We had a great week despite the weather.. Angela proved very helpful during the week. We visited places we hadn't been to before and revisited others.
Visit was only slightly marred by a young female "jobsworth" who decided to throw her weight about just as we were trying to pack up and leave!!

Another lovely cottage, in a friendly village.. Excellent pubs in walking distance serving great food. This is the third Sykes cottage we have stayed in and they never disappoint. Warm, comfortable, clean and everything you could possibly want to make your stay special. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Glebe House had so much more on the inside compared to its initial kerbside look.. We were there in November and it was very warm and comfortable with lots of books and games for dark evenings if you weren't snuggled up by the log burner watching TV or eating around the large table in the generously equipt kitchen. The beds were very good and the showers excellent.. The position, in a lovely village, but close to Wells and Tesco, is perfect.

Glebe House is in a lovely location, quiet and.. Peaceful situation and yet very convenient for the city of Wells and it's fabulous cathedral. Bristol, Bath and the coast are also easily reached as well as the many attractions of the Mendips and Somerrset. The house itself is very comfortable and everything you need is on hand. We shall be back!

We loved this house, it was comfortable, spacious and well equipped? Set in a lovely quiet village. Just 2 miles from Wells, It is in a central location for many of the top attractions. In the village there are 3 good public houses serving good food and beer.

Great cottage, larger than the pictures suggest.. Decent wi-fi, powerful showers, good kitchen and on a very quiet road. Good location, 5 mins walk from good pub (Ring of Bells) and only 5 mins drive from Wells, highly recommend.
