Lynne Salmon
Lovely cosy cottage in a great location. Wells is within walking distance and very nice with great sightseeing, shops and a wide choice of places to eat in or takeaway. Supermarkets within walking distance of the cottage too. A parking space for personal use making going out easy with lots of places in the area to explore. We enjoyed days out at Glastonbury, Cheddar Gorge and visiting a number of Cider Farms in the area. We purchased some lovely Ciders to bring home. Hedgers Cider Barn is very good with food, a great range of ciders and ales to try, nice food and entertainment at certain times. The farmhouse Cider, Extra Mature Cheddar and Stilton from Wilkins Farm were amazing and great value and you can see the cider presses at work if you arrive at the right time. Would revisit in a heartbeat in the future and recommend to others. The owners live next door and introduce themselves to check you are happy with the cottage which they keep spotlessly clean leaving welcome gifts too which were very nice, thankyou. Kindest regards, Lynne & Keith

We had a lovely stay at The Cottage. It's not far from the centre of Wells. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. We can't wait to go back!
