Adele
It is in a perfect location for us as we love to walk into Wells & it has parking. The apartment is so light, spacious & very quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay. If only it felt a little more cared for & had a 2nd comfy sofa instead of 3 ( nice looking) but uncomfortable chairs. It would be perfect in every way. However this doesnât put us off coming back, weâve already booked a 4th visit.

Still quiet, safe, warm and spacious. Great location, walking distance to Wells and with parking. Maintenance is required in places especially to the shower room and there needs to be deep cleaning to less used kitchen items, place mats etc. Bedding and towels show signs of wear/ marks. We needed to supply our own soap for one of the bathrooms and also washing up liquid, but no biggie. The new washing machine is great but unless the rubber seal is dried out thoroughly and cleaned between stays, itâs likely to be quickly mildewed as it was already a little smelly of damp and stained, itâs only a few months old. We addressed this during our stay but needs to be kept on top of. None of this detracted from our stay at all, all minor, and we would stay again.
