House with great character
The house fitted our room requirements perfectly
we are a group of 6 couples who have been friends for over 50 years, this was our 6th visit to The Normans, it is the ideal venue and location for a group and the house has always been wonderful, there are some new features and the upkeep is first class, we've already booked for next year
Beautifully appointed house in an ideal location. I had a great birthday with all the family - 3 generations were all well catered for with pool table, cinema, very comfortable bedrooms, town, woods and beach all nearby. Housekeeper very helpful and efficient. The one glitch we had was swiftly dealt with. Would definitely strongly recommend this house for a big gathering and would love to stay there again.
Fantastic house, perfectly situated in Wells, large rooms beautifully decorated, all bedrooms I would happily stay in, not one poor room. All bathrooms are modernly equipped. Rural Retreats we’re very professional nothing was too much trouble.
Lovely house with good facilities. Great for a large family get together. Clean and very comfortable.
What a superb property in a wonderful location. Beautifully decorated & furnished in a traditional style, with White Company bedding, it was ideal for our group of 11 adults to get together & explore the local area on foot. We made good use of the cinema room (though a few more chairs there would have helped), ate outside in the garden & hired an amazing private chef (Avril of Chef to Dine) to make our long weekend even more luxurious. Superb welcome hamper too. We’d happily return.
excellent accommodation well maintained property
Great house for a group of friends. Plenty of good sized communal space plus 5 bedrooms had an ensuite. Very well located in centre of Wells. Sarah the housekeeper was very helpful with answering questions before our visit and putting together a lovely welcome hamper.
Great accomodation, location and enjoyment!
This is the second time I have stayed at this house, both with a large group of females friends - for my 40th and now my 50th. The house is stunning and lends itself perfectly to a large group. We had caterers on Friday night and the majority of the rest of the time we just sat around eating and drinking as its so nice you dont want to leave. Hopefully see you again for my 60th - fingers crossed
Lovely house with excellent facilities. Very well located. We will definitely go back!
Beautiful house that worked so well with a large group of 11. Amazing views from upstairs, a lovely compact enclosed garden and en suites or adjacent bathrooms throughout the house.
This would have been five stars but for the number of stuffed animals and the poor choice of artwork displayed on the walls. Our six grandchildren in particular disliked the artwork and especially the stuffed animals. Otherwise the facilities were very good and the thirteen of us enjoyed our four days over New Year and the excellent weather helped. The pool table was a big hit with everyone. The downstairs shower could do with upgrading. Temperature control was poor as was the pressure.
Second time we have stayed here.The house is very well equipped,beautiful bedrooms and the billiard room is a lot of fun. Situated near the centre of Wells there is plenty to do and lots of good local shops.
Excellent venue, beautiful house
Amazing property - everything was perfect
The house was spotless and also included a fabulous welcome basket. We all had a great time and even the weather was quite kind to us.
Everything was spot on! Great location

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
