Premier Inn Wells (Somerset) hotel

You're looking for somewhere straightforward to rest your head after exploring the Cathedral and wandering round the Bishop's Palace gardens. The Premier Inn ticks that box without pretending to be something it isn't. Rooms are clean and functional—think neutral tones, decent beds, and actual working showers—with the kind of no-nonsense efficiency you'd expect from the chain. The real win is breakfast: a proper cooked spread alongside cereals and pastries that'll sort you for the day ahead. Location-wise, you're tucked away on Rowdens Road, far enough from the main tourist bustle to feel peaceful, but close enough to High Street that nothing's more than a five-minute walk. Perfect if you're staying a night or two whilst soaking up Wells' medieval charm without wanting to fuss about your accommodation.
