About The City Arms

Wells is a small cathedral city ringed by the Mendip Hills, and its High Street is where The City Arms makes its home, a short walk from the cathedral and Bishop's Palace. It's the kind of base that suits people who want to explore on foot, with plenty of pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby, plus walking and cycling routes and a golf course within reach.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks, and free WiFi, and there's a 24 hour reception for coming and going as you please. Breakfast is served on site, and the restaurant and bar give guests somewhere to eat and drink without leaving the building, with outdoor seating and a garden for warmer days.

There's no parking available at the property, so it suits those arriving without a car or happy to park elsewhere in Wells. Given the central High Street location, most of what the city offers, cathedral, palace grounds and the surrounding Mendip countryside, is within easy walking distance.
