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 went here for new years eve and stayed in the top room in the gate house and can not fault anything, from booking the holiday to arriving and being escorted to the room, all the staff were absolutely great and very very friendly. The room was superb and the views of the catherdal were to die for-i got some... More

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

I love this Hotel. The staff are friendly the location fabulous. Food in the Italian superb.They even sell Prosecco by the glass! Breakfast fabulous.Golden yolked free range eggs and plenty to eat Perhaps not for those seeking 5 star luxuryl but very comfortable with a real sense of history.
