The member of staff on reception is excellent. She moves around from reception to bar to restaurant and is very efficient - she is a credit to the hotel! ##### Jacqueline Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max 15 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay Our stay was excellent! the building is set in a lovely quiet area at the edge of the village, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. ##### Max Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mozley 24 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### A very enjoyable stay A lovely old house, so creaking floorboards and no lift but that just goes with the character of the property. Very friendly and efficient staff, very clean, excellent breakfast, very good 'light bites' food in bar which was all we needed in the evening (restaurants about 10 mins walk away). My bed could have done with a new mattress but in any event I slept like a log so can't complain too much about that. ##### Mozley Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl 3 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay, staff absolutely brilliant ##### Cheryl Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Charming, comfortable and clearly not part of a chain. Pleasant decor, in keeping with the age of the house which is early nineteenth century, with interesting features such as the staircase and the portico at the front. Lovely staff especially Natalie. Excellent breakfast. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mrs A M 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A lovely place to stay Stayed one night here and it was lovely. The building is beautifully decorated and is clearly looked after by the owners. Our room was bright and decorated in keeping with the age of the building. We had a drink in the bar and sat in the living area which was very nice. Breakfast the next morning was freshly cooked and plentiful. The staff are lovely and would definitely stay again if we were back in the area. ##### Mrs A M Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely Stay! We loved our stay at the Ancient Gatehouse. The room was lovely and looked out over the green in front of the Wells Cathedral. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the hotel has an excellent Italian restaurant, where we enjoyed a delicious dinner before walking around the lovely town of Wells. Americans should know it is not air conditioned, but air conditioning is rare in the UK and Europe. There is a fan and lovely large windows. We will definitely return. ##### Catherine Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### barry 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Beautiful and historic eveything excellent except beds had no padding on the mattress and it was like sleeping on a box spring ##### barry Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liam 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Stay Really nice place to stay, the room I had was also huge.
