We liked the spaciousness of the appartment and found the kitchen well equiped.. We made good use of the 1:50000 maps of the area as the ones I ordered from my local library did not arrive in time.

We were delighted to find the apartment at such short notice, as our holiday in France had just become impossible.. And the communication with Jo on the day we travelled to book it in was great - fast, efficient and empathetic. The apartment itself was very clean and comfy, and well located. The only improvement we'd suggest is to repair the drain in the shower - it was like having a bath and shower at the same time!

If you can get up 3 flights of stairs I cannot think of a reason why you wouldn’t like Wesley Apartment.. It’s comfortable, well equipped, quiet, perfectly placed close to the centre of town, ample parking and when you miss a garden, we just sat on the grass in front of the cathedral. Great place we'll probably come back.

The apartment was in a fabulous location, very close to the City centre and also to a Tesco and Lidl for all self-catering needs.. The apartment was clean and comfortably furnished with lovely views. Highly recommend.

We've been totally satisfied with the way our booking was handled by your staff: they were very efficient.. Then the flat was just perfect: very comfortable,well equipped, ideally located near the city centre and the amenities. We deeply enjoyed our stay and would recommend you and the accommodation without hesitation. The exchanges we had with the owner (text messages)were very nice and courteous.

The apartment was very comfortable and well appointed and was within very close walking distance of the centre of the beautiful city of Wells.. The apartment was light and airy, had good views and the central heating system was very efficient and there was always plenty of hot water.

Ms Alflatt

This is our second visit to this holiday flat and it will not be our last.. As before we loved being in this spacious, clean, light, quiet, well appointed flat which is so conveniently located. There was again the lovely generous gift of flowers and wine on arrival together with the thoughtful provision of such basics as milk, tea and coffee. We left a list of things that we thought could be improved in our previous evaluation. We saw that these had been noted and ticked off in the message we'd left in the Guest Book. We'd suggested that the kitchen lighting needed to be improved and indeed it has been. Also this time the boiler was working to perfection providing plenty of hot water for baths, showers and washing up and a good level of heat for the flat. As we cooked a meal every evening at the flat, kitchen equipment and conditions were important. There were good new pots in the kitchen as we had recommended. The frying pans are still not very good--we suggest that these be replaced. Last year we had a terrible time trying to figure out how to use the oven. We asked for printed instructions to be made available. There was a manual for the use of the hob but still no instructions for the oven. Happily, we managed to work it out and had several pans of delicious roasted vegetables! All in all we were impressed with the attention given to our remarks and suggestions. When we arrived the overhead light in the large bedroom was not working as the light bulb had been broken off in the socket. One day when we returned 'home' after a day out, we found that the television was on! The next day we noticed that the overhead bedroom light was working. Someone had come in the day before and set it right. We did not mind having someone come into the flat while we were away--especially to do such a good turn--but it would have been nice had they left a note to say they had been in. The flat is very near to Tesco and is close to the excellent shop, The Good Earth. Also it is easy to get a bus ( the station is nearby) to Glastonbury where there is a very fine health food supermarket (well worth visiting!), Earthfare. We enjoyed lunches at The Good Earth restaurant, the cafes at the Cathedral and the Bishop's Garden and in Glastonbury, The Rainbow Café. As vegans, we often struggle to find good food when we eat out but not so in Wells and Glastonbury. Vegans and vegetarians take note! Should the owner of the flat wish to invest in some improvements at some point, a blind in the kitchen would be nice to afford privacy and much firmer mattresses would be very good. However, we are overall really delighted with the flat. Even the fourth floor location (no lift) is a great free fitness workout. We look forward to staying here again.

The flat is in an excellent location--very central which was especially good for us as we have no car.. It was very clean. airy, open and nicely furnished with good pictures, books, great views from some of the windows and very well equipped. We were surprised and pleased to find roses and a bottle of wine on our arrival. There were a few problems: no instructions on how to use the oven (we looked up the model on our tablet and worked it out but it was a challenge); the boiler did not work properly so at times we were too cold and the hot water for baths and showers was unreliable and sometimes unavailable; no lift is a drawback although we were able to manage--on our arrival a kind resident carried up our bags!; there was not enough light in the kitchen; and the pots and pans were really inadequate--they need to be replaced. We cooked a meal together every night so the kitchen facilities were really important to us. The knives were excellent! We did enjoy the flat overall and certainly would recommend it and be happy to use it again. We especially appreciated being so close to the cathedral (we attended several services), the bus station--we made many day trips and food shopping venues. It really was quite lovely to be able to see the sunrise over St.Cuthbert's and the cathedral whilst lying in bed (from one of the bedrooms).

Mr Shephard

Milk, wine and flowers very nice welcome pack.. Had all the basic items you would expect. However the cleaner could spend a little more time and effort. Lot of stairs. For an apartment it was very quite, no noisy neighbours. Good parking.

Whilst we had an enjoyable stay in what was convenient location, we felt that standards of this apartment were less than satisfactory in terms of cleanliness, equipment and decor, particularly as it had been rated 4 ticks by Sykes.. It was spacious but we didn't find it as inviting as other Sykes cottages of a similar standard/ price which we have stayed in. We will email a list of specifics. We don't like the search by property being at the bottom of Sykes web page now or receiving 'please book' type communications on cottages we have already booked but have just revisited on the Sykes site.

Mr Rosevear

Very good location close to the city centre.. Handy for food shops , cafes and restaurants, as well as the main tourist attractions - Cathedral , Bishop’s Palace , Market Square etc. Also a good base for visiting Bath, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury , Clarke’s Village, Woolley. Visitors only need to be aware that the flat is up three flights of stairs.

Great location, with views over the city (and the Carnival! ) The stairs would not be recommended for everyone, but we coped OK with two small kids.

The Wesley Apartment is a beautifully furnished apartment, with lovely views within easy walking distance from the town centre and a supermarket two minutes walk away. The apartment was very comfortable and relaxing, there was nothing lacking. I would certainly stay there again and would recommend it to others.

Kath B

Excellent apartment, great location and well equipped. Major downside, for me, was the quality and comfort of beds and the cleanliness of the ensuite shower room. However, I would recommend to friends and family!

Me and my family loved the whole atmosphere of the city, Wells is such a quaint, peaceful and friendly place. Our accommodation was superb. We all looked forward to returning 'home' after a long day and often enjoyed a big home cooked meal using the excellent facilities available within our accommodation. The property is also located within walking distance of the main High Street and a supermarket, so obtaining supplies quickly and easily was never an issue. I highly recommend The Wesley Apartment as a great place to stay for anyone who is interested in exploring the city of Wells and surrounding Somerset.
