10/10 Excellent
"Great location for us as we wanted to visit Glastonbury, Wells as well as the Cathedral and the Royal Palace and heading home again for Stourhead so everything was very close by. Property was great lovely big bedroom. Kitchen was a bit small and warm. Could do with an oven tray and a trivet for putting hot stuff on from oven and some tongs but otherwise very satisfied."

The Beam, near Wells -  Hot tub, Dog friendly

The Beam, near Wells - Hot tub, Dog friendly

8/10 Good
"We had a lovely 3 night stay at the beam. My only points to mention were: 1) was told the hot tub would be treated at 9.15 each morning but didn’t happen once. 2) the sofa is so soft, it offered no support. 3) No where you put my dogs poo bags, to be fair, I think the owner did come in at some point and move the bags, maybe a sign required. 4) I called to check what coffee pods to bring, purchased some only to find the accommodation already supplied them. Other than this, I would definitely recommend this accommodation to stay at and we had a very relaxing time."
