Nestled 18.5 miles from Bath, this recently refurbished 4-star Bath hotel offers 15 ensuite bedrooms and 1 suite in a charming 17th-century building.

Each standard room includes an ensuite shower, while superior rooms feature bathtubs, and all accommodations come equipped with TVs and tea & coffee making facilities. The property serves a selection of local and international lagers, beers, ciders, ales, and wines for guests to enjoy. Located just minutes from the renowned Bath and West Showground, The Well Inn provides convenient access to beautiful country walks and outdoor activities. Visitors will find Wells, Glastonbury, and Street only 15 minutes away, offering historic buildings, bustling markets, and independent shops.

I think it's well-placed for exploring the area's historic sites and countryside, and I appreciate the range of local and international drinks available. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those seeking a relaxed base while discovering Somerset.”
