About Stoberry House
Stoberry House is a hand-picked luxury bed and breakfast set within 26 acres of private parkland above the small city of Wells, around six miles from Glastonbury and a similarly short drive from Wells Cathedral. The house looks out over its own landscaped gardens towards the cathedral and across the Vale of Avalon, making it one of the more scenic upmarket bases for exploring this part of Somerset.
Rooms are individually decorated with a country-house elegance, each with an en-suite bathroom and views over the gardens or surrounding countryside, and breakfasts make use of produce grown in the property's own kitchen garden wherever possible. The extensive grounds include a walled garden, ponds and a wildflower meadow, all open for guests to explore at leisure, and the gardens have featured in the National Garden Scheme's open days.
Its position between Wells and Glastonbury makes Stoberry House a practical base for visiting both, with the cathedral, Bishop's Palace and Vicars' Close a short drive away in one direction and the Tor and Abbey in the other. The quiet, secluded setting and attentive service make it a popular choice for couples seeking a more indulgent stay than the town centre typically offers.
What guests say
This was a birthday gift to a place we had never heard of! What a fabulous place. The gardens are so beautifully kept, and the flowers, trees etc are amazing. Such a peaceful place, with plenty of seats around. Some in secluded areas where we could find some shade. Being partially disabled, I did find it very hard work to get around with my rollater on the stony paths, but the grass was easier. We explored every corner, but the lake was out of my reach. The only down side was the lack of being able to get a cup of tea of coffee and a snack, but I would definitely recommend a visit for garden lovers. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Lovely gardens, with labels around the gardens that was helpful to identify plants if you ate not familiar with some species. Will definitely go back in the spring to see the many daffodils and spring flowers. The sculptures were great and added a lot of interest to the garden. You could see the love and appreciate all the work that has gone onto making it a special place.

We visited the gardens. I wasn't too keen on going but the gardens were a real surprise. Very quiet & relaxed, not too formal with a great atmosphere. Great place to wander around for a couple of hours if you are in Wells. You do need to ring in advance though as they only open on certain days. Admission can be purchased from Groupon

We stayed in the outbuilding and I can honestly say, it was one of the best sleeps I have ever had! The bed was so comfy and the selection of free drinks, food and all other amenities was wonderful. The grounds are beautiful, which we wandered around one evening. The breakfast choice is stellar with some local cheeses and preserves on offer. I have recommended this place to my friends and colleagues
