    Loved everything 👌

    Everything was beautiful inside the Perch, easy check-in, amazing views, short distance drive to most of the walks around the Mendips AONB and Glastonbury town and a lovely welcoming card from the host was lovely surprise Thank You!.🫶

    Nothing negative to add.

    Prospect Perch surpassed all our expectations during our recent stay. It felt less like a typical B&B or lodge and more like a home away from home, thanks to the thoughtful touches and attention to detail provided by the hosts. From finding a milk jug ready in the fridge for a comforting cup of tea upon arrival to discovering a welcoming card and scented toilet rolls, it was evident that the hosts had put in a considerable effort to make our stay perfect. Victoria, our host, was an absolute delight. Her warmth, attentiveness, and hospitality made us feel more like friends than guests. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout our stay. We left feeling not only refreshed but also looking forward to returning soon. The location struck a perfect balance between rural tranquility and city accessibility, with the peaceful surroundings offering pure relaxation while still being conveniently close to the city of Wells. The property itself was impeccably clean and fresh, leaving us with no complaints whatsoever. Moreover, Prospect Perch offered excellent value for money, providing all the amenities one could ask for, including a fridge, cooker, toaster, microwave, and kettle, making self-catering a breeze. Thank you, Victoria, for a truly memorable stay. We can't wait to visit again soon. Warm regards, Benjamin and Family

    Property is located in country side with amazing views, but not too far from the City of Wells. Shop are 4 minutes drive ( Morrisons and Lidl ) and city centre about 7 minutes drive. I visited The Wells Cathedral, The Bishop’s Palace, Art Gallery A2, and Wells market on Wednesday. Weather was good and sunny except one rainy day. I stayed in cosy apartment, reading book, did a bit of pampering and enjoyed peaceful day. Apartment is clean and well equipped for self catering. Bed is super comfy. You can log into Netflix / BBC iPlayer on smart TV. No WiFi issues at all. I have met Joe on my arrival. I asked him for help with some issue. He was very healthful, friendly and kind and resolved an issue promptly. Level of hospitality is 5 ⭐️ . You can contact Victoria or Joe anytime, they are happy to help.

    It would have been amazing if there had been a coffee pot/cafetiere. I missed my morning coffee. But this is a very small thing and easily sorted after a trip to the supermarket and purchase of some ground coffee bags. Also a pack of cards or perhaps a board game or two might be fun. But I don't want this to be taken as a negative because I've nothing negative to say, only what might have made it even better.

    I was greeted by Victoria and the property was open, keys were in door. The apartment is impeccably clean and very comfortable. The views were beautiful. I heard lots of wildlife (owls and woodpeckers) and would like to visit again and so some more walking as it's a lovely area. I had my two children (14&10) staying with me and the room was a decent size for the three of us. The bed and sofa bed, were very comfy. I'd say it would be a little snug for 4 but two adults and or perhaps small children would be fine. The kitchen had most things you'd need for a short stay. The bathroom was nice, shower was hot. There was a good hairdryer. The internet signal was very good and there was a smart telly so we could watch Netflix and Prime. On arrival there was milk in the fridge, a small bottle of wine and a basket of little snacks and sweets for the children. Also tea, instant coffee, sugar etc. There's parking right outside for 1-2 cars. We loved it and it was fantastic value for money, I was amazed at how reasonable it was for a half term stay. The hosts are lovely.

    I didn't find any instructions for the heated towel rail - though I may have missed them. A small cafetiere would have beennice but otherwise the small kitchen was well equipped. Finding the property in the dark first time round is less than easy and the postcode isn’t much help ! Victoria did send directions but data issues my end meant I didn’t get them in time so relied on the postcode, sat nav and a helpful neighbour. So my tip is to make sure you’ve got detailed directions before you set off !

    Very attractively furnished and decorated and very comfy bed. Victoria was friendly and helpful. Nice to arrive to a generous hospitality tray and fresh milk in the fridge. Lovely large towels and good shower. Nice quiet location with good views across the countryside- good for stargazing as very low light pollution. If I go back to Wells I would certainly book again.

    A couple of little things to niggle about is not having a tumbler in bathroom to rinse teeth off after cleaning , had to use the tap , and no charging point for electric toothbrush and shaver. so i would bring an adaptor plug and the problem will be sorted But my toothbrush stayed charged for the whole 4 days , Would have been nice to actually see Victoria , as i let myself in after a voicemail to her as there was no answer on her door . but she got straight back to me and said door was open let yourself in . But i met her mother when i was leaving and she was lovely , and we had a nice chat

    Loved the property was very clean . bed was very comfortable , and had all facilities for eating and cooking , wardrobe with drawers , and a few hangers , hairdryer , iron and little ironing board on top of wardrobe ,bathrobes provided but i used my own , and towels . and a little dressing table with mirror , and benches and table to eat on . Had my food in fridge and ate out most of the time so did not use any cooking facilities , but were there if i needed , cooker ,microwave, and all cutlery , cups , plates , bowls saucepans etc. Shower and bathroom lovely , And beautiful views from the 2 doors , saw some lovely rainbows , on the one rainy day i had , and a very easy to use tv . would fully recommend . Lots of information on table of places to visit . And the views are amazing. There is a fantastic taxi service using the card she left in the kitchen and all the drivers were lovely .

    Prospect Perch is a lovely, well appointed place to stay. It is beautifully decorated, spacious and has everything you need for a very comfortable and peaceful stay. The location is perfect being literally a couple of minutes from Wells but in a countryside setting with gorgeous views to the city and cathedral. I highly recommend Prospect Perch.

    We loved Prospect Perch. I can't think of anything not to like.

    Excellent comms via Victoria before our trip, and on arrival after a long drive, the property was ready and open for us to move in without fuss. We wanted a base to be able to further explore the area following a recent visit and Prospect Perch was perfect for us. The added bonus for me was the delight on my 12-year-old daughter's face when she saw how 'cool' this fantastic place is! The views are amazing! It's like super luxury glamping on stilts, with all of your home comforts and complete privacy to come and go as you need. We made the most of every single day and felt extremely delighted to arrive back each evening before our next day's adventure. I forgot my National Trust card and Victoria arranged for my pass to be printed and delivered to the Perch door. This was a real lifesaver for me - thank you! If you get the opportunity to stay - take it!

    It was in a lovely remote area. It was nice clean and spacious for our family of four. It had everything we needed in it and was very comfortable. The host Victoria and her family were lovely, very helpful and provided us with tea, coffee, biscuits, scones, clotted cream and jam on arrival. Prospect Perch was close by to lots of attractions and set in beautiful grounds were we could watch the sun set every night. Our girls made full use of the garden and swings and climbing frame. They were sad to leave as they got on so well with Victoria’s children in such a short space of time. we visited Street, Cheddar, Bath and Weston-super mare whilst there as they are all within an hours drive. Wells is right on the doorstep which is such a pretty little town. We hope to definitely visit again.
