When you are on walk about in Wells, get down to this very busy and delicious vegetarian cafe. It serves the tastiest dishes in a buffet kind of way, where you don't have to wait for your food you just point at the dish that looks the most delicious (which is hard as it's all amazing!) Try the health food store next door too.

Essentials

This is such a great place to go and spend a day just relaxing. The spa welcomes couples, groups and friends who just want to be pampered. The treatments are world class using only natural products and the hot baths and steam rooms are fantastic. I'd highly recommend getting a package which includes a treatment, full use of the facilities and lunch a really good day out whatever the weather.
