Good value but be aware that Arch rooms are a walk away from the main building and more like just rooms though there are lounge areas.

Don't book the arch house
Booked into the arch rooms, like an old fashioned ymca/hostel. Stains on the ceiling and carpets. Really old fashioned and not worth the money. Managed to get moved into the main hotel which was an accessible room. Room was nice but barhroom not ideal. Wouldn't stay again.

GLOBE INN Sea side stay
The Globe Inn is well located in Wells next to the sea
Very traditional pub with an excellent choice in drink and food
We noted the place is very dog friendly and the easily reachable walk to the quay area, the only negative comment would be trying to find an empty space to park in tbe vicinity, which at high peak times I guess would be worse

A Weekend In Wells-next-the Sea
Stayed in annexe to which the rooms were adequate but looking tired.
Our room had been 'serviced' but not cleaned as the carpet had not been hovered and there was a build up of dust on some of the furniture
There was also rotting food in one of the drawers which we addressed with the hotel but never even got an apology. Tea & coffee facilities in communal area were not adequate for the number of rooms.
Would I stay there again? ... probably not

The accommodation in the annex was a little way away from town, but walkable. We arrived a bit early, trying to avoid the rain on bicycles - but staff were understanding and prioritised getting our room ready. Felt uncomfortable arriving by bike, as no options for storing the bikes were provided, and perhaps this might be considered as the location is on the Rebellion Way, which many touring cyclists are doing.

We were allocated a room in the annex Arch house, being fully aware that it a very old building we found the room rather small and stuffy, needs some maintenance, window very dirty and too much light visible at night from LED lights, I’ll fitting door and window blind and glass window in ensuit door. Carpets not very clean in all areas.

Poor quality at Arch House
Room was is a tired annex 500m from the Globe. This was not at all clear when making the booking. Dog hair all over the carpets and everywhere smelled musty. Room had water ingress all over ceiling, probably need a new roof. Lots of damage/poor decoration in both bedroom and bathroom. Certainly not the expected quality for what we paid. Will not return and can not recommend staying here. Also on arriving we found out we needed to make a booking for breakfast, in doing so we found we could only be seated at 08:15 or after 09:30 which were not great choices. Why did they not offer a booking when they called a week before to confirm booking.

The property was not what was expected or advertised and beyond that it was scruffy, dirty, tired, not secure - very disappointing. Breakfast was a shining light with excellent service from Alexa.,

We had expected a higher standard of accommodation for the price. We were in a room in the Arches part of the accommodation, which is a 5 minute walk from The Globe and from where breakfast was served. The room was small, although the bathroom was a good size. First impressions is that the place is grubby e.g. both entrance doors are shabby and the steep stairs to the first floor rooms are dirty, as are the walls. The room carpet was also dirty. Also the backdoor with a keypad was never locked. However, it was very quiet and parking was good. Didn‘t like dogs shaking themselves when we were having breakfast. They shouldn’t be allowed in dining areas.
