Hotels in North Wootton

With no hotels of its own, North Wootton makes a lovely quiet address to head back to after a day out, while leaving the choice of places to stay to its neighbours. Wells, England's smallest city, has a clutch of characterful inns and small hotels close to the cathedral and its moated Bishop's Palace, many in period buildings right in the centre. Glastonbury, a similar distance in the other direction, offers everything from simple guest houses to quirky independent hotels reflecting the town's alternative character, all within easy walking distance of the Abbey ruins and High Street.

Further afield, Shepton Mallet and the villages scattered across the Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels add farmhouse bed and breakfasts and country inns with rooms, many run by local families and well used to walkers tackling the Monarch's Way or visitors touring the area's vineyards. Because North Wootton sits almost equidistant between Wells, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet, staying in any one of the three keeps the others, along with Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge, within a short and easy drive, so the choice really comes down to whether you would rather wake up next to a cathedral, an abbey, or open countryside.
