The best place to stay within 20 miles of Street! …

I’ve spent 18 months commuting to Somerset for work and over that time have had the pleasure and horror of experiencing a multitude of hotels, Airbnb’s and b&bs in the area. Hands down, without a doubt, The Cross trumps them all. I stayed in the apartment, which was homely, incredibly comfortable, had everything I needed, full of special little touches and with a host who went out of her way to make sure my experience was perfect. An absolute gem of a place to stay. …I’ve spent 18 months commuting to Somerset for work and over that time have had the pleasure and horror of experiencing a multitude of hotels, Airbnb’s and b&bs in the area.

The hotel was in the process of closing down whilst i was there, due to the carona situation, but the staff couldn't have been any better updating me throughout my stay. Hotel, room and staff are great…

A super apartment a couple miles out of Wells just off (but down!) the National Cycle 3—large, quiet, a small deck overlooking hills and fields, a well equipped kitchen, super nice shower and bathroom, great bed, and sparkling sparkling clean theoughout. Just a fantastic spot for a rest day on LEJOG. Thank you for the super lovely apartment! …
