Full of character and just the place to stay for an overnight visit to Wells. Nice four poster room but at the front and the street was a little noisy. We just had to put up with the heat and close the window...

It was only for one night, but we enjoyed the stay very much. First time we slept in a beautifully decorated four-poster bed!
