Fabulous B&B Near Wells
'We stayed at The Manor Farm in East Horrington (just outside of Wells) when we did the Glastonbury/Avebury/Wells trip, and found that it was probably one of the most wonderful 'Backdoor' experiences we've ever had while travelling through Europe. The proprietress, Fiona Fridd, and her family welcomed us with open arms to their 14th century restored manor house, and showed us a true taste of English country life. Our room, over what used to be the barn, was delightful, and Fiona arranged for us to have dinner at a local coaching house that was populated by locals serving game brought in daily by the hunters from the surrounding countryside. She warned us about the huge portions (thank goodness!), and told us we should save room for our 'pudding,' which was not to be missed. We were grateful, as she was absolutely correct!'
'We spent our evening playing billiards and darts in her game room, and enjoyed access to her home, and in the morning, had a fresh-cooked breakfast including homemade bread and jams, before
departing. I can't imagine finding a nicer place to stay anywhere ... She was also a wealth of knowledge regarding the local sights and surrounding countryside, and also the history of her home and
community, and she made us feel like visiting relatives rather than paying guests. We could not have been more pleased.'

'We have all had an amazing holiday. Fell in love with Wells, great market on Wed, Bishop's Palace is a must. Did VIP safari at Longleat, got some great photos – brilliant day! Thank you
Fiona for all your excellent hospitality. It was wonderful to come back each night and find our room so clean and tidy. Thoroughly spoilt. Can't wait to come again next year. Loved your animals,
especially Morse and Riga!'
