The White Hart Hotel
Sadler Street (Wells) BA5 2RR
This restored 15th century coaching inn is situated in the heart of the small medieval city of Wells, by the cathedral green, just metres away from the ancient marketplace.

The breakfast was lovely and the room was clean. The staff were good, e.g. allowing me to leave my bag in the morning for a while when I went for a look around.Covenient to the town and Cathedral and easy access. The lovely lady who serves breakfast is worth coming to the hotel for - her warmth and friendliness lift the spirits. You feel welcomed at the White Hart, yet your privacy is respected.breakfast was excellent - better would be very difficult to find. Service also excellent - staff friendly and thorough. Restaurant owned by the hotel across the road serves superb food. Breakfast - good with ample choice. Staff friendly and pleasant.It was quiet. Location was excellent and the breakfast was very good. an italian restauant opposite. wifi is week, always can't be connected. bedding needs a review - perhaps duvets?
Breakfast adequate but not outstanding. only fire escape type access to bedrooms.Room was a bit musty. There was no cask conditioned beer in the bar. Parking is a bit tight! Hotel has 15 rooms but I doubt if they can fit 15 cars in the hotel yard!. The room was cold - the heating had not been turned on. Even when the wall heater had been on all night the room itself was still cold.restricted parking. The room and the hotel was cold and the heating went off noticeably at odd times. The shower is not a hotel shower and is no good. The place is drafty because of windows stuck open. The bathroom carpet was not clean. Parking is risky. Needs complete workover. A great pity really.Room, which was an annexe, was poorly heated, only one radiator which was not enough for a winter stay. Access up fire escape type metal stairs could be improved - slippery in wet weather. Parking facilities were poor - Matress needed replacing on the bed. rooms small dated in need of freshening up.

Information about the area
Located at the entrance to the cathedral green and just metres away from the ancient marketplace, the hotel is in a great location for exploring historic Wells and all of the points of interest and areas of natural beauty in the surrounding regions.
Wells is the smallest city in England, with a population of just over 11,000. The city is set in the foothills of the Mendips, with the Somerset Levels and Moors to the south. Wells’ Cathedral is probably one of the finest examples of a gothic cathedral anywhere in Europe. With Vicars' Close and the Bishop's Palace and its moat next door, the cathedral is a great place for a memorable visit.
The famous Wookey Hole Caves are situated on the outskirts of Wells. The caves were once owned by Madame Tussaud’s and the caverns themselves are breathtaking. Guided tours are available and the site also boasts the oldest working paper mill in Britain and a marvellous 19th century penny arcade.
The spectacular Cheddar Gorge, with its caves and wonderful walks, is an attraction in itself. Owned by the Marquis of Bath, the gorge offers a wealth of natural beauty and is well worth a visit.
