The White Hart Inn

About

Nestled in the heart of Wells, Somerset, The White Hart Inn offers a comfortable and welcoming base for travellers seeking a quiet escape from bustling cities. Built in the 15th century and recently refurbished by award‑winning designers in 2018, the hotel boasts 15 beautiful en‑suite bedrooms ranging from single to triple rooms, each fitted with tea and coffee making facilities. With 14 luxurious rooms, guests can unwind in a cosy environment that reflects the historic charm of the city. Its central location means the church‑domed Wells Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace are just a short stroll away, while the surrounding Mendip Hills provide a dramatic backdrop for countryside walks. The hotel is more than just a place to sleep – it offers a range of dining and event options. The onsite pub serves a delightful menu that changes from summer to winter, with brunches, breakfasts, lunch menus and an evening menu from 5 pm to 9 pm. Live music runs Tuesdays and Sundays and a quiz on the last Sunday each month draws a regular crowd. Couples can celebrate special occasions in the staged banquet rooms, while the hotel’s “Hart’s Head” conference room and other room capacities are available for weddings and corporate meetings. The White Hart is truly a versatile venue for holidaymakers with pets, as dogs are happily welcome. When you arrive, the friendly reception will happily guide you to your room and recommend the best local walks, or even help arrange a day‑trip to nearby attractions such as Bath, Bristol and the impressive Longleat estate. The hotel’s public gardens and beer garden extend the relaxed atmosphere outside the rooms. Whether you’re looking for a family‑friendly holiday centre or a serene riverside retreat, The White Hart Inn delivers a genuine English hospitality experience wrapped in history and comfort.
