St Michael’s Cottage is one of Wells’ oldest buildings and as such, there are uneven floor levels and steps both within and outside the property. The staircases inside the property are Norfolk winder stairs which means, as with older character cottages, they are enclosed, steep, curved and narrow. We would advise that the house would not be suitable for the less agile. But it is a very enchanting cottage and those who stay will adore the unique character that it comes with.
