On entering Wells, follow the brown road signs for ‘Hotels and Deliveries’. The hotel is located on your right-hand side, opposite the Cathedral. Gain access to our car park through the narrow coaching archway. Do take care when entering the car park as there is a sharp bend. (This entrance was originally built with stagecoaches and not motor cars in mind, so please drive carefully!)

Car parking is for residents only and is on a first-come, first-served basis. However, there are a number of public car parks only a short distance away.

Unlike many hotels in the West Country, we have an electric car charging point in our car park, which is free for residents to use.
