Host was very friendly and extremely helpful. Cottage was clean, bed was comfy. Log burner was great in the cold weather. Parking right outside the Cottage. Poss walkable to the two pubs but one has a nice size carpark, axbridge and cheddar gorge a short drive away. One of the close by pubs was dog friendly. Didn’t try the other one so can’t comment on it being dog friendly. Wells is definitely worth a visit. Would recommend.
