Swan Hotel, Wells, Somerset The historic, award-winning 4 star Swan Hotel could not be more centrally located or have a more dramatic view. Located directly opposite Wells Cathedral, parts of the hotel date back to 1422 and, over the years the hotel has been sympathetically refurbished and extended, offering modern amenities in a beautiful setting. All 46 bedrooms are furnished in an elegant, traditional style and are equipped with a TV, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. Owing to the historic nature of the building, there is no lift but there are three ground floor rooms located in the adjoining Coach House. The hotel boasts an elegant yet modern bar, a comfortable lounge with a warming log fire and a beautiful wood panelled restaurant. There is also an outside terrace that has unrestricted views over Cathedral Green and Wells Cathedral.
Fri - Morning departure as we make our way to Bath. Bath has a starring role in the series Bridgerton, with many of the city's golden Georgian stone buildings used as a backdrop, standing in for the streets of Regency London. From award-winning attractions including The Holburne Museum (Lady Danbury's grand mansion) and No.1 Royal Crescent (the Featherington family home) to picture-perfect cobbled streets, you'll be able to follow in the footsteps of your favourite characters across the city.
Sat - We enjoy a full day in Wells today, the smallest city in England. Small but perfectly formed, Wells offers numerous historical marvels such as the famous 14th century Astronomical Clock, The Bishop’s Palace & Gardens and, of course, the outstanding cathedral. Why not begin your day at the popular outdoor street market held every Saturday in Wells Market Place, where you can browse a selection of local produce and goods.
Sun - After breakfast we depart the hotel and make our way to Tewksbury, an extraordinary riverside town with a rich, vibrant history and a beautiful waterside setting. There is plenty for everyone to discover in Tewkesbury. Later we continue the homeward journey.
