This was our tenth stay at The Waterfront and it was as brilliant as ever. Lehr is a great host. The breakfasts from both Lehr and Katie were delicious and there are amazing views from the guest rooms across the salt marshes. We have already booked for next year.

The location of the B&B was perfect. Beautiful views, car parking, quiet but just a short stroll along the seafront into Wells. Everything about it surpassed what we had read in the reviews and the reviews are really, really good. …
