The Ancient Gatehouse Hotel

Great staff, great breakfast! The only comment I would make is to recommend where to park in Wells on the website, as I couldn't see a recommendation for this. We will be staying again!

This is a wonderful spot to enjoy Wells. The cathedral is across the green space in front of the hotel. The food in the restaurant excellent. The stairs to the room may be steep but worth it.

Great location overlooking the Cathedral. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our large room had an antique 4 post bed with beautiful wood carvings. We chose to dine at the hotel’s restaurant and we’re not disappointed. Great Italian food and great service, again overlooking the cathedral.

Absolutely stunning views of the cathedral. Food and service was incredible

Great location - right in the center of town! Also has a restaurant, but it was full and I could not have dinner there - must be good! Had view of the cathedral from my room, which was a 3min walk - glorious! Very quiet as facing the back. Room was single, not big but plenty for one; bathroom was large. Access to the room was up 2 flights of stairs, first one OK, second one "treacherously steep and narrow!" - good if you are in good shape! Breakfast was very good.

Clean room, with en-suite. Our room was Located at front of hotel above noisy street - not ideal, woken up very early by the traffic. Photos of hotel show only rooms with views over Cathedral so assumed we would be located in one of these rather than at the front of the hotel so we were disappointed.

Perfect location to explore Wells. The building is historical, therefore full of character with an amazing view of the cathedral. A better mattress on the ancient bed would improve sleep. Breakfast was lovely in spite of a communication lapse between the afternoon desk staff and the lovely lady multi tasking everything single handedly the following morning.

Such a great place to stay …..love how old the building is and the quirkiness of it. Also the Beautiful view of the Cathedral from our room !

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Very popular dining spot located in the heart of Wells. Food delicious and made to order breakfast was AMAZING! The room was comfortable and well stocked, although the shower was a bit claustrophobic. Overall, I expect that I’ll be staying at the Ancient Gatehouse on my next visit to Wells.

Room was very shabby and tired with poor quality fittings, worst shower ever had. Staff were very friendly and food was wonderful.
