Paradise House provides bed & breakfast in a detached Grade II Listed Georgian house within the Conservation Area of the small village of Croscombe in Somerset, just 2.5 miles from Wells, England's smallest cathedral city. The house pre-dates the 1790s so has its own unique character.
It would be appreciated if you could let me know, a few days in advance, of your anticipated arrival time. I will endeavour to fit in with a time-scale that suits you; however generally speaking check-in is between 4 and 6 p.m.
