4- and 5-star hotels in Wells

Wells is England's smallest city, a compact Somerset cathedral city where the medieval centre, the cathedral and the moated Bishop's Palace sit within easy walking distance of one another. Visitors come for the architecture, the weekly market and the gentle countryside of the Mendips and Somerset Levels nearby. The 4- and 5-star hotels here suit couples, families and walkers who want comfort and character rather than chain-hotel uniformity. Spring and early autumn are the pleasantest times to visit, though the city is rewarding in any season.
