The room was far too hot. There was a thick winter 13 tog duvet on our bed ( and it was June weather) my husband asked for a blanket and sheet so the cleaner took away duvet but only left a sheet no blanket, so we were then cold on our second night and had to put our light raincoats on ourselves to keep warm:( The bed was far too small with it being a small double. Suggest you get smaller bedsize cabinets thsn the chunky ones and invest in a wider king-size bed for comfort for guests!

The hotel was very clean, warm and comfortable. I spoke to many staff members during the stay and everyone was completely helpful, friendly and had time for a conversation. I was fortunate to get a room with an amazing view of Wells Cathedral. It was an ideal location. The hotel description on the booking site was accurate and the hotel sent additional reminder emails regarding parking and the hotel’s unique stairs. So there were no surprises. I felt fortunate to have stayed in such an historic hotel with all its quirks. I hope to stay again in the future.

Very disappointing- the restaurant was closed on Wednesday when we arrived and the reception shut early. There were no facilities other than in the bedroom. The bed was impressive but very small for two.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay - the room was beautiful with a charming feeling. We had a view of the cathedral which was stunning and changed with the change in light. Great location and the staff were so friendly - I'd fully recommend for a short stay.

After receiving my key and directions to my room, I was amazed at the steepness of the stairs. In the States we would call that a ladder. But the room was clean and comfortable and the attached restaurant was brilliant. The cathedral and the green were visible from my suite. It was the perfect place to stay.

Dark decor extends up the windy staircase to rooms, might be improved by a lighter colour. Fine blind in bathroom would be good for privacy! Breakfast only available on prebooking. Tasty and freshly cooked but expensive. Good location in centre of Wells. Comfortable bed.

You step back in history when you stay at the Gatehouse. Amazing in-house Italian restaurant. Breakfast was delicious and generous. All the staff were friendly and efficient.

Very welcoming staff at check in.The room was nice, the stairs could be a problem for some people. Breakfast was excellent with lovely produce, our table overlooked the cathedral so we could enjoy the views.The lady who served us was so friendly. All shops, restaurants,pubs and the cathedral were within a few minutes walk.Our only problem was finding an overnight car park close by.

Beautiful. Perfectly placed in the centre of wells. Staff are helpful and friendly. Our room (no 2) had a beautiful four poster, a lovely shower (but not really suitable for a larger person) as the door only opened a very small way. The pin opposite did play loud music on the Fri and sat night until gone midnight but it didn’t bother us too much

The room was fantastic - it had literally just been refurbished (had an amazing four poster bed that was very comfortable). The food in the restaurant was delicious and all of the staff were so kind and helpful, special shout out to the lovely lady that prepared our breakfast - she was excellent!
