We really enjoyed our recent stay in wells, was such beautiful views from the pod, amazing place to relax and short distances to shops and cathedral, will definitely stay again!

The location, the cabin, the hot tub was everything I hoped it would be. On arrival the cabin was nice and warm and spotlessly clean. A lovely complementary bottle of Prosecco was also left on the side which was a nice touch. The cabin had everything we needed and the information pack answered all our questions. The hot tub was easy to use and plenty of logs were provided. There was plenty of privacy as the other cabins were well spaced apart. Wells centre was only a short walk away so everything was perfect. I only wish I had booked an extra night. Never mind maybe next time.

We arrived on Friday 11th October with our labrador for a 3 night stay to celebrate my birthday. On arrival the wood burning hot tub had very thoughtfully been pre-lit by our friendly host Michael. The view from the pod of surrounding fields with an outstanding view of Wells Cathedral was fabulous. The pod was enclosed by a wooden picket fence which meant our dog was safely confined, however the surrounding fields provided plenty of space for walks and running free. We all had a very enjoyable stay. Thanks go to our host Michael.

My husband and I stayed in a pod for the weekend at chapter house as an anniversary gift from our daughters and it didn’t disappoint. The pod was easy to access with a key box just outside the door, the code is text to you a few days before your stay so you don’t have to fuss meeting people for the keys. It was clean and comfortable and had little finishing touches which made it feel homely. It was surprisingly very warm inside even without the heating on. The hot tub was a bonus was so easy to use and was secluded. I’m not a camper at all but glamping I’d happily do again, the pod included a good sized bathroom with toilet sink and shower, a microwave and hob, a kettle and toaster and a bbq in the lovely fenced off garden space complete with table and chairs. It was so peaceful and just a short walk to wells town. Would definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful time staying at the chapterhouse. Had everything we needed. Hot tub was brilliant even on a drizzly day. Just a short walk across the field and you’re in town. The owner of the farm Michael was great, couldn’t do enough for us. Would love to come back soon. Thank you!
