A well located cottage. Bijou. The upstairs is delightful and contemporary seaside themed room. Comfy bed with good linen and fluffy towels. Problem with shower but hopefully fixed now.

The cost adds up The bench outside is broken with weeds growing round about and a scuffed front door. Easy to fix and make it more appealing. Would have liked to have used the bench.

Nice little cottage in a lovely location. Very much enjoyed our week based in Wells. Be aware that there is no parking. There are costly local car parks that are a flat walk, or 5 mins up a slight hill is free roadside parking on a housing estate, but you can load and unload outside the entrance.

Location was perfect, close to Wells centre and costal path. Upstairs was lovely, but downstairs was tired. There was a stale milk smell in the kitchen area which stayed all the week, not very nice. Baking trays in oven hadnt been cleaned properly and were sticky. More than one toilet roll would have been useful. Response from holidaycottageRead mores.co.uk: Thank you for your review.

Although the upstairs of Fisherman's cottage is bright and clean with comfortable bed and excellent shower, we feel the downstairs needs all the walls repainted and spring clean. There must be such history in this lovely cottage, but it is being neglected. We solved the parking issue by using a parking app justpark before we went.
