excellent accommodation well maintained property
Great house for a group of friends. Plenty of good sized communal space plus 5 bedrooms had an ensuite. Very well located in centre of Wells. Sarah the housekeeper was very helpful with answering questions before our visit and putting together a lovely welcome hamper.
Great accomodation, location and enjoyment!
This is the second time I have stayed at this house, both with a large group of females friends - for my 40th and now my 50th. The house is stunning and lends itself perfectly to a large group. We had caterers on Friday night and the majority of the rest of the time we just sat around eating and drinking as its so nice you dont want to leave. Hopefully see you again for my 60th - fingers crossed
Lovely house with excellent facilities. Very well located. We will definitely go back!
Beautiful house that worked so well with a large group of 11. Amazing views from upstairs, a lovely compact enclosed garden and en suites or adjacent bathrooms throughout the house.
This would have been five stars but for the number of stuffed animals and the poor choice of artwork displayed on the walls. Our six grandchildren in particular disliked the artwork and especially the stuffed animals. Otherwise the facilities were very good and the thirteen of us enjoyed our four days over New Year and the excellent weather helped. The pool table was a big hit with everyone. The downstairs shower could do with upgrading. Temperature control was poor as was the pressure.
Second time we have stayed here.The house is very well equipped,beautiful bedrooms and the billiard room is a lot of fun. Situated near the centre of Wells there is plenty to do and lots of good local shops.
Excellent venue, beautiful house
Amazing property - everything was perfect
The house was spotless and also included a fabulous welcome basket. We all had a great time and even the weather was quite kind to us.
Everything was spot on! Great location
The house was great. More than usual supply of equipment etc. There were a few minor things that need attention. A very loose tap in the utility sink & a broken blind in one of the bedrooms. Overall we all enjoyed our stay.
Lovely house in a great location
Lovely property. Ideally situated for the town. We were a family of 9 adults and 2 children staying at the Easter weekend 2019. We took full advantage of the garden as the weather was amazing. It would have been nice to have had some garden chairs/loungers but who on earth would expect such amazing weather in April! House itself has everything you would need. I’ve never seen so many boxed games! Kitchen also has plenty of everything. Lovely dining room for all to sit.
We had an amazing time at the Normans. The house has 6 bedrooms, I went with a group of friends and said we would draw straws for rooms but discovered that all the rooms were lovely and a good size- there are no ‘bad’ rooms here! The kitchen was well equipped and the living room nice and cosy whilst still being big enough for 12 adults to sit comfortably. The dining room was also really big and allowed us a lovely roast dinner. Cannot daily it, we rebooked for next year before we even left!
Beautiful house and location. Bedding and pillows were luxurious. Kitchen is very well equipped, even cooking a three course meal for 12 wasn’t a problem
Very good holiday house for a group of friends.
This is the 4th time we have stayed at The Normans and for the last 3 years it has been for a family reunion. The house is just perfect for all 14 of us, with everything we could possibly need. The only small criticism would be to change the bath towels to bath sheets as several of the men, in particular, said the bath towels were not big enough. Have booked again for next year, and cant wait!

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
