Three close friends stayed in 2 Bishop Mews while being in a choir "in residence" at Wells Cathedral for a week in July 2024. The place was perfect - great location in central Wells, walkable to everywhere we needed to be. Clean and spacious, with the everything we needed. There is a washer for clothes but not a dryer. You will love this place!

We had a really great stay in Wells. The property is in a brilliant location, right in the centre of Wells, yet still very quiet. The property itself is very comfortable and well equipped. Couldn't ask for more. The parking is tight, but if you can reverse, you'll be fine! Highly recommended.

This beautiful property is well equipped and at a great location. This is our second time and as it is just steps away from the High Street where all the action is we will be back.
The property could benefit from some shelf's in the bathrooms for your bits and bobs.

immaculate town house, very quiet and only a few steps to the high street.

We spent a few nights here over half term, and were really impressed with the location, cleanliness, and attention to detail. Whilst not an enormous property, it had absolutely everything we needed and was extremely comfortably appointed. Others have mentioned the small parking space, which did take a little manoeuvring to get into with our estate car, but still doable. Would like to thank the hosts and apologise for not writing in their guest book, in the melee of packing up for departure it got forgotten, but for the record, thank you, we had a lovely time and will certainly be in touch if we need to stay in the area in future.

Perfect property in perfect location,walking distance to everywhere.
The house was so comfortable and welcoming, we actually opted to eat in twice as we wanted to take advantage of the place.
Everything you could need, so clean and the beds so comfortable.
Can't recommend this highly enough

We had a wonderful stay in Wells. Our holiday included time in the northern region of rural England (a cottage within the Yorkshire Dales) and so the 4 days staying in the apartment in Wells provided us a totally different and delightful experience. We had rented a car which enabled us to easily travel to Wells, but once we arrived, this apartment's location enabled us to walk EVERYWHERE in the area. Grocery stores were a 5 min walk. Owner had manuals for all of the new appliances so we were able to easily use the microwave, oven, and dishwasher. Beds were quite comfortable. The 2nd floor 'shower room' wasn't ideal as the men in the group were too tall to use the facility comfortably, but having 2 bathrooms was still quite helpful and we were glad to have it. The owner responded to questions within 30 min. So much history to see, and we followed Rick Steve's travel guide to find a wonderful hike overlooking the city. We also drove to Bath for a day. And Cheddar Gorge is beautiful. All in all, a GREAT STAY!

The property has everything needed for a comfortable stay. A few minutes walk to the High Street with many lovely shops. Wells Cathedral and Bishops Palace also a walk away. Highly recommended.

This is one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. It is very spacious and has everything you need. The beds and bedding are wonderful. It is in the middle of a busy city but very quiet. Wells is a lovely place and lots to see.
We had a really lovely holiday, thank you.

An attractive house right in the centre
We loved the little house and found it very convenient BUT the parking is really a problem. The architect appears to have imagined that people only have toy cars and parking even an average sizes car is very difficult.

We hope to return
We enjoyed our few days staying here. The house was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Also handy for getting around Wells. Thank you

Very Convenient Location
The house was clean and comfortable and the description and photos on the listing were accurate and helpful. We particularly appreciated the location in a quiet road in the center only a few minutes walk from anywhere. As mentioned in the listing, parking needed a little perseverance (we have a Vauxall Astra), but having a dedicated private space in Wells city center is rare and the central location more than compensated.

Perfect Property
We loved our time at 2 Bishops Mews, the property was perfectly equipped with everything we needed, it was a quiet area just steps away from the High Street and Cathedral and Bishops Palace. Definitely recommend.

A lovely house in a beautiful city
The host was amazing with excellent communication and responded to our queries promptly. She gave us lots of recommendations on the surrounding areas which proved to be very useful.
The house itself is lovely and clean with all the facilities in good working order. The location is great being in the city and we used it as a base to explore the surrounding areas. It was a really lovely holiday :)

A week in Wells
We were very pleasantly surprised by the space within this property which enjoys a mews style setting just a few paces away from the centre of the city. The open-plan living/dining-kitchen is very much on trend and enjoys a feel of space. Both bedrooms are well proportioned and the property was clean and well presented with heating available if needed but not required during our summer visit. The secure bike store was an asset as we brought two large mountain bikes and enjoyed riding around the area. Above all the convenience of the location was special as Wells is a city which keeps inviting you for just one more walk around the lovely buildings and local businesses.

The apartment was clean and has everything you need, even for an extended stay. We were surprised at the lack of a ‘welcome pack’ or toiletries - it’s worth noting this if you plan to arrive late as no milk, tea or coffee is provided. We have stayed at many properties marketed by another well-known online holiday rental agency and every one has provided a basic welcome pack (some included far more than the basics with wine, fruit, snacks, etc.) and toiletries so we were caught out and had to make a rather unwelcome trip to Tesco (no small convenience store in central Wells).
The location is ideal and we didn’t use our car for the three days we stayed in Wells: the Bishop’s Palace, Cathedral, etc. are all a short walk from this mews apartment, as are numerous excellent cafes and restaurants (we particularly recommend Twenty One Cafe for breakfast and lunch and their excellent and friendly customer service).
We stayed in this property during the exceptionally hot spell in mid/late July - we know the weather was unusual but an electric fan would have been very welcome!

We had a lovely time at the apartment. It is in a really nice central location close to the shops, restaurants, pubs and main attractions. The apartment is spacious with lots of room and really nicely presented and kept. We had two minor concerns prior to going, based on comments from other people. The first was the parking. The space itself is fine , size wise. We have a new VW Tiguan SUV and managed to park it. Its the maneuvering into the space which takes some time and patience as the space to do it is tight but if reversed in its fine. The second thing was having a double bed only. i would give the apartment 4.5/5 but what would make it a 5 would be a larger main bed (king or super king). The double was small for two grown adults. So much so we had to swap with the kids in the end. overall a nice stay though.

Property spotlessly clean and in a fantastic location. Just a couple of minutes from the centre of Wells, convenient for local attractions and restaurants, and yet very peaceful.
