What You Have To Say

A lovely stay in Hidden Gem in Wells. ****

Visited for a two night stay in February on the Dine and Unwind package. This includes two nights B&B and a three course dinner on the first night. The checking in experience was really easy and the staff were super helpful with local knowledge and dining reservations etc.

We had a four poster room in the old part of the hotel which was spacious and clean but could do with some tlc. The included dinner was lovely with free choice of the whole menu. Breakfast was a full hot and cold buffet with optional freshly cooked hot choice from the menu.

The staff cannot be commended highly enough. All super friendly, helpful and happy to chat. Quick shout out to Cathu, Cory, Kyle, Jelena and Leeroy. Would highly recommend this hotel for location, staff and food!

I’d definitely return. Loved Wells.

Pleasantly surprised •••••
I’m a local who has been coming to the Swan for many years for drinks but obviously had never stayed. However I needed somewhere to stay during some home renovations but that I could also work in the room too. I was a little apprehensive after the old owner had sold it to the Coaching Inn group and there were some teething issues after the transition.
I’m happy to say it was an excellent 4 nights, the room exceeded my expectations and the staff were excellent, managing house keeping around my work hours. The only issues for me were very soft pillows, would prefer a firmer option, and the eternal issues of staffing the bar when it gets busy. Wells is a great little city, and The Swan is a fab place to explore from.
