“Excellent-like home from home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2011

A well presented spot to stay & close enough to town to walk there at night for dinner!
We liked the modern en-suite room-even if the shower was a little tight for space! We also liked the family dogs-2 friendly labs!
Wondeful full breakfast plate too- yum yum!
Quiet for a good night's rest-just a bit hot during our stay-not usual in UK, I know!

We also used the free hi fi link!!

“a nice place to stay in Wells”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2011

Visiting Wells we stayed in Ashford House for 1 night. The keeper is very nice and friendly and gave nice recommandations for a look around in the little town.
The house is about a 1-2 miles way off the cathedral easy to find.
The rooms are very comfortable and it´s enough space for a short stay anyway. Breakfast with fresh fruit and eveything else you might desire is served overlooking the beautiful garden.
We liked to stay there very much.

“Lovely B&B, feeling like home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2011

It was one of the best B&B I have stayed for a while. My friend and I was staying at Wells for a night and this B&B was situated 10 mins from the town center. It was a very relaxing home. Jayne was a very warmth person and we received a very good welcome.

The room was very comfortable and clean. We had a double and a single beds and the beds were lovely. They provided tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit tea and chocolate biscuits! Our room was facing a road but with some very good view. The beds were just right and we had a good night sleep. The breakfast was lovely and not oily at all. Also, they provided fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and bananas.

We found that the shower was a bit of the problem and told Jayne about it. I hope she will fix it soon. Last but not least, Jayne knows the area well and gave us a very good travel advice.

“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed in the family room at Ashford House and had a terrific weekend.

We received a warm welcome from Jayne who looked after us extremely well and gave us tips on what to see and where to eat. The house is immaculate and very convenient for Wells as it’s only a 10 minute walk into the city. Wells is lovely, we were initially torn between it and Glastonbury as a base, but were very happy with our choice.

Breakfast was excellent and all in all we were very sorry to leave.

When we return to the area we will certainly stay at Ashford House again.
Highly recommended.
