Firstly I have to say I have not stayed here but have eaten twice in the hotels restaurant, Rugantino. However I will probably spend a short weekend away here sometime in the future. The first meal here was on a Saturday in March at mid day and was off the special lunch menu (£11.00 for 2 courses from memory) which... More

After many months without a weekend off, we decided to have a romantic long-weekend away and found the perfect place to do so. My Boyfriend grew up in the area and suggested Wells (especially as we are fans of the film Hot Fuzz). After a long journey we arrived and were shown to our beautiful room, in the top of... More

For our 24th wedding anniversay we decided to book the best room in the hotel. Because the website is very ambiguous we called the hotel direct and asked whether or not the blue room with double view of the Cathedral was availabe. The website appears to label this room "Beautifully refurbished room" and shows a picture of the "blue" room... More

We have just spent two nights at the Ancient Gate House. Our room had a wonderful view over the cathedral green and although quite small, was very comfortable and attractively decorated. We were made welcome and a helpful member of staff took our case up to our room. We had dinner the first evening in the italian restaurant at the... More

Sat up in a lovely tester bed looking out over the green to the cathedral. Very helpful staff. Ate in the restaurant of their sister hotel. Fabulous dinner and great breakfast. One gripe? Windows needed cleaning - such a small thing. One query? Why was there no room 6? Rooms 5 and 7 but no 6.

We decided on the Ancient Gatehouse because of its location and tariff. We were visiting family and the hotel was convenient to his address. We did the booking 'online' and also Google mapped the hotel and area. It was apparent there was no parking area at the hotel but we did manage to park in the White Hart over the... More

We were really looking forward to staying at this place. The rooms looked beautifully styled and reviews looked great. We called up the hotel to receive advice on which room would be best for us to request as we wanted a cathedral view. The reception staff advised us to book online to get the best rate. However, in the few... More
