What visitors say
A fabulous and unique experience, so tranquil yet near all the points of interest and local facilities. I'm very happy that this has been made available to all of us to enjoy. Very private and very comfortable little pod with all we needed for a romantic and memorable weekend. The hampers contained some delightful local produce -- would recommend!

We stayed in the Chapter House pod for 4 nights. Ample parking. No noticeable people. Fire Pit. Deck with chairs and table. Two Sun Loungers, Wood Fired Hot Tub. View of the Cathedral and countryside. The pod itself has: a sofa, TV, table with two stools, Kitchenette with a sink and convection hob, microwave/oven, fridge, plates, cutlery, coffee machine, kettle, WiFi, toaster, plates, pans, ensuite bathroom with toilet, sink, shower. There is a welcome box of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and two bottles of prosecco for the hot tub. They provide towels, two robes, slippers, bed sheets, unlimited wood although we used the hot tub twice a day, and didn't manage to empty the wood store. The hot tub takes some practice but once you've mastered the timings then it is epic. It's a short walk to the city via the Bishops Palace. We came and went on both foot and vehicle with no issues. The levels of chill achieved, were great, and it's well placed to visit some amazing places. Look for the two folders of instructions and histories to help you out. I recommend this for a place to stay, I think we will definitely be back.

Lovely pod, within walking distance of Wells town centre. Good view of the Cathedral, secluded hot tub, cosy interior, enclosed garden area for the dog.

Such as amazing place to come and stay and be able to unwind and chill. The pod is kept very tidy and clean with everything you need inside. Even the little extra touches of a tea and coffee hamper, along with prosecco to enjoy in the amazing hot tub. The views are amazing sitting in the private garden looking out at the cathedral. Can not wait for our 3rd visit in September. Michael and Charlotte are amazing and cannot do enough to make they stay even more special.
