Mews Cottage

Mews Cottage, self-catering holidays in Wells, Somerset

Welcome to Mews Cottage, a lovely period home set in one of the best areas of central Wells. It is an easy 7 minutes walk to Wells Cathedral and the Market Place, with cobbled streets, cafes, bistros and shops close by in England’s smallest city within the glorious Mendip Hills AONB.

Mews Cottage sleeps 3 people in two bedrooms plus space for a cot. Completely renovated, furnished and equipped with the utmost style and comfort, it is cosy, welcoming and warm, with SKY Internet broadband wifi and a Smart TV/DVD for relaxed evenings in.

Downstairs you will find a well equipped kitchen/diner with double oven cooker and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, Bosch pod coffee maker, kettle, toaster and a dishwasher. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk are provided on arrival, plus a few goodies. The lounge offers comfortable seating, Smart TV/DVD, HiFi, MP3 and DAB system with free SKY Internet broadband.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms: a master double with a lovely Cathedral view and walk in wardrobe (with space for a cot), and a single room with a built in wardrobe. Both are made up with Tempur mattresses and Egyptian cotton bedlinen for a great night’s sleep. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, a low level WC and basin.

Outside, Mews Cottage has a private courtyard for morning coffee or an evening read, and private parking is directly outside the cottage, which is a rare bonus in central Wells. An excellent pub/restaurant, The Fountain Inn, sits at the end of the street, and there is a bus stop on the main Bath route about 50 yards away, so a car is not essential.

Families are very welcome and a travel cot and high chair can be provided on request. One or two dogs are most welcome by arrangement, charged at £30 per dog per week or part week. Towels are included (large bath and hand towels, and tea towels) and the cottage is fully centrally heated with a modern gas combi boiler, serviced annually.

We also provide helpful essentials such as loo roll, kitchen roll, shower gel, hand wash, cling film and washing machine tablets so you can settle straight in. Smoking guests are welcome to use the courtyard.

Wells is rich with things to see and do: the 12th century Cathedral with hourly guided tours and evocative evensong, the moated Bishop’s Palace set in 14 acres of gardens, and historic Vicars Close. The Market Place hosts lively open air markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with seasonal events throughout the year.

Owner managed with attention to detail and Airbnb Superhost status, our aim is a homely, exceptionally comfortable stay in a prime central location.
