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.

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.

Beautiful little cottage.

We spent Christmas in this lovely little house so that we could be near family that live locally. It all worked out beautifully from booking to picking up the keys and communication with the owners. Its a very warm, cosy, clean house in easy walking distance to shops and the cathedral and other local attractions. We hope to be back soon!

Gorgeous Cottage, wonderful city

This lovely cottage is brilliantly located in the centre of Wells. All local sights are easily reached. The cottage is so cosy and well equipped. Spotless and very comfortable we had a great stay. The beds are very comfy (ooh those pillows!) and every need was thought of. Kim was a very professional host whose communication throughout the stay was excellent. We only wish we could've stayed longer...we will be back to stay at the Green House soon... hopefully .

Wonderful Short Break

We have had a fantastic time in Wells, and would thoroughly recommend this property. Great location, very clean, really comfortable, and really well equipped. The owners were extremely helpful and provided lots of information about local facilities. There is much to enjoy in Wells. We were initially concerned about parking (quite restricted in Wells), but you can stop outside to unload, and there is a car park really close by. We will definitely come again!
