Hello England travelers and residents,
Has anyone stayed at a place they loved in Wells, in the last couple years? Looking for recommendations, non luxury, inn, pub, small hotel, self-catering or B&B. Close to Cathedral and/or city centre. Thanks so much!

I thought I'd post in case someone wants a place in Wells but doesn't need a city centre/cathedral location.
We are returning to our favorite hotel---Beryl Country House---for the 3rd time this December. It is not close to the Cathedral. (about 26 minute walk, and uphill returning:( Parking is available.

They do have a self-catering cottage but I don't know what it's like. We loved our room in the house.
The Rick Steves England guidebook recommends the Swan Hotel, a Best Western Plus facing the cathedral with 53 rooms. Prices vary for their Tudor-style rooms, some with four-poster beds. It has a pub, and they also rent five self-catering apartments in the village - www.swanhotelwells.co.uk . Have not personally stayed with them, so can’t offer further information.
His guidebook also lists Middle Farm Cottage, a “small and cozy B&B,” in the village of Dinder, 2.5 miles outside of Wells. If that’s not too far away, search for Middle Farm Cottage at www.sawdays.co.uk .
I have stayed at the Crown, very old, quite well maintained, decent breakfast, very central and near cathedral.
Thanks so much for the replies.
LInC I had wondered about the Crown. Good to get a positive review of it.
CanAmCherie We go carless so we definitely need city centre.
Cyn Apparently, the Swan Hotel is no longer Best Western (which is too bad because we have points with BW) but will look into their self-catering units. Thanks again
