What Naishcombe likes about Best Western Swan:
Stayed here for 2 nights and dined in on one evening. Our room was comfortable with a 4-poster bed and full bathroom (shower over bath). We opted out of the breakfast which was pricy at £14.50 and we only wanted a light meal. Everywhere was clean, reception staff friendly and hotel quiet. Access to car park is a little tricky but this is well pointed out on the hotel website. We thought the bar prices a little high b... View all feedback. What TammyWilts doesn't like about Best Western Swan:
From the lunch menu in the bar we ordered : granary bloomer salmon sandwich, white bloomer cheese and chutney sandwich, home cut chunky chips. We got : cheap brown sliced bread salmon sandwich, cheap white sliced bread cheese and MANGO chutney sandwich and soggy oven chips. When we complained no one cared and we refused to pay and left. It's a shame as we stayed in the hotel a few times in the past and really enjoyed... View all feedback.

Spent a sunny afternoon in this hotel's pleasant outside seating area with great views over Wells Cathedral. The food is reasonably priced and service good.

The restaurant at this lovely hotel in Wells offers a picturesque setting with a view of the Cathedral green. The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. However, some guests found the food to be below average, with bland pasta and overpriced cream tea. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel itself offers comfortable rooms, helpful reception staff, and a quiet atmosphere. Overall, the Swan is a charming place to stay with great potential for improvement in their dining options.
