Perfect.
Absolutely perfect cottage. Great location, very clean, very comfortable, charming place. We stayed one week at the cottage and wish we could have spent another week. We enjoyed having a few nights staying in, the nice kitchen and wonderful sitting room made it easy to have dinner and relaxing evenings in. We enjoyed the nice garden space as well. The hosts are attentive and helpful. They provided us with useful information about Wells including, food, shopping etc. We would definitely stay again!

Good location in Wells, Somerset
We needed to be within close walking distance of the Cathedral for the whole week and this lovely cottage was ideally located in a quiet residential area 5 minutes from the City Centre. We were lucky to find free street parking close by. The property met all expectations and had recently been totally refurbished. Very helpful hosts who arranged early access for us. We would 100% recommend for any single person or couple who are able to manage living accommodation over three floors.

As good as it gets
We have just returned from two weeks in St. Etheldreda's and it has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. We fell in love with Wells and its surrounding area and also the cottage which has been so brilliantly designed with guests' comfort in mind. Last but very much not least, Helen has been the perfect host - superb communication and real concern for our comfort. We were delighted to meet her and get her views on local attractions, restaurants etc. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Weeks stay at this beautiful cottage
This cottage is beautiful it has been restored beautifully, it is a perfect size for a couple with everything you could wish for and spotlessly clean. The owners were brilliant at keeping in touch and sending all the information required. Wells is a lovely city with a nice range of shops and restuarants. Parking can be a challenge although we managed to get a space everyday, however when you are parked you dont really want to lose your space by going outside of Wells in the evening, unless you are prepared to get a taxi.

Wonderful cottage, great location
St Ethelreda's is a beautiful place to stay, with extremely attractive decor and furnishings. The cottage is in a great central location making access to the city easy, but it is also tucked away so stays nice and quiet. The interior is fantastically kitted out and has everything you could possibly need. The exterior is old and beautiful. Parking is also no problem in the local streets. We were provided with a lovely welcome pack to get us started too which was great! We will definitely be back and highly recommend a stay here! Thanks very much Helen and Mark.

Wells "Mews" cottage
Wonderfully clean and well appointed property very close to the city centre. We loved the "mews" feel of the location which was remarkably free from traffic noise. Would definitely return next time we're down Somerset way. Helen & Mark were excellent owners who helped with lots of useful info of things happening in the local area.

Comfort
Helen and Mark were wonderful hosts. There was plenty of information of places of interest, eating, and activities. The cottage is extremely well equipped, right down carrier bags for shopping. All these little things add up to the accommodation being ten out of ten. The rooms were exceptionally clean, decorated to the highest value, and there was an abundance of clean, white, soft linens. Thank you for all your work to present a home away from home. Kathleen and Tom.

We really enjoyed having Kathleen and Tom to stay! They brought enthusiasm and interest and made the most of their stay by exploring the nearby area. They looked after the cottage and left it very clean (thank you). We interacted with them several times which we hope helped (as we can suggest specific things to enjoy). Overall we were extremely pleased with their stay and would welcome them back or recommend them to others any time. Thanks once again for staying with us.
