The Ancient Gatehouse

Beautiful, comfortable, welcoming. Had to leave the hotel we had booked and got in here at last minute. Walked into the room looked out of the window and said wow. Cathedral right there. Stunning. And then noticed how lovely the room was. And so comfortable. Yes it's about 600 years old. It was a fortified gate house for some time. Corridors are narrow. It's above a restaurant. No staff around after 6 . Who cares! Wells is full of places to eat. Will happily return to the Ancient Gatehouse. Loved it .

Great all around - friendly staff, wonderful location, good food. Ancient building with rustic atmosphere. The old lock on the door to our room malfunctioned, Nicky & Andy accommodated us with a free drink while we waited for repairs. The owner Nick gave us a discounted price. Cathedral view out the window, walking distance to everything. Buses to Cheddar & Bath. The down side, which is the same all over Wells, was weak/intermittent Wi-Fi connection. Highly recommended.

A lovely experience in the Ancient Gatehouse hotel. The room was very comfortable, with windows overlooking the glorious cathedral. breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful. We also ate two evenings in the restaurant, which was delicious. And a beautiful patio with cathedral views was a perfect place for a pre-dinner drink. A charming place to stay.
