The Swan Hotel Wells

The Swan Hotel Wells

8/10 Good
"Very good position, helpfull staff and, because of its age, full of character. Awkward car parking in an area that was not big enough to accommodate all the cars of the guests in the hotel: finding a free space becomes matter of chance."

"Great location to explore Taunton. Room was spotlessly clean and well equipped, however the bathroom was tired and would benefit from an upgrade. Breakfast highly recommend and very helpful staff. Would stay again"
