I booked the George Inn at 7pm on a Sunday evening of a BH weekend after getting rained off from my camping. The place was still busy with the Sunday lunch crowd and clearly the host couple had been flat out busy all day. Nevertheless they were both absolutely charming and quickly showed me a lovely comfortable room and got me a meal and a pint followed by some excellent home made Victoria sponge. Before long I was co-opted onto one of the pub quizz teams and had a great evening in front of the toasty open fire with my new friends. Lovely people who run a great little Inn.

Elegant, historic property with spacious bedrooms, amazingly comfortable bed, and glorious views (from the Master bedroom). The staff was very friendly, helpful, attentive. The grounds were beautiful. We were unable to take advantage of all Beryl Country House had to offer due to our short stay and the rainy weather, but it’s clear the property has been lovingly and carefully renovated and restored over time. A wonderful breakfast, with amazing service. Entire staff was kind, considerate and friendly. A memorable stay.

Our trip was specifically to visit the rural levels and also to catch up on a friend in the area. We did not visit Wells on this occasion so can't comment specifically. However if you want to be well situated to explore the area Wookey Hole and its hotel is a good place to be. Locally there is the Ebor Gorge within walking distance and road access to most of the area is accessible although you must be happy driving on some narrow roads. Hotel is definitely not luxury but is clean and convenient with excellent staff. Good value for money if looking for convenience rather than luxury.

Good place to visit.
Good place to visit. Cathedral and Bishop's Palace are really lovely.
City centre has a lovely vibe and there are lots of shops and restaurants.
It's very handy for exploring the rest of the area and only a short drive from Cheddar Gorge.

We visited Wells Cathedral, which is an absolutely stunning place, the staff are very welcoming and the donation system is very reasonable. The only thing I would say is if there is anyone with Auditory sensory issue, check if they are cleaning the organ before going in as this did dampen my experience not knowing at the time. The library is up a set of s prial stairs so not accessible, however if you have someone willing to run up and take some pictures, it does look like a wonderful place.

Wells is a beautiful, small city, dominated by it's immense Cathedral. We very much enjoyed both. We spent time within the Cathedral, enjoying it's beauty, a service, and a concert. The shops and restaurants were varied and good, and the market exceptional. The Bishop Palace Gardens were our final treat with it's restful water gardens. All in all an ideal short holiday destination.
Just perfect really. Great location just off of A371 near Wells. We stayed in Dairy Cottage which is attached to the main farm house. It has its own little outside area. The cottage was well equipped and really comfortable and very quiet. You are far enough from the A371 so not disturbed by it. I didn't meet the owner Carol, everything was organised via Booking / text messages but Carol was on hand should there have been any issues. I wouldn't hesitate in thoroughly recommend this cottage.
The apartment was excellent, a great location, lots of home comforts. Really couldn't fault it. The owners were really helpful and friendly. Would 100% stay here again. Location wise it was great for us as we could walk into Wells (about 40 mins) and there were 3 pubs in walking distance to choose from in the evening. We had dinner at the Burcott Inn opposite and highly recommend booking a table there. Thanks so much :)
Sarah, hotel owner was fantastic, couldn't do enough for us. Even made her washing machine available to us.
Terrific room, tastefully decorated with extras. Great bathroom, clean and functional.
All staff in hotel were welcoming. Parking was an issue but made easy with staff assistance.
Easy walk up to market square and stunning Wells Cathedral
Our room was absolutely beautiful. Comfortable bed, fluffy towels and gorgeous toiletries.
What we seen of other parts of the hotel all good. Great breakfast choice and good evening meals. Staff were all helpful, pleasant and hard working. Managed to get a parking space behind the hotel but in their car park. Fantastic view of Wells Cathedral.
A beautiful characterful hotel, restaurant and bar right in the centre of Wells. Built in 1450, so no mod cons such as air con, double glazing or lifts etc but comfy rooms, excellent breakfast, friendly staff and perfect location next to cathedral, bishops palace with market square outside the door and high street shops a few paces.
Lovely staff and perfect location for our needs - we were touring the historic side of Wells. Quaint room and good facilities with thoughtful touches based on the weather. We had a great dinner and had a good nights sleep. Recommended for people happy to stay in an Inn type environment with evening food and drinks downstairs.
Everything you could think of was provided. It was a beautiful apartment right in the centre of Wells. It was spacious with lots of personal touches which made it very comfortable. My sister and I often stay at The Swan Hotel in Wells but this apartment will now be our first go to when booking further trips to Wells.
The Ancient Gatehouse is in a great location and we were blown away by the superb Italian restaurant which is part of the hotel and the ability to enjoy the food and wine while looking straight across the cathedral green to Wells Cathedral. It was magical. All the staff were really friendly and engaging.
The property is a rare find only 2 miles out of Wells and on the edge of a small village with a few great pubs and farms all around. The working flour mill grinds spelt and whole wheat flour as its done for centuries, that goes into delicious breads served with breakfast.
A fantastic location right next to The Cathedral in Wells. The hotel is well appointed and has been nicely modernised whilst maintaining plenty of character. The room was very comfortable with an excellent bathroom. Staff were helpful and the location is beautiful.
The view from our room of the cathedral was spectacular. The restaurant was crowded, but the hotelier was able to find us a table even without a reservation. We had a great time and would recommend this small hotel to friends and family.
Location is ideal for most attractions in Somerset, including Cheddar Caves, Wells Cathedral,and lots of other locations. The staff at the hotel were lovely, nothing was too much trouble.
This is a truly exceptional family run boutique hotel experience. Everything about Beryl is welcoming and unique. It was the perfect environment from which to explore Wells.
