Chapterhouse - Hot tub - Free Parking
The city of Wells is by no means sprawling (in fact it's the smallest in England), however what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in sheer enchantment with its cobbled streets and market village atmosphere. It also happens to boast one of the most marvellous Medieval cathedrals in the land, and it's one that has been attracting at first pilgrims then visitors by their droves since the 13th Century. Huddled in the heart of rural Somerset at the foot of the Mendhips, Wells is a merge of two attractive worlds, one of Gothic architecture, narrow streets, pavement cafes and independent shops, and the other of countryside quiet and nature-infused pursuits.
With its secluded setting and sweeping outlook over private farmland, this gorgeous glamping pod is a little slice of rural perfection, but what makes it completely unique is its staggering, uninterrupted view of Wells Cathedral. The ideal balance between countryside escapism and city break, Chapterhouse offers couples a truly idyllic place to unwind away from a busy schedule while being just a stroll from Wells city and all it has to offer. Designed with perfect proportions that feel more boutique retreat than rustic, the pod's interior feels contemporary, spacious and airy, with creature comforts galore. There's a dining area, living room, kitchen and bedroom all laid out as open plan and a separate bathroom which includes a large walk-in shower complete with rain head. French doors open the entire space outside to a timber deck where you'll be able to unwind in complete solitude, barbecuing in the sunshine or indulgently soaking in the wood-fired hot tub which has been tucked away to the side of the lodge.
Guests with their four-legged companions in tow will be pleased to know Chapterhouse welcomes pets, so for peace of mind, the fence surrounding the property completely encloses the space. There are also many lovely walks in the area for both humans and canines to explore including a public bridle way that lies directly behind the field. Of course, Wells is a mere stroll away, so you'll be able to enjoy a coffee or luncheon at The Bishop's Table within minutes of leaving your front door.
1 pet accepted: Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation.

Relaxing retreat
The place was even better than it looked in the pictures. Perfect for the two of us with the dog. Really close to the centre and you still felt you were in the middle of the countryside, best of both worlds. Would highly recommend.

Perfect accommodation in a lovely location.
Our stay at chapter house was brilliant, with a view of the cathedral. Upon arrival everything was clean and essentials was provided for us which was great. The bed was sooo comfy with a nice shower and the hot tub was lush. Chapter house is located a 5 min walk into wells. Was just a perfect stay just after Christmas, thank you for having us and we would deffo come back.

Perfect stay
Booked for a week getaway with my partner and dog, absolutely fab. Great place, perfect walks into Wells and around for the dog. Lovely host. Soon to be 3 pods next to each other, but the spacing between each maintains a good amount of privacy. The hampers we’re great and gave us some lovely surprises on arrival too. Would recommend + will be booking again.

Perfect place to stay in wells
Had a wonderful time staying at the chapterhouse. Had everything we needed. Hot tub was brilliant even on a drizzly day. Just a short walk across the field and you’re in town. The owner of the farm Michael was great, couldn’t do enough for us. Would love to come back soon. Thank you!

Perfect!
A perfect weekend getaway for my partner and I. Ideal for our small sausage dog. The cabin was amazing - clean, modern, comfy! And the amenities (hot tub, fire pit, WiFi etc) were all in working order and made the stay incredible. We soaked in the hot tub under the stars for a once-in-a-lifetime evening. Thank you!

Nice but needs a spruce up
great location and easy booking through luxury coastal.
Reasonably well equipped pod, but there’s a reasonable amount of black mould around the shower and on the wooden walls. If you look closely it’s also really not very clean. Corners are full of dust and dirt, kitchen area needed a deep clean etc.
Otherwise it was a pleasurable stay. Short walk into Wells which is beautiful and plenty of great places to eat nearby. There is also a Nespresso Vertuo machine in the pod, but no mention of this and no coffee pods provided

Fantastic weekend
My husband and I stayed in a pod for the weekend at chapter house as an anniversary gift from our daughters and it didn’t disappoint. The pod was easy to access with a key box just outside the door, the code is text to you a few days before your stay so you don’t have to fuss meeting people for the keys. It was clean and comfortable and had little finishing touches which made it feel homely. It was surprisingly very warm inside even without the heating on.
The hot tub was a bonus was so easy to use and was secluded.
I’m not a camper at all but glamping i’d happily do again, the pod included a good sized bathroom with toilet sink and shower, a microwave and hob, a kettle and toaster and a bbq in the lovely fenced off garden space complete with table and chairs. It was so peaceful and just a short walk to wells town. Would definitely recommend.
Me and my partner stayed here with our puppy Bill. We had the most wonderful time, the place itself was very cute and had everything we need for a short getaway.
You can easily walk into the city and the location itself is perfect for short drives to Cheddar, Wooky or Weston.
The hot tub was a massive bonus and was super relaxing after days of long walks. It got really hot and it felt very luxurious.
It’s worth considering that if you have a big dog that like to jump then the fence around the property isn’t that high.
The only small thing I can that the place could do with was some coat hooks, we didn’t have anywhere to hang our coats after a rainy day. Obviously not the end of the world but could be a good idea.
We would definitely return in a heartbeat!
Thank you 😊
