Wunderschöne Zimmer, ganz besonderes Haus mit ganz viel Charme, es gab sogar Geschenkpakete für Hunde und das Personal war einfach nur nett! So ein tolles Erlebnis!
Alles war hervorragend
Comfy bed, the room was clean and tidy. And excellent cooked breakfast .
Nothing
Location very good, nice bar, friendly staff. Room was fine.
Quite a steep set of steps up to the room from an exterior courtyard.
Staff were warm friendly and helpful. Room was great, very clean and lovely decor Food was delicious Great Location
Only thing would suggest is Mattress in need of replacement Quite uncomfortable and sagging at the edges, despite having 2 mattress toppers.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
All good
Location, comfy beds
Breakfast was very unorganised
I stayed one night at The White Hart Inn in Wells and had a lovely experience. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, and we were able to leave our bags both before and after check‑in, which made it really easy to go off and sightsee. The room was small but perfectly comfortable for a one‑night stay, and the bottled water and biscuits were a really thoughtful touch. It’s a very interesting building with lots of character, and I’d definitely stay again.
Room not very dark, but its a very old building so not suprised
Fantastic location friendly staff, especially Joe.
No parking on site. Mattress in room 8 was not good. Slanted. Springs could be felt. Did not sleep at all. Room was clean. Bathroom fan very noisy. Our friend's room was so small. Cooked Breakfast was nice. Bar good choice.
Excellent location, a few steps from the cathedral. Varied, high-quality à la carte and continental breakfast.
Everything

Old fashioned authentic clean comfortable apartment xx
Comfy and homely xx
The fact that it was very old and just across from the Cathedral where we went to a concert.
Very disappointed with the accommodation,I thought we would stay in the actual Hotel other than the chalet type room that we had. This was sold to me as a superior room, this was not superior this was as special Birthday weekend so was really disappointed.The noise from the fan in the bathroom was dreadful ,so loud. Cracked toilet cistern,cracked floor tiles.Settee to sit on but no table to put a drink on.
Nice staff very friendly hotel and comfortable
Nothing
Lovely pub downstairs. Very good range of craft beers. Relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff.
The rooms are laid out along an external walkway. I think frosted glass rather than curtains across the doors would give a better sense of privacy.
The staff were very helpful and the food etc was very good. There was also a really positive and relaxing feel about the hotel. I would like to thank the manager for his continued help and support (Sorry forgot his name)

Very friendly and helpful staff! Made us feel welcome from the start.. our room was very clean with a very comfortable bed and lovely bath! We had a lovely member of staff show us to our room, which we thought was a nice thoughtful touch! Beautiful pub and nicely decorated, lovely selection of ciders and beers! Although we didn’t eat there, the choices on the food sounded amazing! Would definitely visit again :)
The only downside was the parking, but of course being in the city centre it’s not any fault on their part that they don’t have one! The staff were super helpful with recommending places to park, after a while searching for a space (also being market day was super busy) we found one not too far!
The White Hart was in a great location right opposite the cathedral. The staff were great and the breakfast was excellent. The room was ready early so we we able to get settled right away
Nothing to complain about, this hotel is a great choice.
The room (No. 8) was spacious. Comfortable bed. Good location.
Needed attention to interior decoration - especially the bathroom. Entry room door could do with painting - first impressions count! Bathroom light over mirror didn’t work & also a cracked toilet lid. There was noise from pipework in the bathroom throughout the night. Noise from the outside area of the pub from pub customers during the later hours of the evening.
The convenience of being close to the centre, the breakfast was to die for 😋😋
Great staff, great pub, great location.
No aircon as per usual in the UK, no mixer taps.
Good location
We loved room 15 it was perfect ly situated in the Courtyard and nice and peaceful .. loved the friendly staff 👍
There was nothing to dislike good value for money 😊
Excellent authentic travellers pub/hotel, with period features. Great soundproofing, excellent bar that is well pstronised. Comfy beds.
Shared spz es a bit tired. Single beds very small in twin room
Great location, directly opposite the cathedral and a minute from the shops/ market.
N/A
Breakfast was very good first morning second morning a few bits were missing because the van delivery was late .
We were very happy with are room good value .
Location, comfortable, staff. Thoughtful (fan in room due to hot weather). Value for money compared to other hotels in the area.
Nothing. It is an old building so you have to accept not everything is “shiny”.
Excellent breakfast, good rooms although modestly small, so would recommend this more for couples (possibly)
I had to park at a Waitrose car park (7-10 minute walk)so, no local parking but I guess that really is not the fault of the owners as the building is located in a no parking zone
Brilliant location - literally opposite Wells Cathedral, centre of town
Lack of parking
Good location if you don’t have a car as there is no parking on site and the closest parking for overnight is a 8 minute walk away
All the floor were worn and dirty and the headboard had 2 stains on them were countless of guest have rest against
Staff pleasant. Comfortable bed. Fan in room to keep cool. Great location. Breakfast - OK choices of cold and cooked.
General state of disrepair, in need update and fixing. Courtyard onlg access to rokm was dirty and scruffy, nany broken items Lots of disrepair and cigarette buts sll over cobbles. Outside stairs to room were steep and difficult.with corroded and broken banisters. Transparent shelter over balcony was filthy anx broken. Bathroom - stained ceiling, cracked toilet systern and floor tiles. No notice given for NO water in room after breakfast til after lunch so couldn't flush or wash clean teeth etc. Booked superior room, this was not.
Close to everything
The state of the cleanliness and paintwork and sticky tables and female toilets was poor with only 1 toilet available. The property is very tired. Bed lovely. Tv rubbish. Bathroom shower disgusting. Black inbetween tiles. Easy fix
Location was great and very close to the Cathedral which was lovely. We parked in Waitrose Carpark which is a short walk away overnight for around £ 6.50 which was great value. Breakfast was very nice and staff were very friendly. Plenty of atmosphere in the bar as they had a chap singing in the beer garden.
Excellent value for money in the heart of Wells
Breakfast was wonderful and so was the bar
Bathroom could could do with a few fixings. Cold tap wobbly, was hard to get plug from bath and floor tiles cracked.
Spacious room. Big selection of possibilities for breakfast. Wide choice of beers and ales in the pub. Very close to the cathedral.
We stayed in the ground floor. Noise from the room right above ours was really disturbing. Hosts sitting in the courtyard were smoking right in front of our windows.
Brilliant location, very friendly staff. Old fashioned but comfortable 😌
Not a lot
Friendly clean excellemt breakfast
Ez a szállás nagyon jó helyen van, pont szemben a katedrálissal. Nekünk szerencsénk volt, mert pont aznap este élő zene volt a szálláson. Nagyon jól éreztük magunkat.
Friendly and helpful staff
No car park, but not their fault given the age and location of the hotel
Location was excellent
No hot water in the shower
Lovely a dog friendly room. Quiet room. Very clean. Friendly staff. Great food. Great location.
Loved everything about our stay.
Lovely staff very helpful and friendly . Great location. Fresh breakfast cooked to order. Music some evenings.
Great location, staff really friendly and welcoming. There was jazz playing the night we stayed. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Staff friendly
Main area scruffy and needed painting. Food pretty basic. Don't think I would use again.
Convenient location
Nothing to note
We had 2 rooms which were clean and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We had breakfast and we all chose different things which were tasty. Nice quiet place at night.

Staff are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble Supherb location
All of it always a great stay

Posizione perfetta e bel edifico storico
Camera esageratamente piccola, rumorosa ma soprattutto non accettabile il materasso dove si sentivano le molle sulla schiena
Great location. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. The room is fully equipped, although it is quite cosy
Location and comfortable beds
Nothing.
Hotel meraviglioso, di fronte alla cattedrale,nel pieno centro di questa elegante piccola città. La stanza accogliente, bagno comodo e personale davvero gentile. Una chicca per gli amanti del cinema... Wells ha fatto da location del film Hot Fuzz.
Poiché non hanno parcheggio bisogna lasciare la macchina nel parcheggio di un supermercato ad una decina di minuti a piedi dall'hotel
Location perfect. Breakfast cooked to order so fresh and hot. Staff very smiley and friendly.
N/a
Breakfast and staff lovely
Room very hot otherwise facilities fine
Fabulous location. Staff very helpful brought extra fan for our room Comfortable beds. Breakfast outstanding. Excellent value for money
Room 5 small. Towel rail blasting out heat and no way of turning it off. #redweatherwarning for heat. Shower mould stains around the shower tray Would be put off by any of the above though
the location
breakfast room was full of uncleared tables, service very slow and had to 'chase' staff to take order (most likely insufficient people on shift rather than a direct complaint at the woman working). food was pretty poor quality (avocado must have been from el pasa and not fresh). Bathroom shower leaked a lot and was clearly an existing unresolved issue as floor tiles were cracked and floor 'sagging'
The staff were lovely, nothing to much trouble. Absolute legends 👏 Highly recommend
Stayed for 2 nights. Only downside was the heat. Nothing the staff could do as the whole country was in a red alert heatwave
Location was excellent and staff were great.
Would have preferred closer parking. Cleanliness in the breakfast room needed to improve - dead flies and cobwebs on the shelves.
The pub has great beers and had something every night of our stay. There breakfast was good with plenty of choices.
There is no car park and the public car parks were a short walk away.
Lovely room and comfy bed
The shower dripped all night which kept me awake. I also booked a twin bedded room and it was a double which is not our preference
Lovely little old pub with lots of character. Staff are lovely & friendly. Room was clean & comfortable.
Location
The bed had a big dip in the mattress. The room smelt musty and you could smell cigarette smoke in the bathroom.
Nothing: On arrival we were given Room 5. It was uninhabitable. It was severely infiltrated by black mould!! The black mould was in the room and bathroom. A dehumidifier was running in the room on arrival. Totally unacceptable. Room was not fit for purpose.
The room the sanitary conditions of the carpets . The breakfast .
Centrally located.
No parking on site.
Hotel was in a good location. Staff were friendly.
Room was not as expected or as shown in pictues online. Needs updating. Tired looking bathroom. Poor tea making facilities.
Meal was excellent
Could have been cleaner
Lit tres grand , localisation parfaite
Salle de bain à rénover - joints noirs dans la douche Douche trop exiguë
Great location and a generous sized comfortable room
Lack of parking and noisy stomping from the room above
Super quiet room despite event in the pub downstairs, great location, friendly staff. Amazing selection of beers on tap!
Good location and friendly staff
Perfect location, excellent value for money, lovely staff
Room was hot but it was a during a heatwave and we did have a fan so no more could have been done.
Really good location. Saturday Bar staff and landlord were exceptionally good, friendly and helpful. Top marks. Pub/Bar area was buzzing, great beer and cider, good food, lots of locals and visitors enjoying the space. Live music was really good and a bonus. Bed was so comfy, really was good. Room was spacious and clean. Cooked breakfast was really good.
No parking facilities but we parked in local car park for £5 for 24 hours. Morning staff (waitresses) for breakfast and the continental part of the breakfast let it down a bit. Coffee had run out, no bread for toasting, butter had run out, limited choice for cereal (bran flakes or muesli), no flavoured yogurts just plain, no drinking water available, yet when we asked all items were available, but it just got a bit tiresome asking all the time on both mornings when the waitress should keep these things topped up during the breakfast timings and we arrived half way through service so its not like we were late. The cooked breakfast was really good though, really good quality ingredients, cooked well, plentiful and hot. Just what you need.
Staff were warm and welcoming. Location great. Comfortable room with what you need. Not noisy.
The staff & the room were lovely, great location
Breakfast wasn’t as good as our previous visit last year
Perfect location. Helpful and polite stuff
Very small rooms, outdated facilities. Bathroom not really suitable for elderly.
Location and staff. Great selection of beer if you’re ok with the surroundings
It’s run down in the public areas and grubby. Bedroom was ok but the courtyard was really stuffy and unkempt. Very basic pub really.
La proximité, centralité de l'établissement au coeur de la ville et proche de la cathédrale qui est un vrai bijou. Un très bon pub pour les clients avec des bières à presque tous les goûts et types "artisanales", locales.
Le service pour les petits déjeûners laissait à désirer..., pas de café prêts sinon des sachets. Personnel aux abonnés absents au service de ce dernier.
A lovely property. Our room was very tastefully finished. Nice comfy bed, and the room was nice and quiet .I really appreciated my special request to put my motor scooter around the back of the property for security, after assuring the staff that I wouldn't make any noise on leaving. To be honest, the bin lorry the next morning made more noise than I would have done. Had an evening meal which was very good indeed
Not much . My wife was disappointed with the very basic continental breakfast. There wasn't any cheese .There was only one person looking after things and didn't really grasp the importance of keeping things like milk and butter topped up. I had to clear our table just to be able to sit down. No bowls for the cereal, until I asked again! We felt that the £16 paid for the breakfast was a bit steep. Had everything gone smoothly with more choice on the food and service side, we wouldn't have minded.
Location was great and room was clean although very small with not much room around the bed or to put a glass on stand due to the lamps.
Bathroom was tiny. Literally a shower cubicle wide. Could do with some professional TLC with woodwork and fixings. We were asked what time we would like breakfast. We said 9.30am. when we got down, there were no staff to be seen, the 'continental' breakfast was none existent and only 1 slice of bread left next to the toaster. Had to find out own juice and milk in the fridge. When we were eventually served, the cooked breakfast was lovely. It really did seem like we were interrupting staff setting the bar up for the day. If 9.30 was too late, we would rather someone say.
Great location, close to the Cathedral.
I was unable to stay in the room I had booked because there was mould in the en-suite shower and the smell in the room made me feel nauseous. Breakfast sparse and
Super Lage
The photographs do not match the current state of this slum so do not be fooled. I’m a regular and have stayed here a few times but this year I have never witnessed a room being so dirty and unkept it was if somebody had slept in the bed there where blood stains and pee stains on my duvet and mattress protector, the room stunk to high heaven of pee and room spray, there where hairs in the bath, pubic hairs covering the floor, the view was unbelievable, just out of my window there where mattresses and duvets that looked like they’d been left to rot, the list could go on. I would guarantee if you stayed here you’d be very disappointed and would want you a refund. Absolutely awful place.
really nice pub and the rooms are in a different part of the house so it was not really loud. super friendly staff and good breakfast.
Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. Perfect central location.
Bath drain didn't work, mouldy tiles, very damp and smokey smell in downstairs bedroom, dirty teaspoons in sink on arrival, toilet stained, hairdryer didn't work, shower controls completely opposite to marked controls and hot would have scalded you, but besides this convenient location and staff lovely. Not sure it would be 2* though as verging on 1*.
Friendly staff, comfy bed, and a "local" feel made our stay a pleasant one. Live jazz in the bar was a nice surprise. The breakfast was very good. The position, right outside the cathedral green, is excellent.
The room (Room 5) could do with a little redecoration and re-fitting, but that didn’t spoil things for us.
Really good breakfast. Good location. Friendly staff
Lack of parking
Close to the Cathedral and its grounds and other attractions. Breakfast was ace. Good selection of beers.
Room was clean, but some parts of the room needs attention. Full length Mirror too low on the wall. A Grab rail over the bath would be a wise inclusion as getting in and out of bath difficult. Cracked Tiles, grotty grout around bath and shower screen. Shower hose Leaked, Mattress had seen better days or (Nights) very lumpy and sagged on the edge. Outside area quite scruffy and needs a bit of a tidy up, cigarette ends and litter on the floor in the yard.
Excelente ubicación
El calentador de agua estaba sucio o muy usado, y no pudimos disfrutar de tomar algo caliente en la habitación.
Nice staff
Small room, bathroom was so outdated, needs a refurbishment
So welcoming
Nothing
Our room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was good. The pub/hotel is in the centre of Wells which is ideal. The staff were welcoming and friendly.
Welcoking staff. Spacious. Comfy beds. Secure bike storage. Wholesome breakfast.
Nothing in particular. Beer was a bit pricey so we went elsewhere.
Very comfortable bed. Location excellent
Extractor fan in the bathroom very loud. No full length mirror in room.
Great location.
Rooms need a little maintenance and TLC. However, great value for the money and staff friendly.
Friendly welcome. Comfy bed, bath instead of a shower, tea making facilities. Great selection of ales in the bar downstairs. Meals available, though I didn't eat there. Lovely historical coaching inn.
I only stayed for one night so did not find anything to dislike
Very central, Cathedral Green a few metres away Nice spacious room with big bed and small sofa, wardrobe and drawers, adjustable heating etc. Good tv Staff very pleasant and willing We weren’t disturb by any noise from the bars
The room was in an annexe approached by quite steep steps. (Staff offered to help with luggage) Outside area a bit untidy
The White Hart Inn was a fabulous place to stay. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was extremely well cooked and absolutely delicious!
Our room was directly above the kitchen so was a little noisy when the kitchen fans came on in the morning.
