Amazing vist
What a wonderful vacation. Kim reached out to us the second we booked. She was so helpful. This house was amazing and thr town was beautiful. The Tesco was within walking distance as was a lot of different resturants and shopping. The hkme had everything we needed plus some. I wish I could live here. If you are taking the train pre-book your taxi.

A bijou beauty!
We stayed here for a month whilst waiting for our next property, it was really sweet. It’s very well looked after, the owners were a charm to communicate with, considerate and responsive. The house was cleaned and beds changed weekly, & the cleaner was a sweetie too! It was very comfortable, easy to adjust heating, the kitchen was fully supplied with utensils and a great variety of dishes & pans. Ideal for a couple or family with young children, for our teen boys the twin bedroom they shared was too small, but perfect for young ones.

Wonderful Wells
Arrived at the cottage to find it immaculately presented &very, very well equipped. To welcome us was wine, treats and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The cottage was n a fantastic location, very close to the beautiful town centre. Communication with the owners was a joy, they made everything so easy and enjoyable for us. Shame I can only give 5 stars, I could easily double that and then some.

A cosy and comfortable base in central Wells
An end of terrace property in the heart of this historic little city. It is fantastically well equipped and comfortable. There is a lovely cosy ambience and we particularly liked having some outdoor space which is a rarity when compared with similar rentals in central Wells. The owner was very responsive to communications. Although there is limited parking on the street we found a space on Silver Street just 5 minutes walk away which has unrestricted parking. Everywhere in Wells is walkable and the main shopping street with some good independent shops is steps away. Don’t miss the market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We would definitely return to The Green House on a return trip to the area.
