedral/bishop's palace. There is a street market there every Saturday morning. So can be a bit noisy early on... More

This hotel in an excellent place to stay if you want to visit the Cathedral or just have a walk around wells. The room we had overlooked the market square and was very comfortable. We decided to...

This is a very reasonably priced hotel in the heart of Wells, with parking, nice bar, attached restaurant and handy for looking round Wells. The accommodation is good and reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and helpful. All in all a great place to stay with the added benefit of Hot Fuss being filmed there !

We happened across this inn when we were visiting Wells Abbey. The inn is very centrally located right next to the abbey and centre of Wells. Parking, wi-fi and breakfast are included in the reasonable accommodation rate. Our room (no 1) looked over the carpark and was above Penn Bar but we did not hear very much noise at all... More

Had lunch on march 5, 2012. It was very quiet in the restaurant at first but rather noisy mothers & small children in the bar. Service was adequate but disinterested. However the food was really nice and the lunch deal was v good value. And best of all - I didn't have to pick bits of horrible raw onion out... More
