The Crown Hotel

The Buttlands, Wells-next-the-Sea · Hotel

A boutique hotel on Wells' Georgian green, with individually decorated rooms and a restaurant led by a New Zealand-born chef using local produce.

About The Crown Hotel

The Crown Hotel occupies a handsome position on The Buttlands, the tree-lined Georgian green a short walk uphill from Wells quay, and has been reworked into a boutique hotel of twenty-two rooms including several family rooms and suites with separate children's rooms. Each room is individually decorated, favouring a warm, contemporary take on coastal styling over anything overly formal.

The hotel's restaurant is a significant part of its appeal, with a menu built around the freshest seasonal produce available and a kitchen overseen by a chef with a strong reputation locally. A free hotel car park, a genuine rarity in central Wells, adds a practical edge to the property's appeal for anyone arriving by road.

Its position on The Buttlands puts it within easy walking distance of the quay, the beach road and the town's shops, while offering a quieter, more residential setting than a seafront address. The combination of comfortable, well-appointed rooms and a serious approach to food makes it a natural choice for a special weekend rather than a simple overnight stop.
