Fodor's Expert Review Ancient Gate House
20 Sadler St., Wells, Somerset, BA5 2SE, England
This venerable hostelry makes a convenient and atmospheric base for exploring the area. The premises incorporate the Great West Gate, dating from 1473, accessible via an ancient stone staircase. The rooms are small and may present difficulties for the mobility-impaired, but some have four-poster beds and wonderful views across to the cathedral. Rugantino's serves Italian and English dishes, made largely from local produce.
PROS
- historic character
- cathedral views
- good Italian restaurant on-site
CONS
- steps to climb
- cramped rooms
- shabby in places
