Up the steep cottage-style stairs is a separate WC plus two bedrooms – a double with an en-suite shower room and a single.

The location of the cottage was excellent, however, with 3 normal sized adults the accomodation was inadequate. The stairs were down right dangerous, the toilet was far too small and no handwashing facility. The second bedroom was clearly only suitable for a young child.

Welcome pack on arrival was very good, we did purchase more apple juice after trying the one in the pack. Easy to find, we parked in the car park up the road. Very good location in Wells. Compact cottage with everything you need, the stairs were very steep but this was noted in the description when we booked.
